At the end of my last installment we were asphalt camping in the Flying "J" parking lot at Cattletsburg, KY.

From there we motored on down to the Escapee Park at Raccoon Valley near Knoxville, TN. The leaves were turning and it was a very colorful trip. Unfortunately, it is not advisable to take pictures while driving a 22,000 Lb. RV pulling a car. So you will just have to use your imagination.…

Rolled into the Air Force Academy RV Park that eve.

Arrived at a nice RV park in downtown Independence, MO Fri eve. It was raining Fri. morning while I was hooking up the car and getting things ready to leave Scott AFB and St. Louis. Drove most of the day with very little rain falling. Then when I got to the RV Park and started to unhook and set up, it started to rain again. It would rain for a short period and stop. I would go out and start to set up and it would start again. Finely just went ahead and got wet. As soon as I finished setting…

wow!!! It's been awhile. Almost three Months. We were in Georgetown, TX when I wrote "OTRA 28" in June.

A lot has happened since. However, I spent most of the summer either on the farm where I have trouble getting on the internet; or engaged in adventures that left no time for posting blogs. And, during this summer tbd seems to have lost most of it's core transferees from the old tbd to the new MyAtlantis or other social networking sites. Happy and I are now back on the road and I…

Sitting here at Tiki Tom's RV park on Tiki Island, Texas. Tiki Island is the last exit on South I-45 before you cross Galveston Bay from the mainland onto Galveston Island. We moved down here on March 26, 2010. The next day I got to visit UTMB ER and enjoy most of the weekend there. (see "My little medical adventure")

I had never before been to Galveston. There is a ton of stuff to do here. And lots to see. Pru has paid a visit and Monday Chris Cary and Linda Diane drove down and we…

Wow! It's been a while. I left Tampa, Florida on the 16 th of March. Even though my right front brake had overheated on the way into MacDill AFB, the dealer found nothing wrong during the tear down and inspection. So he cleaned it up, lubrcated the calipers and put it back together.

That evening while checking tire pressure prior to starting the trip, I discovered that one of my rear tires had deflated down to 40 psi. It should have been 100 psi. So Tue morning it was off to a tire…

Larry and Kittycat are back home, so I can hit the road again.

I haven't posted a OTRA blog for over a month because it has been a long, cold, miserable winter here in Florida. Just like most of the US. So not much happened. (:>)

Happy and I spent Jan. and the first three weeks of Feb. at Patrick AFB, near Melbourne, Florida. then, the last week of Feb. we moved to MacDill AFB, Florida. Near Tampa. The cold, wet, miserable weather continued until yesterday. Yesterday…

Yesterday I moved to a better site here in the PAFB RV Park. (See Pics). Tomorrow I leave. So most of today I will spend getting ready.



This morning I met with George Richards. He wins the prize for being the 40th tbd person I have met in real life.



We met at a coffee shop in Cocoa Beach, FL.… Continue

Driving across the Banana River, Headed to Patrick AFB, Florida.

We are still at Patrick AFB, Florida. It has stopped raining. For the last couple days at least. It was in the 80s most of the weekend. Was really nice today until about 4:00 pm. Then the "Sea Fog" moved in. I was driving down A1A, the road along the Atlantic Coast of Florida that runs all the way from Jacksonville to Key West, when I noticed that something ahead of me seemed to be… Continue

We (Happy and I)are at the Escapees "Rainbow Plantation" at Summerdale Alabama. Listening to the aftermath of Alabama vs. Florida game. Alabama just beat Florida for the SEC championship and will now play in the National Championship game.

We are under a "Hard Freeze" warning tonight. Hope my propane holds out. I have light bulbs in the water compartment. That should keep my water pipeing from freezing tonight. I can hear the Canadians laughing all the way down here.

This morning I… Continue

After two days at the Lafayette/Breaux Bridge area including a great visit with my friend Kathy and her friend Mark and brother Trevor, I decided that it was time to get moving. Thursday was just another day on the road and I made it to the FamCamp at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS. This morning I went to the Seebee Base in Gulfport and got a vehicle sticker for the RV. Then back to Keesler. Hooked up the TOWD and started East. I decided to drive scenic Hwy 90 for awhile instead of immediately… Continue

This eve we are at the Lafayette, LA KOA. It is really located at Scott, LA, Exit 97 off I-10. But since nobody outside of Scott knows where Scott is, they call it the Lafayette KOA. Look it up on Google.

When the weather is nice this is a really great campground. As a matter of fact, When the weather is very unnice (Notice I didn't say shitty. Aren't you proud to be associated with such a nice clean living young man?) it still is a very nice campground. It has concrete pull thru sites.… Continue

Well we're not really on the road. I mean who would be on the road in this area this morning. Its Saturday about 1000 hours here in East Texas. Guess what? Its raining. Its raining and the wind is blowing. I've taken Happy (the dog) out to walk. I dried him off with a towel. But you can't really ever get a wet… Continue

Well it has been a while since I've posted, so I guess it is about time.



We've been having really nice weather here in East Texas, or if you are a west Texan, East Louisiana.

Been here two weeks and two days. This is the Headquarters of the Escapees RV Club. It is more than just a nice RV park. Escapees has over 60,00 members and over 30,000 are active. Many are full timers. If any of you readers think you might… Continue

Tonight we are near Montgomery, AL. Will be heading on down South tomorrow. Going to an ESCAPEES RV park in Summerdale, AL. Will go to the navel base comissary and stock up on food to carry me through the next couple months. I can stock up on the staples and microwavable stuff. Then all I have to buy is things like milk and bread. We pulled out of Allatoona Landing around 1100 hrs this morning and leasurely… Continue
