Danger is real. Fear is a choice. I rely upon God and support that with the Scout motto:  be prepared.   We owe it to ourselves to be the best prepared we personally can be.  Even so, things can still occur because predators are professionals at their perversion. That's when resilience...

Please also be careful strapping too much weight onto the back of a car, especially if it's a front wheel drive (the weight lifts the front wheels up and those are what steers the car!)

Of course I'm interested! The area for handicapped to camp needs to be larger... somehow...  IDK how...  but I really do need to be closer to the main area.  I've been to 2 RTRs and haven't caught but 1/2 of one seminar in 2 years. :C     It takes me 5 days to drive out (and another 5...

OH wow. I'm in South Florida... and Mulligan is ready to go (for life)... but I have to put house on market in a week or so... though they say I'll have offers within 24 hours... where do I find more data on this? drJean Mockingbird Educational Development Inc

AA4RO here ... eager to meet other hams at RTR and get over new station anxiety ;) drJean Mockingbird Educational Development Inc

I have the running board at my slider, but for my 86 year old friend I also add a sturdy plastic folding step for her. I suppose one could use that and put a rope on it, pull it up behind them and toss it behind the seat?

That actually looks like something I can do!    And if not me, my guest  hahahahah    AWESOME!   Thanks bunches Doug!   You're not abnorm, you should change your name to 2 cats and a Doug at least! Any idea of ITS weight? I'll be in touch for pickup. :D

The poison oak/ivy family is oil based.  You can reinfect yourself by touching any clothing with it on it.   Do not wash your tainted clothes with other clothes or it will spread to them, also be careful about your sheets, towels, etc... cloth with which you may have come into contact. A...

spaghnum moss works best... and is way cheaper than kitty litter...doesn't need changing as often... just fyi I travel a lot of rest areas and haven't had to use my marine toilet as a flush one/cassette yet.... use a bag, toss waste in the trash like I do the dog poo I pick up after doggie.

There are "black out " curtains and drapes you can buy... I have them in my current (soon to be sold?) house. I put a rod across Mulligan just behind the slider opening so I can get in and out easier, but don't have to a/c - heat the entire van while driving, just the cab and front... I hung a...

I, too, have heard of the warnings of masses of people; instead of the usual vacationers of a few hundred thousand on the road, they expect several million!  These will include those who are within 2-300 miles of total who drive to "view" it...  ... even if local LEO scare people off from...

Mulligan. He (yes, it's a he) is the second try at getting the van I wanted: the first one didn't come in as ordered, so I needed a "mulligan" (golfing term for do-over). And our travels go into "mulligan stew".

arrrgh.  Now I cannot even get the edit on the photo done to post it right ...always a page full size now. Anyway current config.  as I stated, the item to the right of the seat can be moved to the left of the seat, squaring the loveseat/guest bed up with step well / slider (I think I said wheel...

I think I will try it again, going from southern Florida. Buy your firewood in the State in which you burn it. It would be kewl imo to have a number on the name badge as to how many years you've attended (give or take)... we can write it on ourselves perhaps, so others know to be keepers? ::D...

Going to go to Asheville NC for the eclipse!   I have 3 things I can cross off my bucket list on this trip....  it was funny when I called in May and made reservations at the campgrounds (I'll also be going to 2 seminars at The Cove) he was chuckling that I wanted August, said most people call...
