Great People

Spending an extended holiday weekend on the road was fun. No doubt about it. It gave us a chance to play in our new toy, see some new sights and relax.

Most of all, we got to meet some great people.

In our newbie RVing career, we've stayed in a half dozen or so campgrounds. This weekend proved once again what we like best: meeting people.

There was the California native who walked his dog our way and asked "Don't you know you're not supposed to..." He stopped by again over the weekend to see how are "to fix" list for the dealer was growing. Surprisingly and pleasantly enough, it's quite short!

Marie and Roger were lots of fun. They pedaled by on their bikes and passed by several times admiring our coach. Finally, they stopped and stepped up to the screen door and yelled a friendly hello. They live not too far away from us and get out quite a bit in their 23-footer. They loved seeing a rig a bit bigger than their's, and we appreciated checking out their new bike rack. Most of all, we enjoyed meeting them. We look forward to seeing them again.

Paul and Shar (or Cher) were Winnie enthusiasts from way back. They recently bought a new 40-foot Tiffin, which we stopped to admire. It's gorgeous. They oogled and googled over our little 32-footer and showed us how to turn the captain's chair all the way around. (Thanks, guys!) They gave us a great recommendation for a local campground they frequent. We look forward to reconnecting with them down the road.

We're beginning to understand the real reason why we enjoy RVing. It's all about meeting really great people.
