After rescuing a 21' Class C here in Dayton last fall, Having new exaust,water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, radiator, belts, hoses, clearance lights, oil/ filter, and tires, We (Myself and son Matthew) headed south to Mamouth Cave.

Spending Thursday night at the park and Friday AM seeing the cave, We headed south to the GTG. that evening made it to GTG. Great food, A few shots with Marvin to break in his Beaver, A good night sleep, Coffee with StinkyDaddy in AM, Telling Lies with other Barth Junkies, Some Go Cart Racing. then headed northeast to Lone Mountain on the shore of Lake Nooris.

Matthew drowned lot of worms and minnow before bringing in a 1.5lb bass. He was happy to have caught a fish on the trip and got to do a little off roading in a 1946 Jeep.

Spending second night at the lake to avoid having to drive home in Spring Break traffic we headed home Monday AM. stopping by to visit childhood friend outside Lexinton. Made Ohio river bridge about 8:00PM and thru Cincy without to much traffic.

The old girl ran well. Pulled all the hills at speed, Handle great. Ride was as good as expected for a 37 year old. and never missed a beat after a fuel filter change.

Still have my list of things that need to be done. But has passed the Shake down with flying colors. Thumbs Up
