So how was the Gettysburg bluegrass festival. Was whe weather good. Also wondering how the camper did after you had the new bushing upgrade to the leaf springs. I hope you had fun and all went well...

The Bluegrass Festival was great. Lots of bands, most were good, some were
great...some were just getting started, and one or two might think about a different
line of work. We got there early enough, Sunday before last, to get some good seats -
second row just off center stage. The only downside was the heat. However, they
provide a big tent for rainy days, and it provided shade on the bad days. Had a great
time. Here's the lineup:

I couldn't tell any difference in the way the trailer towed, but the new 'wet bolt'
suspension should last much longer than the dry bolts would have. The rig is in
pretty good shape now, new tires all around and the work on the suspension system
along with wheel bearing repacking and brake adjustment.

The nice thing is that I didn't break anything this trip!

We're on our way back to Gettysburg with our Good Sam group tomorrow. No music, but
we're planning on one of those tour bus trips through the battlefield. Should be
interesting.
