Here are some shots of the interior of the new Bearfoot. BF is in the service bay today getting some additions and servicing. Bashey and I awoke to an ankle deep pond surrounding our MH this morning. I complained and we were given another site right next door. It is a hassle to pick up and move but I did it late today. I had tied Bashey to the picnic table on the "wet" site while I moved the coach and car. When I went over to get him, he had taken advantage of the black mud and rolled in it. Yes, ears, eyes and all down his back and one side. He looked so proud of himself. I was too tired to take his picture. I gave him an immediate bath outside. Now he looks disappointed.

Here are the outside shots of the new Bearfoot. I will post some interior ones when it stops raining. I went to my closing this afternoon and when I came out of the building, it was pouring. I waited for the shuttle bus but was getting so wet, decided to walk and at least get closer to home if I was going to get drenched. Well, the lightning was flashing and it rained harder as I neared the Crown Club area (this is where the top of the line, million dollar motorhomes are shown). I jumped into a 45' Beaver, dropped my umbrella at the door and stood on the carpet for a few minutes while I dripped off and took a good look around at my surroundings. Wow! That one would be nice if one wanted to live in the lap of luxury. Those motorized homes are unbelieveably beautiful and well appointed. I stayed for awhile and began to fantasize about falling asleep like goldilocks only to be discovered after the storm. It grew dark and I wanted to be home with Bashey so left in the rain and ankle deep water. A Knight in damp work clothes camp along in a golf cart chariot and offered me a windy, wet ride home. The good part is the rain is warm. Our little old MH looked very good to me. A glass of wine, warm dinner and jammies felt superb. More later--

These two photos are of Oriental, NC and the Neuse River.
As of today, it looks like this Bearfoot journey will now be located in an '03 Dolphin LX MH which is 34' long. It is much more spacious than the current Bearfoot which is 36' long due to wider slide out rooms. It looks new and is very clean. Very low mileage and seems to have been kept well. I took pictures yesterday but the coaches are parked very closely together so until I pull it out into the camping area where we do the moving exchange, I may not get wonderful pictures. It has full window awnings which look unused. I have awnings on my current MH and they have saved me running the AC and offer a great deal of privacy. As part of the deal, they are putting on a power pak patio awning, driving side window shades and a wash, wax and buff to the outside. They clean the carpets and the upholstery as part of the deal too. They are great here about fixing anything one can find wrong with the coach. Now it gets down to getting the coach into a service bay, getting the work done, moving in and heading down to Naples by Dec. 1st or 2nd. My resevations down there begin on the first but I may be a day late. Lots to be done in the next few days.

The weather here remains lovely. Hate to tell you northerners that but 'tis very nice.
