I am glad you do not charge by the hour for all the time I spend on here

or for the enjoyment I get from the Forum, my piggy bank would be empty.

Thanks for all the work,

Thanks Michelle, the ride would not have been the same without you folks, maybe not even possible.  We owe you big time for creating a gathering place for our community and the community itself.

M & S,

If we had realized I would have supplied the wine, opened it, and served today.
THANKS for all you do.

I've been on forums since the early days with bulletin boards, listservs and usenet. This site remains the best thanks to Steve and Michelle, good moderators and a reasonably well behaved bunch of users.

Michelle and Steve.

Your efforts have provided such a wonderful experience for so many. We have met wonderful folks here on the Forum and in campsites/driveways because of your care and efforts. These coaches and their owners make them as much fun as you can have in most states/provinces.

When you took the site down for maintenance recently, I reminded myself how much I enjoy this place around the clock and around North America. Cheers! Floor it. Paul

As I think about the forum and the transition from the Yahoo group I remember being skeptical that it would ever work.  I didn't see how anything could be better than the Yahoo group. 

I feel a little like an old oil man man in our church many years ago when the church was about to take on a new project.  He was usually quiet and often a little negative.  He made his way to the front of the church and began his remarks by saying "this church has done a lot of great things over the years and I was agin most of them...."
