Keeping my eye on what is happening in the Orlando area. So far only storm damage has been leaves & twigs. I've still got a few weeks before I'm supposed to get there, so will see what happens. Back-up plan in case the state turns into a total disaster, perhaps Texas for the winter.

Yes, another storm brewing down there now.
SIL said the same thing yesterday about gas milage. He just bought a newer Dodge RAM 2200 with gas engine. Said he gets 3-4 MPG in the city but was hitting 13-14 towing the trailer on the highway! They were camped out at TT Indian Lakes in Batesville, IN this weekend. That CG has around 800 sites, and there is a KOA in the middle of it!

I'm going to be well East of any of the Hurricane damaged area's! Mostly running straight down I-95 along the coast. However, Hurricane season isn't exactly over yet either, I'll be keeping a weather eye on things!

Truck towed pretty well so far, just not liking the idea that I'm back to a gas truck. Got only 6.12 mpg on this trip so far. Will see if slowing it down 5 mph will be of any benefit. Miss my Duramax Diesel's 11mpg towing mileage!

Keep us updated on your trip south. Hope this dang hurricane didn't wreck any of the roads there.

The first leg of my south bound journey starts tomorrow. I worked my last shift at the campground yesterday, and will leave Maine tomorrow morning, going to stop at TT in Sturbridge Mass for a few weeks, before moving on to Virginia. I hope to at least keep the Rubber side down this time!!

That's funny. Well trained dog though.
Our dog is like a teenager, listens when he wants to.

The Campfire / Speaking of dogs.....

Anyone who likes dogs should enjoy this!

I was watching the Boise State U vs Washington State U football game yesterday.  It was at Boise State and after a  kickoff a dog in a Boise State jersey ran out on the field to retrieve the kicking tee. 

Here's the whole story (you'll have to copy & paste the link)

Decided to stop by the RV place today. Not really looking to buy one, but........

You know Tim, that's about as dangerous as going to look at a puppy at the animal shelter "just to look....".  But it looks like you're already familiar with the process!   

Nice looking dog!  He's got the right idea for how to go camping.

It's Home! SIL towed it home for us yesterday, it's parked it in the driveway. We slept in it last night, the traffic noise didn't bother me like in the pup. Our dog wasn't sure at first, but he settled in. Once this rain decides to quit I got lots of things to check out.

Nice!  Big windows    & lots of storage!   Nice bonus getting a year of Thousand Trails for free.  That's a great way to try it out and see how you like it.   Keep on your SIL's good side
