So we started this trip the end of March 2015. Having a great time.
We have had a TC for a long time. Got this 996 just over a year ago. Never did a extended trip like this.
Have learned some new tricks. Guess old dogs can learn new ones.

Here is what we got so far. First blog also.
Trying to post all depends on the wi-fi. Its hit and miss.

Enjoyed the tour. Nice to see some areas we still have on our travel bucket list. Have been to the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson. Sat in the saddles (2 different days) enjoyed some lunch and beverages. Love the woodwork. Great photos of your journey.

What's a TC.....996???? Love it when people know what they're talking about and expect everyone else to also know.

Thanks


TC = Truck Camper. Taller than your Class B, but pretty similar in the go anywhere options compared to other RV types.

A click on the OP's profile shows an AF 996, so I made an educated guess the AF stands for Arctic Fox. A Google search offered up photos and images of the floorplan for that type of camper.

I read the whole blog. Sounds like a good trip and great photos. I use to have a camper before our 5th wheel and love the fact you can bring them almost anyway.

Well we made it. Got the blog all updated with stops, miles, etc. Was nice to get home, but alas, heading out to the Nascar Race at Sears Point for 5 days. Should be fun.

If any of the info from the trip helps, or if you have any questions, drop a line.

Take care

Why is it necessary to use such language?? You sound like an educated
person so why use gutter language?? Just saying..........


I apologize if the commentary offended you. Just went through and cleaned it up. Even the DW said I dont need to use bar room talk. Point taken.
