As of 12/1/2021, a major update of the forum software was accomplished
Update: 4/20/2024: The Eagles email account at GoDaddy no longer works. I have set up a gmail account as a workaround: eaglesinternational.email@gmail.com (This link seems to work for my outlook email, but may not work for other email platforms. If it does not load, copy and paste the link in your platform.)
Update: 4/27/2024: I am getting some SQL error pages as I click on different areas of our forum. Using the back arrow and hitting the link again usually loads the page. I will wait for a day or two before I have GoDaddy look into the problem.
update 4/28/2024 Worked on problem and crashed both the website and forum. Have now restored and will work on it in a day or two

So Cal Heat. . .
Well, we made a trip to Porterville, CA from Riverside, CA for Cindy's birthday (big family party at mom-in-law's house), and it was 105 degrees outside on the way back. For those of you familiar with California, I rolled up the Grapevine at about 20 MPH to hold the temp at 190. . . we had 10 souls on board and we made it back in one piece. We ran one 15K BTU roof air/heat pump, and that kept the inside temp at about 95 degrees with the sun blasting in the front window. I was hoping a little cooler for the inside, but I'm just happy to have climbed the rock without hatching the motor. As we were making the climb, there were about half-a-dozen trucks and a dozen-or-so cars overheated off the side in the 9-10 mile climb, so I don't feel too bad. Of coure I didn't pass anybody on the uphill swing, but even the heavy trucks weren't making much progress over the hill.

Re: So Cal Heat. . .
Every time I went up that hill I always thought of "What If". Fortunately it was never during the "Hot Days of Summer". I had visions of being stranded, belching steam and some pretty ugly thoughts. Never did it in Dreamscape, so I can't say what would happen. I do know this, I'll never climb it in the heat of summer in the Eagle!
