Coon Dog Cemetary

That's right, a Coon Dog Cementary, rather, I should say the 'World Famous' Coon Dog Cementary in Mississippi. Over 200 coonhounds buried here with a celebration held once a year at labor day. They take this seriously. One fella buried his dog here and the Coon Hound Hunter Association found out it was not a coonhound, made the man dig it up and bury it elsewhere.

After that we toured the Tiffin factory. I found it fascinating; MLA did an excellent job of hiding her yawns, except when there was a chance to go thru the top of the line Tiffin, called a Zepher. It's a beaut; 45 feet long, tag axle, 500 HP Diesel, top-of-the-line everything and retails for ~$450K. Lady has excellent (and expensive) taste -- guess thats how she got me ;>) -- told her HP stock would have to hit at least $100/share for us to get a Zephyr.

In the afternoon we arrived in Memphis and picked up our new coach. We are now camped somewhere in Mississippi, listening to an emergency alert broadcast for a Winter Weather Advisory for snow, sleet, freezing rain, and ice until noon tomorrow. Excellent. Still trying to understand the different systems. Have heat and lights using LP and 12V power; no luck in getting the shore power to work just yet.

There are literally 12" of printed material: Owner's manuals, warranty documentaion, wiring diagrams, etc. All very good except nothing directly addresses the shore power issue. Oh well, I'll make some calls in the am.

All in all, an excellent start. The coach is everything we hoped it would be. Should have seen me driving; this thing is HUGE. Only two u-turns on a 10 mile trip to the campground. Lesson learned: Locate destination on GPS before putting this beast in gear.

Tommorrow we start getting the tow gear and motorcycle lift installed on coach and base plate on CR-V.

See ya!
