gramps, I remember when, back in the early 70's (1971 to be exact) I bought my first camper, and joined Good Sam. Back then being a Good Sammer ment something, and when we went camping, would always search out other "Sammers".
Remember the Wally Baumn Caravans? Always wanted to go on one of his River Barge Camping Cruises.
Now, it's just become a gimmick.
And, I lived in South Fla., and can remember when the first CW opened in Orlando, Fla. Huge store, plenty of knowledgable and helpful people. Always looked forward to heading north on the Fla Turnpike and making a detour to stop there.
Now, won't even stop even if I pass right by one.
This year my GS expires, and won't be re-upping.
Sad, at one time they were the best.
