Homecoming:
We got up early and drove to Hamilton, Ohio, I did see a big round orange ball in the sky!(The Sun) LoL! Mike thought that I wouldn't remember what it was since it had been a long time since I got up before 9 am! Haha!
Hitch:
They installed the new hitch while we were doing our walk through on the 5er. It took twice as long, because they had to remove the goose neck hitch that was already there, so we ended up waiting on the truck for about a half hour after we finished the walk through on the 5er. I think they do that on purpose so ya have time to shop in the parts and accessories store!
5er:
The guy took us through a class of 5er 101. He was very informative and explained each system in detail, as we were doing the walk through, THANKS Earl!
Then he showed us how to hook up and unhook from the hitch. After that all our classes were done, and they turned us loose on the highways and society! Haha!
Drive Home:
Everytime we hit a bump I braced myself, and shut my eyes! I was so nervous, but after about a half hour we both calmed down for the rest of the way home. Mike had no trouble towing the 5er, and he said it tracked really good, and it stayed in an even line with the truck.
Driveway Event:
Backing the 5th wheel into the driveway turned into a nonevent!!!! Within 10 minutes we had the 5er in the drive! Mike was AWESOME!! He said that all the backing he did on the farm when he was a kid payed off! I think he just did a snow job on me! Good thing I didn't bet him money, cause I would have lost it!
It turned into a very satisfying day for us! We are so excited to finally have our new Cedar Creek Silverback 5er sitting in our driveway!!!!! I'm not saying we won't have trouble ever backing in a campsite ever, but I was sure impressed!

- This the story of our journey, Into Something Good, going Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and trying to Hold Onto Our Dreams. How we got on the way to becoming HALF time RVers! Our Ford 350 super duty diesel truck is our horses, we call it the Beast . Our 2008 34'7" 3 slide Cedar Creek Silverback fifth wheel is our Prairie Schooner Wagon,we call it the Bear. Just like the first RVers, the Pioneers of Yesteryear traveling around the country searching for a rich full filling life! Come along with us for the ride and read about our triumphs and mishaps along the way! About to be Part time RVers in a Cedar Creek Silverback 2008, 34'7", 3 slide 5th wheel, which is our Prairie Schooner Wagon, and a 2006 Ford 350 super duty 1 ton diesel truck is our horses, or oxen, only we have to feed it diesel instead of grass, and oats, which costs a lot more! Retired Air Force empty nesters off to see the good ole USA! Favorite Quote: "Life is a Blank Canvas, Made For Me to Add the Colors" Goal: I am trying to add as many colors as I can to my life!
