Hi Phil,

Please don't feel like the Lone Ranger. We used to 'play' with the dividends and interest from our CDs which have pretty much dried up and we are reluctant to ingratiate the coffers of oil speculators. According to government figures, there is no shortage of oil, only shortage of compassion for those who need fuel.

Even now, we pretty much use our coach as an apartment for our kids and grandkids to stay in, when they come to visit or a quiet place for us when we have company staying with us. We will use our coach for rallies close by such as Bean Station, perhaps even at $6.00 per gallon. Meanwhile, our coach does give this old man something to wash and polish and tinker with. It remains my joy to do so.

Considering inflation, $3.50 per gallon is about what we paid for fuel back in the 50s and 60s. While it would be nice to have 'deep pockets', we feel blessed in having our coach as it is. With the help of brother Chuck Boyd and others at Bean Station, repairs are still affordable. A major breakdown would probably put us out of business and we'd probably have to sell our coach. We simply could not justify taking from family money to continue our GMC odyssey. But that would be another day, ...and all we have is the moment of now, ...which we enjoy with our coach in our driveway, Bean Station or near by.

Thanks for asking.

It is no secret that gas prices are headed for new levels, well above $4 a gallon, maybe $5 by summer.� Just curious when folks are going to park it and at what level.� Will you drive your coach at $5 a gallon or more?� How about long trips to rallies at over $5 a gallon?� My cross country summer trips are probably put on hold for a while.� How do you feel and at what level do you park it?� At $6 a gallon, mine will become a storage pod, only to be started once in a while. What is your limit?
