A week ago, we arranged to pick up our '10 Winslow 28RLW from Hastings Motor Sales (great people!) in Hastings, Nebraska, on Thursday, March 18. We planned to camp a night or two on the way back to Denver. But winter isn't finished yet. It started snowing this morning. So I made the 850-mile round trip yesterday to beat the storm.
The GlideRide pin box makes it pull like a dream. I felt a hint of chucking in one spot on I-76 where the pavement was screwed up, but nowhere else.
Here's a pic of Deb operating a snow shovel in our driveway next to the new baby.

My plan was to store it on the north side of the house, but Deb explained how "tacky" that would look. I had thought it would a source of pleasure and satisfaction to look at it several times a day. Thirty-nine years of marriage and she still hasn't refined my tastes to any appreciable extent. 
I guess it has to go to an RV storage lot.

She's a real beauty with the paint job just like our RT. Bet you can't wait for it to warm up to try out the Hydralift! Better warm it up over there, we will be blasting through the latter half of May on our way to Ouray for the summer.

Let us know when you're coming through, Dave. Maybe we can hoist one or two and tell some stories. Ouray is one of the most beautiful parts of the state.
