First long trip

We have owned our Foretravel for 8 years, but due to work, had never taken a trip longer than 2 weeks, or 1000 miles. Now that we are retired, we just took a month long trip to New England, and Pennsylvania Dutch country. Our 19 year old coach ran flawlessly. Also, the residential fridge I recently installed didn't fall out of the cabinet despite some of the most horrible interstates we've ever traveled on. I think the spare tire cover on our Jeep sums up our philosophy.

Sounds as if it was a great trip. It was undoubtedly the first of many!

Who took the photos?  Did you have a national news crew following you, recording the historic event?  :))

cajk; our SOB friends were following us, and the DW is always taking pictures. Poor folks, they had many problems on the trip.
