Been awhile. A lot of water under the bridge, but we are still here. Sold the Airstream and after a couple of years we've purchased a 2018 Lance, model 1995 and we are in love again. We had it out in the spring to Big Bend (gee, I love Big Bend) and took it to Wisconsin in July to the EAA Airventure. Great trip. Spent the first night out at a KOA outside of St. Louis for 2 nights and then on to Fon du Lac, WI. 4 nights at the Breezyhill Campground. Great campground for families and older travelers as well. I'd do that one again. On the return trip we stayed at another KOA that was the worst ever. Can't even remember where we were, but the train whistles were all night long. YUK! <br />

When we left Tunica, MS, we thought we would overnight and move on to Grapevine, but our plans were changed when we were not able to check into The Vineyards early. Next time when we leave I'm making a reservation to return before we depart. <br />
<br />
We did find Catherine's Landing and it is a great place. Its only about a year old, but very well run and clean. I'd give it a 9 out of 10 - only because the doors on the bathroom stalls don't lock!!!!!!!! Who's idea was that?<br />
<br />
All the spaces are level and a lot are pull-thrus. The wi-fi is free and very easy to use - you don't have to sign up - just log in and go. There's a great pavillion just across the road from our site and it is filled with picnic tables. The best part is the shade and the huge ceiling fans. <br />
<br />
We've ridden the trike several times out into the national park. We found the RC field. Its not very busy. There's no electricity to recharge batteries, but the runway is paved. No hobby shop in town so we drove to Little Rock one day, but it didn't have everything Gerry wanted, so we ordered it online. <br />
<br />
Today is Sunday after July 4 and most everyone has left. Lots of dogs (why do people bring their dogs camping and then leave them all day in a cage while they go out on the lake?). We'll be here one more week and then FINALLY its home to Grapevine for 3 months.<br />

After spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in Grapevine, we finished up our taxes and doctor visits and left home again. We had a great time being so close to Geremy, Tiffany, Lola and Delia. Gerry spent a lot of time at the 114th RC Aero Squadron field in Grapevine. He and John spent time building and crashing and re-building airplanes. <br />
<br />
We stayed long enough to see Geremy compete in three bicycle races. One was in Wylie where he placed 3rd in his category. The two races in Cedar Hill State Park were Category 4 and 5 combined so its hard to tell how he finished if it had been just a Category 5 race, but we think he might have won that one if it had been a strickly Category 5. <br />
<br />
We left on Monday, February 11 and were in rain before we hit the Louisiana state line. And rain it do for the next 2 days. Lots of rain. We got on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Natchez and drove about 100 miles before we made a decision to head towards Huntsville, Alabama to the US Space and Rocket Center. Spent 2 nights at their campground and toured the center. Interesting, but overpriced. And it was cold - still.<br />
<br />
We needed to warm up! Headed south towards the coast. Finally landed in Pensacola and toured the Naval Aviation Museum on the Navy Base. This was much more fun than Huntsville. And the price was right - FREE! We spent our money on one of their IMAX movies about the Blue Angels. <br />
<br />
Its hard to make reservations at places you know nothing about. I erred in making one for 2 nights just north of Tampa. Its a jungle out there! We were not comfortable in a jungle environment. It was on a river which was great, but that was all it had going for it. We had very very little cell coverage. You had to be right on the river to pick up anything. <br />
<br />
We are not south of Tampa in Ruskin, Florida. A great little campground. A lot of winter campers and some living full time here. A bit crowded for our taste, but we are very close to a new RC field where Gerry can fly for the week while I am gone to Surprise.<br />

We attended the Reno Air Races on Thursday. Our tickets were bought on line, but I don't know if I'd do that again. Geremy was able to print them and then fax them to the RV campground office. We did buy the Chairman's Hospitality Tent tickets which included lunch and a seat in the shade. We were able to come and go throughout the day, which let us wander the vendor tents and visit with the 99s in their tent. Pit passes allowed us to go into the hangar area and see the racers up close. There was a lot of "down time" between the races, but other than that, we had a great day. We took the advice of the website and road the bus from one of the casinos, so we didn't have to drive and park in the dirt lot, and figure out out to get there. This was truly the way to go to the races.Trike & Streamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09170375380022146382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781868145861598466.post-38779104264121390492012-09-15T20:23:00.000-07:002012-09-15T20:23:57.428-07:00Virginia City, NV<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"The Long and Winding Road" would be another good title for this trip today. We rode the trike to Virginia City. About 37 miles one way. Nice ride on twisting, climbing road. We walked down one side of the street and back up the other. Lots of touristy stores and bars. The views were spectacular!

Taken from the early days of aviation. I bought this book about 3 years ago in anticipation of retirement. I had been reading on the Kindle so when Gerry tool over my Kindle, I picked up the book. Good read and some cool pics.

We spent the last 3 nights at 7 Feathers rv resort in Canyonville, Oregon. Very nice with an indoor pool and hot tub. <br />

We took a 2 hour boat tour on the Discovery. Saw gray whales just outside of the harbor. A first for us. The boat ride was cold and the day was foggy. We had clam chowder in town and then came back to the trailer to get ready to leave in the morning. Headed to Canyonville tomorrow. I can't believe this is August and we are wearing jackets and sweatshirts and sleeping under 2 blankets. <br />
