It is true that I do tend to overthink things.
A tall stick over my head has worked at times while trying to figure out if I have cleared the driveway enough or if more branches need to go. It is on a slope so learning to eyeball is not always true. Using a ladder to get into the bucket of the John Deere is not the easiest and then back down to move it one way or another so I can reach or try to.
This has not been about bridges or highway or developed RV parks - but for those times where you are stopping in an unusual place whose branches might or not be quite right. I have tried using a tape measure but they keep folding before they get tall enough. Stick is fine here - just not to travel with. The back up camera works fine for judging backing up. No doubt when I can travel more often I'll get a feel for the height and worry less in those rare occasions. Also practice that GOAL that I Have been known to do anyway. DH means well, but is more confusing than helpful then not happy with me. He needs to go find something else to do while I park. We were supposed to go see his kids, the RV center couldn't get to me for several weeks so I ended up doing a lot of the repairs myself. All the moving around here I've gotten into the habit of moving it while he is still in the house. grin. But his health slipped again so no trip for awhile I guess. It's all good. Things I need to know as I plan to travel a bunch in the future when it is just me and the dogs. Boy scout be prepared.
Thanks
