We stayed at Pocatello, ID for a couple of days, mostly just
to rest between the miles. While we were
there, our refrigerator died. At around
3 am on the 14th, I heard the refrigerator beeping. I went to see if maybe we’d lost power, but
saw that it was giving an error message.
I tried turning it off then back on to no avail. Later that day we started smelling
ammonia. We knew that this was the death
knoll for working part of our refrigerator.
We called Big Country RV to arranged to have it looked at once we got to
Bend but they couldn’t fit us in until the middle of September. So, I ended up calling Accurate RV Mobile
Service in Bend. They took all our
information and asked us to call as soon as we got to the Bend/Sisters Garden RV
Resort (formerly the KOA next to the rodeo grounds) and let them know our site
number. Billy showed up at the time he
said he would on Wednesday. He took all
our information and told us he should know something in a few days. The next morning he called to say all the
warranty papers had been approved by Good Sam and they should have the rebuild
parts next Monday. He scheduled our
repair for next Tuesday. I would highly
recommend Accurate RV Mobile service for anyone needing work on their RV. So far we have been very pleased.
In the meantime, we had a great time visiting Mike’s son and
his family in Boise for 3 days. We
hadn’t previously known about the Freak Alley in Boise. This alley gives people an opportunity where they can legally paint
graffiti on the walls. We also got to see for the first time Todd’s office.

We are off to a jump start in visiting with Bend
friends. The afternoon we arrived in
Bend I got a call from my good friend, Mindy. She asked me if I knew that Mike Wurtz, one
of my former co-workers, had taken a new job.
I said no. She told me there was
a group gathering to congratulate him and wanted to know if Mike and I would
like to go. Of course we said yes. It was fun to walk into Mavericks and see the
look of shock on everyone’s faces since no one knew we were in town.
We also got to surprise our former Sundance neighbors, Larry
and Terry Scott, by stopping by their business, B&D Glass. We had a really good chat and plan to get
together for lunch or dinner.
Yesterday morning we decided to take a walk along the river and ran into another former co-worker, Valerie Beese. She was so surprised to see us. I’m sure we’ll be getting together as well!
We will be here until September 30th so our plans here will be full
of catching up with friends.
Until later and until we have more news, we wish our friends and family well!
