USASA NATIONAL SPECIALTY 2004
PURINA FARMS * MISSOURI
April 17 - 24

Fancy and Bosha (driving) enjoyed their trip to the USASA National Specialty, April 2004,
despite a roadside breakdown.
We all waited patiently while Phil repacked wheel bearings on the travel trailer.
Lucky for us there was an Auto Zone close by!
Thank You Phil for getting us on the road again!
