Got the POD home safe and sound!

   That's right -- I forgot that was the 53 spur!  I passed an R-Pod on Red Bud Road at Red Bud the Sunday that school Spring Break (April 10) came to an end.  I had noticed that the R-Pod had been gone from your subdivision that week.  Now, I bet that was you I passed, wasn't it?!!  I had just bought my own R-Pod from Three Way Campers that very week, but I hadn't picked it up and gone through the Walk-through then.  It really is a small world after all!    

About June 24, I'm not sure.  I'm flying to England on the 29th so that's a little close together, but what a good idea!

Oh yes, . . . . and I have a 177 also.

	Hey there! Yes, that is our little Pod you see backed in! Small world isn't it! That road is actually 5-Spur to Rome. What model did you buy? We love our Pod! Number one, it's just so darn cute! It's easy to tow, and my husband is a pro at backing up We purchased ours from Three Way Campers in Marietta, who in our opinions could not be any better accomodating. We plan to go to Salacoa Creek again the weekend of June 24th. Perhaps we will see you there? There are so many beautiful places to go in Georgia and a lot of them are within less than 50 miles from our house. It's nice to meet you also!

	Hey Sanjera! I live just down the road from Salacoa Creek Park (at Red Bud). I'm actually thinking of doing my maiden camping trip at Salacoa Creek because I will still be close to home if somthing comes up I didn't think of. I teach school and this is the LAST week of school, and FINALLY I can go camping. I can't wait. Is that your R-Pod parked at that subdivision just outside of town on 156 like you're going to Rome? You said you camped in Calhoun but you didn't say you were from Calhoun. Just wondering. So how do you like your 177? Oh . . . and it's REALLY nice to meet you!

	Hey H.P. Groupie! From one R-pod owner from Calhoun GA to another. We camped at Salacoa Creek in Calhoun this past weekend and could not have asked for better camping weather. Our little 177 was the talk of the park! We definitely placed "Best in Show" this weekend.

	The only things I would add to David's list in that 2nd link are things that are necessary to tow safely and comfortably - brake controller, sway controller and/or weight distribution hitch. Enjoy and add on later when/if you are ready.

	Snowbound, I really do think it will simplify your life, so don't worry. Just realize that a lot of folks in the forum are techies and do-it-yourselfers and they LIKE to tinker and "improve" their pods. For them it's just plain fun, and novices like us get the benefit of their knowledge if we want to. But it's not really necessary to do all the mods -- your pod is ready to go. The only thing I would worry about is being SAFE when you tow, and knowing how to maintain your pod (such as winterizing, dewinterizing, etc.) Believe it or not, you are probably good to go just as you are. So just enjoy . . . and by the way, I'm going to TRY to follow my own advice!

	Yes, this year our name is all too apt . There is still 2 ft of snow in the trailer spot but it is melting quickly today. I'll be happy to post some pics when I learn how. I take lots but then they languish on the digital...I'm really feeling overwhelmed by the amount of things to remember re the Pod. Am I correct that lots of this stuff will seem obvious once we are actually using it? I hope Reading all those posts about cotter pins and thermostats and leds that don't work and hose connections, etc. has made me realize this is not going to simplify our life! I really appreciate those other Newbies who ask what many of you must consider really basic questions and Iknow we will come up with some of our own once the Gastropod is home. Next week I hope!

	From one Newbie to another, a warm welcome to Snowbound. Sounds like your name is apt!
