Our destination on this trip was the “Wanderlodge Owner’s Group” (WOG) Rally in Pine Mountain Georgia. This is definitely FUN. Meeting nice people. Seeing all manner of coaches from older and much more ragged than ours to gleaming hot rods.(There…
Immutable Law(s) of Vintage Diesel RV Ownership (and life)
We are learning a lot as with travel with our RV. Some of the lessons can be narrowly interpreted as engine and RV-related. Most have broader application. We’ll list them hereunder…
Road Trip #1 Part 2 (Revelations)
We have traveled as far as Frankfort Kentucky. It is here we learned an apparently immutable law of the universe: Here is our evidence; see if you agree. Last spring, we watched Blackhawks Playoff Hockey at BWW in Seymore Indiana. …
Oooops. Every trip has one (Apparently)
OOOOppps. Clearly, every trip is gonna have one. Sometimes it may relate to the bus itself. Sometimes to the accoutrements. On this particular sojourn, a couple already. Ooops #1. The VERY FIRST toll booth (on the Chicago Skyway) would not…
