I know this belongs in the mis-fires forum but there are so many grumpy people over there that I decided to put it here. Sorry about that Dave.
Hi all yall, the adventure begins. On November 23rd, in the face of an early winter storm, I started my RV adventure with a journey/shakedown trip to Tucson, my new home until April. The RV is a work in progress and had no engine-heat powered heater. However, having been brought up in the mid-west and being of Norwegian ancestry I wasnt worried about cold, thats what snow-mobile suits are for, but dang having to pull over every 10 miles or so to scrap ice off the windshield sure got old! Nonetheless I rolled into the Tucson Trap & Skeet Club RV Park at 3:00pm on Monday November 25th. After taking one day to set up my RV and get some rest, I got in my Dodge Caravan and, leaving the RV in Tucson, I drove 500 miles to LA so I could spend Thanksgiving with my daughter. I drove back to Tucson yesterday and as soon as my right knee recovers from gas pedal syndrome (probably by tomorrow) Ill begin hunting and shooting. Let the wild rumpus begin!
I plan to continue the RV renovation (Ill definitely fix the damned heater) over the next 5 months while Im in Tucson and then Ill be off, at a leisurely pace via many national parks, to Washington State (my late wife wanted her ashes scattered at a beautiful place in the PNW) followed by several months of upland hunting in eastern WA, ID, MT, and the Dakotas before I head back south.
Like the fellow shouted on his way down after jumping off a tall building SO FAR SO GOOD!!!
