campsite photos
We made reservations on Skidaway Island a few days ago, based on a photo from CampsitePhotos.com. The photo and description showed 50 amp and a 50 foot site.
Photos sometimes don't depict the truth. We are here now and the site is big enough for the rig and the jeep. No fifty amp and what appeared to be asphalt is dirt. No gravel, just gray/black dirt. Hope it does not rain. The road inside the CG is VERY narrow and one must be very conscious of where your wheels are while watching for low limbs and leaning trees.
Not complaining about the site - it is so much better than many places we have stayed that look like parking lots with hookups. I am disappointed in the website that mislead me. I have told several people how great and easy it was to see what you are getting. Looks like is bought a "pig in a poke", but in this case the bacon is pretty good. If I misled any of you good people, I apologize.

RE: Who would you vote for The Heisman?
Just watched LSU beat Bama and Burrow is very good. He was very humble when that was mentioned to him. Basically said there was more season and more games to play before talking about that. I liked his atitude

RE: Having a SENIOR moment
"Next we have the person that thinks you will move over for him as he enters the freeway........ wrong not moving because I have a semi passing on the right."
I am trying to visualize this and just can't picture it. So, are you saying "the person" is entering the freeway from left? If you are in the right lane, and the person is entering like most interstate on ramps are set up (from the left) then you might try to work with the guy. How does a semi on your RIGHT figure into this ? Wouldn't you be changing lanes to your left?
Explain??

RE: Lightning Protection
Chances are if you stabilizers are down the more direct path will be to ground through them - or on the neutral on the power supply coming into the RV. Jacks up and the MH is pretty much on rubber.

RE: South Dakota, July 2020
Spearfish Canyon, Lead, Deadwood, Ice Box Canyon - need to be added to your list.
City of Spearfish has a very nice CG but it might be a bit far north to use as a base camp for the Black Hills visit

RE: Southeast Massachusetts to Nashville TN
Having been hung up in NYC traffic on some very bad local advice, I might find a way west(I-84 maybe??) above the City and then head south on I-81.
We have traffic in Atlanta, but NYC has TRAFFIC!

Yellowstone RV Park is right on the river and a lot of workers for the contract vendors stay there. THe river should be flowing strong in June with the snow melt high up. Not familiar with yellowstone edge

RE: Trouble with California
You're kidding me right? You let the government violate your rights on awhim?
I have nothing to hide either but in 68 years of life I know the government is not my friend! That sovergn citizen **** does not have a thing to do with it either.
What expectation of privacy on the outside of the RV?

RE: Route I85
I expect you have other stops you intend to make from Montgomery to Myrtle Beach ?
The trip from Montgomery to I-20 and then up to MB is a circuitous route.

Wow, macho makes me dizzy.
Almost as much as a long line of cars and trucks behind a slow moving RV negotiating switchbacks and narrow shoulders on mountain roads

RE: On Call for Work While Camping
" Anyone else here had to be on call while camping and did it affect your routine?"
In another life, I had on-call every third week and in the event of a major crime I was called regardless. We didn't have the ability to go camping unless it was a spontaneous 'let's go to the mountains' thing. Even then I was subject to "get back to the office ASAP".
Miserable existence when the phone rings at 2AM and you know someone is having a much worse day than you are about to have. I got out early before the ole ticker quit on me. Never looked back. Worked P/T, taking only jobs I wanted to do and none that involved dead bodies or people bleeding. ;) ;)

RE: BEST ROUTE WITH LEAST MOUNTAINS
90 to Buffalo and then hiway 16 you hit mountains as you cross the Big Horns to Cody. By then you will be an old hand at towing and have no problems coming into Yellowstone via Sylvan Pass.
Take your time and think about what you are doing. Mind your speed going down hill, because the chances are small you will go straight back up the other side (there will be a curve or two somewhere ahead.

RE: Grand Canyon (South Rim) to Sedona in 2020
We made the mistake of taking 89 from Sedona to Flagstaff. We have a friend with property in Sedona and were visiting there as we came across country from Houston. Being basically lazy I decided it would be a time saver to just head up 89 rather than cut back to 17. 36 ft DP This was a trip we decided to rent a toad rather than tow. Than goodness we were not towing in some of the hairpin turns. We made it but it was not a fun trip

RE: Almost lost a mud flap...
Warning! Drilling is not hard, but it will heat a bit to the point it can not be sharpened. I ground a dull point on a piece of half inch all-thread about a foot long, put a piece of PCV pipe between nuts on the other end. Lay the flap on 2Xs with a gap where you want the hole. Heat the point, and shove it thru the flap, nice round hole for the 3/8 bolt.
What? Synthetic rubber hard enough to heat and ruin a drill bit? Really?

RV park near Tampa Busch Gardens
We have visited there a couple of times over several years and frankly I was not confident with the area the attraction is in. I would not be comfortable leaving our rig there for a day trip to Busch Gardens.
(Trying to be politically correct here) Where have any of you guys stayed in the area that you felt confident in the security?
Thanks
