We're not lost or in Saskatchewan. This is central Washington. I for one did not expect a prairie landscape. I thought it would be hilly and green with lots of trees. Wrong!

| Approaching the Columbia River. We crossed over on the bridge. |

As requested, pictures of the landing gear. There is a leg on each side of the trailer at the front. You drop the outer portion down to sit loosely. Then the legs extend or retract electrically to raise or lower the trailer. This is necessary to hitch the RV on or off the truck hitch receiver.

This leg broke inside and wouldn't move. Wayne had to jack up the trailer with an external hydraulic jack to lift the leg off the wood.

| Techs added paint so we don't move the legs beyond the usable range. Very helpful. |
This picture shows the motor and gear box reducer. The gear box reducer is the slab that the motor is mounted to. The brown rectangle was welded on by the techs in Butte. It stops the gear box reducer plate from moving. The original problem was that a stop post broke off. The motor and reducer were moving and kept blowing fuses as the legs didn't line up. No fun at all.
Wayne just checked with Camping World in Burlington. (Our destination for tomorrow) He hoped they would be able to schedule us in to replace the bad leg. No luck. They are booking appointments for two weeks from now. We will wait until Nanaimo.
