Trip is almost over and we have to return the RV and get on the road by 4pm at the latest. We are on the home stretch to Denver after traveling through plains, deserts, along the coast, and up and down many mountains. Coming up the last mountain in the Rockies the RV slows and stops. Eventually we got going but it put us back an hour and a half. Then the person who is supposed to meet us at at 6pm can't get there until 730. We play football in the parking lot and ghost ride the RV to keep us occupied. Finally we are on our way at 8pm but wait!!! the window won't go back up we can't ride 1500 miles home with the passenger side window open the whole way!! Stop at home depot for plexi glass. (Of course we already have duct tape on hand that we used to keep the RV side view mirror attached). We got the "replacement" window in and were on our way by 9:30 sharp. Sounds like the beginning of the trip doesn't it? Paulson did an excellent job of driving through Colorado and much of Nebraska until 3:30am while I kept holding the window from blowing out every time we passed a truck. We had to keep pulling over so put more duct tape on the window. What a pain!!! Then Emily kept us going until we got close to Chicago while Paul baby sat the window Great job! Now we are on our way to Valpo where I went to school and I get to bust my brain trying to remember way back then and where everything is sure to drive everyone else crazy!!!!! Later Bev
