El Tigre is now officially a South Dakota resident. We paid sales tax and got it titled and registered, all for a few hundred dollars. The "Great Faces, Great Places" state makes if very easy for full-time RVers to give them money. Admittedly, we slipped a few notches down the cool factor scale by getting rid of the old Colorado plates.

After we picked the truck up in Pagosa Springs, and visited our friends in Denver, we drove to Scott's brother's house (Skip and Amy) in Indiana. Here, we started the laborious process of making El Tigre "our home". Skip spent countless hours refacing our kitchen cabinets and making new drawers and doors.

Along with all the interior work, Scott ordered $1500 in auto parts that were delivered to my parent's house. He's working on making El Tigre a lean, mean, cool machine. He's also becoming an expert on the mechanics of the GM 6.5 L diesel engine -- at least I hope so, as the drive shaft, radiator, water pump, oil cooler, and fan clutch, all of which are sitting in my Dad's barn, probably need to go back in.
