Hello, Betsy!
My deepest condolences again on your loss. ❤️
I look forward to reports on your experiences with Matilda, and your journeys on the Rainbow. Your nephew must love his Aunt Betsy much to provide such fine help.
Happy Trails!!!

I totally agree with Marty... As I read the list, i kept thinking, oh that is great, then on and on... I am agreeing with Papa Steve, less is more.... While Annie did a spectacular job with decorations, No one want to take that job over.... I also agree with a registration fee to cover incidentals.... I anjoyes the band, but the people is what I came for.... I would come without a band...
And we will try our best to get to wherever.
Now GOOD MORNING pups had me up and out at 6:30 am.....

My dad, rest his soul, was born in Tupper Lake, NY. As a child we would go there every summer to visit relatives and have a two week vacation. We were there a couple years ago and stayed at the Little Wolf RV park in Tupper. Quaint little place that just barely had room for the 40 footer. Most everyhthing in there was a little TT and they marveled at how big our MH is.

Oh Betsy, I am so sorry that you are now widowed. Hang in there! I've been a solo female full-time RVer for 3 years now. It takes longer to do everything because you must do 2 jobs.
You and Matilda will find your groove and never hesitate to ask the mutants for help. Do, though, be weary of strangers trying to help you back into campground spaces. They won't know your rig like you do.
As a whole, I've found RVers to be the friendliest and most generous bunch. Enjoy those camp fires!

I don't know. My Platinum F150 4x4 is pretty cushy! Nicest vehicle I have ever owned. I love the electric fold out running boards!
It's really quiet, smooth ride, has every option available and can do virtually everything I need. I haven't needed to do any rock climbing though.

Many do not need to go rock climbing, and that is just fine!
Some of us simply require rocks, plus a bit of dust. 😚 YMMV
A bacon snack too, of course! 😜 Thanks to Jeff and Marcia.
We DO bring Rocky, of course. Many relatives for him to talk to!
