really enjoy it. We have tried out a lot of different camper types, from Class C, Class A, slide in's, pop ups, tent's, trailers. They all have something they do a little better or easier than another one, but each one is great. We have done quite a bit of RV travel. With my daughter down south in the AF, we go there a lot. We stayed there one winter at the AF base campground. The winter after that we stayed in Florida moving around from Key West up to Salt Springs and bounced between there and Rainbow Springs and Cedar Key. Needless to say, I like to hit all the beaches for metal detecting. My wife likes the Ocala area for horses and she enjoys barn hoping. We like to canoe the rives coming out of the springs also.
Charleston, SC is nice for me as I can see my daughter when ever I like plus I am close to Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, and Mrytle Beach. While there I got hooked on hunting for fossil sharks teeth also and my wife got into walking the beaches finding Sand dollars.
We did 3 months the year before last out west, Left Connecticut here, went out to Chicago, then turned north and went Via South Dakota, neat stuff in that state. I was only going to stay there a few days, ended up there over a week. We did Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse,wolly Mamonth Pits in Hot Springs, The Badlands, Black Hills, Deadhorse, Sturgis and a host of other small items like gold mines, dude ranches = horses. Jane rode up the back of Mt Rushmore on a horse and really enjoyed it.
Then played around in Wyoming, Cody at Buffalo Bills, more Fossil pits, then on to YellowStone. Awesome place....one of my favorties if you like wildlife which I do. Hit big snow storm there on June 9th. Then on to Jackson Hole, Played in the Tetons, more dude ranches, then on to Idaho.... Didn't do much in Idaho, but drive thru the southern part so can't say much about it but am told the Bitter roots are really nice.
From there on into Oregon...Nice state, some really great campgrounds,with lots of gold mines around, tailings to play in etc. My buddy lives in Hermiston, Oregon, so camped in his yard for 2 weeks and we hunted the Columbia River beaches, and Walloaw lake region....beautiful area at Walloaw. Hermiston is high plains desert, not my cup of tea....Left there and went to my other buddies in Washington...Spent 4 days till his girlfriend arrived, then we headed out with his camper and mine for another month... I'l stop for now, as that one gets crazy with many stops.
Sounds like you guys are not letting any moss grow on your tires either..Thats great.... If itwere up to me I'd be out on the highway now. My wife just finished up with eye problems, macular hole in the eye, then cateracts, new lens in other eye, but she is doing fine now, and can drive again...So we are planning now.. all the kids will be back in school after labor day so then its more fun for us....Campgrounds are empty, don't need to call ahead, and you can pick your spot. We do stop in Flying J truck stops if pushing hard to get from point A to B.
Good place to park, eat, fuel and be gone at daybreak.
Your very right aobut having your own bed, and stuff....Thats my reason behind it also... Even if it cost more, I prefer it....I sleep better and just enjoy it all more....
Here is a picture of the one we just sold....Jane didn;t like driving it.....to big in the mountains...I liked it,but we like to share driving and that one didn't allow that....
