January 25, 2010 - Ortona South Locks, Corps of Engineer, FL: These past couple of months have gone by pretty quick. In December, we rushed from Alabama to Florida to see about purchasing a new motor home. You can read about that experience and decision here. We ordered the Tiffin Phaeton and had to wait for it to be built and delivered. In mid December, our daughter Cynthia (and friend Melanie) f...

Since we're anxious to get started on our summer jobs, we did make a couple day drives to the areas we'll be managing. After a week at Beale AFB, we moved a few days ago to Indian Valley Campground on the Yuba River...
