RE: Where are we 2014?
Ok to you Jim. Here's one I bet you don't know.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/114thcobra/DSCN7654nm_zps161305b3.png width=640
OK, I have to admit that I have not traveled a lot of northern NM.
I give up :E I had to do a double take when I saw who posted this :B Are you sure you don't know, or are you just being kind to the rest of us? :B
RE: MH pressure gauge in dollar store
$20 at a dollar store...interesting :) :) :) Shouldn't they be a dollar at the dollar store?
$3 at Dollar Store
Matt B
I see I misread...thanks!
When I was growing up, we bought candy and stuff at the "dime store." I guess the "dollar store" is due to inflation :)As far as I know, the only "Dollar" store where everything is a dollar is, Dollar Tree, at Dollar General & Family Dollar that's not the case.
RE: Are there many like this?
Absolutely NO ONE on here started as a "know it all", we all started as newbies, anyone who says they knew it all when they started, is either a liar or a BS'er, (or both).
I would venture to say that 95% on here are helpful & fairly nice, you'll meet the grumps no matter where you go or what you do, I just ignore them.
As far as the "smart alecks" making fun of your backing ability, I doubt they did any better when they first started, in general though, I think you'll find more of us out there that are ready & willing to help you learn, whether , guiding you back, or actually doing it for you, when you become super frustrated & your face turns beet red.
As far as fixing the engine of your truck, not everyone is mechanically inclined, I can get by, have pulled many engines, rebuilt some, replaced almost every part on an engine, but with the electronics on todays engines, I don't even try.
The main point is, don't be afraid to ask, thank the helpful, ignore rude, smart alecks. ;)
RE: Quartzsite Video
Thanks for posting!
I've heard lots about it but you finally put a face on it for me to relate to.
regards-
C-dadX-2, always wondered what all the hubbub was about, now I know it's someplace I have no interest in going to. Nice video though.
RE: Square Footage Of Your Sites?
Have never actually looked at sq. footage, as long as it's big enough for me to get my MH into it'll work, although we do like the NF cg's better as they usually have more distance between them.
RE: Pondering Interstate Highways
The 3 digit spur and loop numbers are reused quite a bit.
I580 to Carson City NV is one of the newest pieces of Interstate (it was completed in the last year or 2).True, there are no less than 6, I-295's on the eastern seaboard alone, from Jacksonville Fla. to Portland, Me.
RE: Pondering Interstate Highways
One other interesting tidbit, regarding "split" interstates...
There's I-76 in Pennsylvania - The Bicentennial State
There's I-76 in Colorado - The Centennial State.Good catch, I-76 in the east, starts near Camden, NJ (just across the river from S. Philly) & runs to the jct with I-71, just west of Akron, Oh.
The western version of I-76 starts at the jct with I-80 in NE & runs to downtown Denver, (Arvada to be more precise).
Cumberland Head-Grand Isle Ferry
The Cumberland Head-Grand Isle ferry from Grand Isle VT. to Cumberland Head NY, is it large enough for a 30' MH with toad, or would I need to follow US 2 all the way up to Rouses Point? :h
RE: Pondering Interstate Highways
Wow, thanks guys, I fully expected to just get blown off or reviled with "do a search", but y'all came through with a wealth of interstate information, which believe it or not, I find quite interesting. :)
Pondering Interstate Highways
I thought I basically had the interstate numbering system figured out, but I wasn't aware that you could have 2 highways with the same number in different parts of the country.
An example, I-84 starts at a jct with I-5 in Portland Oregon & runs easterly to a jct with I-80 east of Salt Lake city & apparently ending.
Then there is I-84 that appears to start at a jct with I-81 in Scranton, PA & travels east to a jct wih I-90 in MA & ends again.
It just made me go hmmm, as there are 2 ends & no apparent middle section of this Interstate highway, unlike I-80 which starts in San Francisco & runs continuously eastward (occasionally merging with other interstate hgwys)to a jct with I-95 near Hackensack, NJ., or I-90 which starts in Boston & runs westward, again continuously, all the way to downtown Seattle.
This is probably of no great concern in the scheme of life, but just made me wonder why. :@
PS:
I know about by-passes being numbered the same in different areas.
RE: Not For The Faint of Heart
That was the most pathetic "bashing post" of a CG I have ever heard. The place gets great reviews for a reason. A squirrel?, really? Hills in the mountains? Gee whiz! People actually awake at 10 pm EST? Unheard of!X-2, although I've seen great CG's bashed because it rained for 3 days of their stay, how dare a CG allow it to rain for 3 days. :S
RE: Cushioned covers for picnic table bench
ClickyMaybe it's just me, but I thought the OP was looking for "Cushioned" bench seat covers, those don't look like cushions.
RE: camping at National Parks
If you qualify, get yourself a Senior Pass. Discounts on your stay.
Yes, we qualify and will be getting a senior pass:)Best $10 you'll ever spend, it was for me, only time I've been glad to be old. :B
RE: Regional Weirdness Examples
Is it true folks don't BBQ in the lower 48 when its below zero?
