Red Bay, AL… April 2011

This post is backtracking…trying to catch up.

We left Coastal Haven RV park on April 20 and headed north to the Tiffin motorhome service center in Red Bay, AL to have a couple of things done to our Phaeton motorhome.  As we did not have an appointment, we were not sure just how long we would be there before being able to get into a service bay.

But, as usual, we met some great people and formed new friendships.  And we got to eat at our favorite breakfast place in Red Bay…Jack’s.  Here we are starting with the lady in the black top…Barb, Don, Lucy, me, Bob, Carol, Mike and Tom.  Barb, Lucy and Carol are all quilters.001

After we had breakfast, we met with these folks again and Bob asked Don, the gentleman in the red shirt, if they happened to have been in South Dakota last summer.  Don said they had…they stayed at Sheridan Lake campground where we were the hosts.  Small world department…they are from Maine.

For you Tiffin folks, this is one of the large trees at the park in downtown Red Bay.  We spent most of one night and the next day in the designated storm shelter at the Tiffin service center due to siren warnings.  Just about the time it was all clear we would start to leave and then another siren would go off.  It was a tiring experience but thankfully no one was hurt and only minor damage in Red Bay.

This was taken in Belmont, AL, where the Tiffin paint shop is located.  There was more damage to  buildings here but again no injuries.010

Next stop…Kentucky.  Moving on.
