Teri and I left Rob's at noon and rolled in here about 430 pm. No one is parked in the "GMC circle" spot. We are at mm 99 on the west side of the road.
Life is good,

Of course, FEEDING the coyotes just adds to their
survival rate and will lead toward an infestation
of coyotes!

So decided it might be best to just stay another day. Besides, the grandson and I are having a lot of fun hunting rabbits on the Golf Coarse. They are a huge problem here and we are thinning out the herd. The sound of gun shots is like a dinner call for the coyotes. Nothing goes to waste here....the coyotes eat the ones we shoot. Leave them lay...they are gone the next morning.

From what I am seeing it is not as busy as last year. Tyson Wells is crowded but Main Event isn't. The camp ground I'm in in Blythe didn't fill up. I was at the Blythe bluegrass festival today and there are a lot of empty RV spaces, this has been full each year in the past. Also not as many people at the event. Posibly the bad weather this year kept some folks home.

Well, we are on our way. We left this morning from Manteca, CA. I'm in
Santa Clarita, CA right now. The plywood flooring above my driver's
side muffler caught fire as I pulled into the Flying-J at the top of
the Grapevine (long hard pull as I'm towing the Scion xB instead of
the buggy). Burned a big hole in the floor and carpet. Thought I was
going to lose it. Used the window cleaning sponge at the gas station
to put the embers out. Had to cut out a big chunk of carpet to get to
the smoldering stuff underneath. I'm going to take the MH to a
muffler shop tomorrow so they can install some shielding over both
mufflers. I also think my alternator has gone out. When I arrived at
the RV Park, both coach and chassis batteries read 10.2 volts. Will do
some checking in the morning. Wife says it's time to get an Alfa See
Ya. Might make it there tomorrow, but probably sunday. Still plan on
being there until the 26th, then on to NM. Love these LED lights from
the Dollar Tree...

Gary,
Make sure you do not have a hole in the top of the muffler where the hole burned in your floor. Dan had a similar occurrence on his coach a few years back. We installed a metal shield on the bottom of the floor over the top of the muffler. Later coaches like my 1976 have a sheet metal piece on the bottom of the floor over the mufflers.

Hey Gary, If you are going to burn that baby down, don't do it in a gas
station. <Grin> Sorry to hear of your troubles but glad you caught it in
time. It is amazing how much heat is handled by the exhaust system. Any
where the exhaust runs closer than 2" to a combustible material, a metal
heat shield is a good idea. They can develop some very annoying harmonic
noises, particularly if they touch anything lightly.
