Had a nice weekend trip up to Noccalula Falls about 90 minutes north of Birmingham, AL. Nice campground right next to the falls with air conditioned bathrooms. A big plus since we were pushing 105 on the heat index during the day. The campground did have shady spots, unfortunately we weren't in one. On the upside, the 15K ac unit and the extra insulation I put in when redoing the ceiling, sides, and floor continue to make even the hottest, muggiest days in the southeast bearable.

We probably pushed 80 inside the coach during the worst of the day, but after coming in from hiking down to the falls it felt like a very reasonable temperature. Noccalula Falls is great, especially if you have kids. The falls are a great natural attraction and the hike down and behind the falls is beautiful. The petting zoo is nice, as is the little 1/4 scale train you ride around. Pioneer Village actually has authentic pioneer homesteads that were moved in from somewhere in TN. Best of all, getting in is only $6 per person per day. Very reasonable for the entertainment value.

The coach ran well despite the heat. No new issues cropped up though I do still need to get the dash air fixed. Have a lot of slack in my shifter cable. Anyone have a solution for that problem short of taking apart the steering column and figuring out how to replace it? Otherwise a great weekend trip, although I think our trip in August will need to be to DeSoto Caverns or somewhere else with some indoor attractions. This heat wave and outdoor activities boiled my wife and 9 month old daughter a little too much to be completely enjoyable.
