Today, we again were slow to get going. We woke up to about 2 inches of snow, and it was snowing. We had planned to go to the Central Railroad Museum, but we just didn't get moving fast enough. We knew that sometime after lunch Heartland would be calling us to say Mammoth was ready, so we didn't want to stray too far away into an adventure.
View out of our window of the snow
Snow collected on the new tank, and you can see the teflon plate on the hitch (green).
One of the unique things that happened yesterday in our meetings was that we were asked to participate in a testimonial video. We agreed, and that was scheduled for today, as well, so we knew it would be another busy day.
We also took a quick trip back down the road to Goshen, so we could fill up the big fuel tank in anticipation of the drive back home. Ouch! that's a lot of $$$ to fill up!!
About 11:00, we got the call to set up the video shoot. They decided to do it in our coach, so we just had to wait until it was ready. We ate lunch and about 2PM, we arranged to meet the videographer for the shoot. Mammoth was not entirely ready, but we were able to do the video inside. I guess we'll be famous! I'll get my autograph pen ready....
After a few more little items, we were finally ready to hitch and go. But wait! That pretty new fuel tank blocks the view of the hitch! Whoops! We improvised with a piece of tape marking the hitch location, and had no issues getting her locked and loaded. We thanked all the workers that had helped give Mammoth a nose-job, neck lift, and makeover, then headed back to the hotel with her. We ate our leftover pizza, then went to work loading the stuff we had unloaded just 4 days before. She was now ready to head back home in the morning. She looks so good! Almost brand new! She even got fresh decals, as our originals had prematurely aged and discolored.
(Picture taken the next morning) Ready to go!
Nice new decals!
Wonderful -- so will Eileen we famous as well? You will have to get her a pen! : )
