We headed out of town Friday night. Destination: Miracle Hot Springs. As I mentioned in my previous post, this was our first road trip in BB and she totally kicked ass. We were very happy with her performance and are feeling slightly more comfortable with the upcoming California trip in 17 days (knock on wood).
We camped in the RV park at Miracle where we’d never stayed before. (On a previous trip, we rented the Queen dome at Miracle which was AWESOME.) Grateful for electricity, our space heater ran all night and we were nice and toasty. I went for a nice moonlit middle of the night walk to the bathroom (stumbling like a zombie as I had left my glasses in the bus) and the campground was quiet and clean and felt safe (which is always nice when camping).
Saturday morning, after a dip in the hot springs (aaahhhhhh) we headed to Craig’s parents house in Twin Falls where we changed BB’s oil (and as a bonus saw Craig’s mom, brother, sister-in-law, cousin Melissa and JAMES our nephew--he’s such a stud.) The good news was that there was only a little metal in the oil which our mechanic warned us would be there as this was our new engine’s 200 mile oil change.
We still can’t believe that she’s actually running.
Here’s our “to do” list before April 15
Install sliding door seal
Install rear hatch seal
Install radio
Fix squeaky speedometer cable (it gets old fast)
Try more solutions for keeping rain from coming in the westy top
Remove tint from passenger window
Remove crappy old foam pieces from the underside of the westy top.
Hope for dry weather in California.

We saw you guys coming out of twin as we were going in. I told Becky that it was you but she didn't see Craig driving.
Awesome! Good stuff!
Very nice looking bus. Sounds like you had a great time.
