Checking in.

I made it here safe although it was slow dragging my 5th wheel through the mountains. One thing I have noticed traveling is you can tell which states have money issues by the conditions of their roads especially the interstates. Florida has good roads the worst I have seen in a while is South Carolina which has large cracks and pot holes in the interstate. Virginia is good but I would expect that with the proximity to DC. 
I have a little quiet campground at the base of a mountain and we are the only camper beside the caretaker. There is a big chain fast food joint about 3 miles down the road where I can get the an internet connection so I will check in when I can.

  1. Enjoy your time camping. I guess you haven't travelled Oklahoma roads? There the worst!!!!

    I love pulling into a place and it's nice and quiet, and not a lot of campers or people.

  3. Senior and I can both vouch that South Carolina is the worst. Always has been, always will be....

    1. Guess someone should quit counting democrats jumping the border and get his ass up if he wanted to make a 0400 departure.

  6. What you are doing now is something I want to do someday. My wife and I talk about once she is retired we could get a nice truck/camper combination and go out West again. But what to do with the dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens and my other dependents!
