Today we fought high winds all the way along I-40 and are SO glad to be safely in Santa Fe tonight.

I imagine driving an RV is hard especially in high winds, we have a Motability van for my stepson who is disabled and it can be hair-raising at times and I imagine it's not as big as your vehicle, after all we can't live in it.<br /><br />It's great to always be learning I think, I'm certainly picking up lots of things in the A-Z!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-74101433616106833462012-04-13T13:01:37.994-07:002012-04-13T13:01:37.994-07:00Melissa, today we were driving from Brevard, NC to...Melissa, today we were driving from Brevard, NC to Chattanooga, via hwy. 64/74. I saw so many nice RV camping places (one called River's Edge RV Resort, or something like that, was particularly nice!). Just thought of you. If you ever come to this neck of the woods, 64 is a curvy highway, but oh-so beautiful, and there seem to be may RV places to park/camp by rivers. So nice.

My DW and I have been toying with getting a "C" in as much that our house has not sold...........we have been planning on getting an Entegra Anthem and full timing.........but we are growing tired of waiting for the right buyers to come along! So maybe a "C" for awhile might work for us.<br /><br />Sounds like your DH is a lite sleeper.........which is my modus operandi, too! Guess our ancestors must have been night guards for the tribe..LOL! <br /><br />I'm afraid you have bitten off a pretty big bite....to cover so many miles so quickly..........especially as newbies. Have you bought a trucker's atlas? You will tend to get better (meaning smoother) roads if your follow routes approved for tall vehicles. And, many routes are not heavily travelled! And you don't have to worry about overhead clearance!<br /><br />Well, best wishes, and I look forward to hearing about your new adventures!<br /><br />Dennis<br /><br />PS Dinah and I are 67 & 69 respectively, so can relate to your activities!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973063941381538142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-41157474438065153912012-04-13T12:32:36.368-07:002012-04-13T12:32:36.368-07:00I know how hard it is to drive a camper van as I t...I know how hard it is to drive a camper van as I tried and gave up myself. One of the problems is the aching ankles. We had several great yerars traveling around the UK at weekends.
