RE: Brown County Indiana State Park is closed temporarily
We barely got off our site at Bean Blossom Sunday because of the wet grounds. Loved our stay in Brown County.

RE: Elkhart to Out West
Why yes we have chatted in the past. Appreciated your help back then and now. We sold the water property a few years ago and are full timers with a base camp in Hickory, NC. This trip is 2 weeks inCO Springs to see son and then around 1 July mosey around Wyoming, Montana, Dakotas, etc etc. Nothing detailed planned, just notions. We change our minds at the last minute so schedules don't work for us. We do have to be back in VA in mid August so that is only data point.
Thanks for the shout out! Steve

RE: Elkhart to Out West
Thanks all! Great help and advice. 36 it is and looking forward to it and no interstates.
Suggestions on stops to make along 36? It seems Springfield and Lincoln stuff is worth a few days. Others? I have Prairie Dog SP in the plan.

RE: Elkhart to Out West
Fantastic ideas folks. Just what looking for. From RV Trip Wizard it would appear that there campgrounds along 36 or at least close. Thanks!

Elkhart to Out West
Touring Fleetwood next week then out west for the summer.
Best route from Elkhart towards Colorado Springs? We prefer back roads when it makes sense. 90/80 probably only option West of ELkhart?

RE: Travelling across the good ole USA
Consider taking US2 east from Spokane rather than the interstates.
Ohhh. We hate Interstates and try to do back roads whenever. Is 2 ok for a 40' DP towing a car? We're in no hurry. Thanks.

RE: Linville Falls, NC to Fancy Gap, VA
One more idea if you don't want to go back to Statesville on 40. Get back on 40 and get off in Hickory on to US 321 (4 lane). In Lenoir get on NC 18 and take it to 421 then 77. 18 is a great 2 lane road through the country side. When we need to get on 77 north, this is the route we take in our 40' DP, towing.

RE: Linville Falls, NC to Fancy Gap, VA
421 to 77 FROM BOONE is a great road 4 lanes most/all the way. No issues at all. Done it several times and live nearby. BUT, it would be very difficult to get to Boone from Linville in a big rig. Think you have to go back to 40.
Where you staying in Linville? Didn't know there was anything big rig friendly.

RE: Better in Asheville NC, Wilsons or Bear Creek?
I can't compare because never stayed at Wilson's but we like Bear Creek. Noise is not an issue. I don't think I ever heard interstate noise. BTW, Moose Cafe just up the road from it is awesome. We also enjoy the farmer's market.

RE: Starke Fla & 301
Nice prison in Starke ! Try to make your visit short !
Back in the day, folks in Jacksonville claimed lights dimmed when Ole Sparky dispatched another miscreant at Raiford (the prison).

RE: Starke Fla & 301
Came through a few hours ago. It was congested at the 2 places where the bypass will connect but no big deal. Starke itself was congested, as always. Maybe 10 min more, if that. Thanks for the inputs.

Thanks all. Great info. Starke has always been slow so the bypass will be nice when finished.

Starke Fla & 301
Google Maps insists I bypass Starke FL on 301 tomorrow (25 April) presumably because of construction. Can't find any news on this on the Web. Anyone know?

RE: DirecTV
Happens to us all the time since the roll out of the "new" interface. Recorded programs will be there one minute and the next they are gone. Have to reset to get them back. Deleting a program throws you back somewhere obscure in the List.
They may have fixed this. Noticed a difference in screen graphics last week and just realized that the loss of programs and weird navigation hasn't happened in a week...it used to happen every day or so. Fingers crossed.

RE: I Wish I Could Be In Patzcuaro Dec 12
We loved Rancho la Mesa in 2016. Maybe our favorite place on that trip. Beautiful views. The restaurant was fantastic. Getting in/out in a 35' motorhome was an experience but not a biggie. Don't know how it is now. By car it was easy using the main highway or through town.

RE: 1st time I've seen only 1 page of new topics...
From Uncle Bob's post above: "I cannot count how many times a newbie asks a simple question, one that some members call stupid. But it isn't stupid to the newbie, it's a genuine issue they need resolved! Who cares if 99% of us all know the answer? He doesn't! So I always try to answer factually, even though I've answered the same question countless times before."
Amen. There's one chap that always responds with do a search and even lists the results of his search instead of just answering the question. Guess he's hasn't thought that a newbie might not know the terminology to do a search.
Wonder if those folks are that rude in person or only when they are in their jammies in the basement?

RE: Dometic or residential refrigerator?
We dry camp a lot. Changed out our Dometic with a Samsung 18 cu ft residential a few months ago. Awesome. No more constant defrosting and lots of room for stuff. Sorry we didn't do this earlier.

RE: Trip Planning software for PCs is extinct
I used this for our last trip and it worked great. Tell it how far/long you want a travel day to be and it draws a circle around a stop at that distance. Look for parks at the edge of the circle. Links directly to RV Park Reviews.
Another vote for RVTripWizard.

RE: Cell booster - what is there besides WeBoost/Wilson
Hope this relates in part to the OP's question. Keep wanting to buy the weboost 4gx-RV but I've read that the indoor antenna only has a range of about 5 feet. That would mean that we could not use our phones sitting comfortably in our chairs in the living room due to where the antenna would normally be placed. Anyone that has one care to comment on this? Tnx.
