Thanks to all of you for the words of encouragement! I know we'll be getting back to you with questions soon. We've got a reservation for our first night at a campground on our way back from Iowa (picking up our fifth wheeler) to our home in Arkansas. So, our first leap of faith . . . Pam and Ric Moser
