Bushman, I have friends in North Carolina right now. They are thoroughly enjoying it.

I learned long ago, if I really want to go, I go. If I waited to team up with someone else, I could wait quite awhile. & break downs are so far between, that well, you get help when you need it. I've gotten an Emergency Road Service and I've gotten the cell phone. The advice I got on that was to make sure to get ERS that was for RVing. I tested for living here in Newfoundland. Some, ie. CAA, did not measure up. We each have to do our own checks on that. But with those, in hand I head out and enjoy.

If your puppy will be of fair size, he or she will also give you security.

I hope you have a good trip.

Hi Little Kopit;I am not to worried about going alone at all.Just thought it would be nice to have a few to travel with.The puppy I was leaving home is the tag trailer I pull in behind the 5er I have no dog just the Ferret Miss.Molley the wifes baby and I think She is great fun also.I have the trailer in a pole barn now and no way to get it out till the ground freezes up.So mutch rain,now the mud thats why the wait till things firm up.So see We are between a rock and a soft place,Real soft,Muddy..LOL I wanted to leave before Xmas but the boss needed the Grand Kids for Xmas.As it would not have been the same..A woman thing I think..LOL...Any way Happy New Years Your way ..And if any others going away We are still looking to tag up..Mud is the hold up that's all...Bushman Eh.

We have friends who will be leaving about the same time, around the first week of Feb. They are from Belleville and they have a 5er. They are headed to Fl.

We hope to head southwest the first week of Feb after a couple of days in Cinci for a 50th wedding anniversary. Been looking at Tx ,Arizona, and maybe Nevada....just for a month as we have to be back early March. Sure wish this gray weather would break!!!I'd ALMOST prefer some of that white stuff!

Here's hoping the weather holds for you Grovite. I've never towed our 5th in the snow. I here it can be a challange? Have you towed in the snow before?

We are heading South on Jan.17/06 headed for Vero Beach where we are participating in a Habitat for Humanity RV Care A Vanner project. Will also spend 4 weeks at Hilton Head.

I have done it a couple of times....fortunately on lightly travelled roads and for 50 miles or less. The 4 wheel drive makes a huge difference to stability but the thought of stopping suddenly is not a pleasant one. My choice would be to pull off and stay overnight at a motel!
