Now to move everything in that we are keeping and sell the rest.

Way to go Jay, looking forward to seeing your new rig. Upgrading to a Creek is awesome but I'm not so sure about the full timing. My tool box and her shoe collection would not fit but I applauded your ambition sir.

I am retiring in a year and we are ready for a change. Kids are grown and doing well and there is so much of this country that we have never seen, so here we go!

We will move in right away. The housing market is really good right now, so we are going to sell now. We will hit the road next spring after I retire.

Ray was the salesman of record although we never met in person. Maria and I knew exactly what we wanted. Ray was off when we picked it up. I did talk with Jeff yesterday.
Everything went very smooth. We got there at 8:30 and it was right at noon when we left. They were ready for us when we arrived and we did the PDI, signed the papers and were on our way.

We have an indoor storage. We will only be using it for a couple more weeks. Good thing, it just barely fits. Another foot and we would not be able to get it in.

We are in Topeka today, getting a rear cap replaced. The people at the Cedar Creek factory has always been great to us. If we ever would trade this camper it would be for another Cedar Creek. Have fun with yours

Looks good,  I am envious of going full time, I am trying to get ready so maybe someday we can go also, (not sure the wife will ever want to leave the grand kids.)  It may be lonely for me for a little bit when I go.

When you turn off #5 to get to Topika there is a gas station. Don;t know why but they have some of the best chicken fingers you will ever get.
