Just wanted to tell you about our 7 week adventure from Wyoming to Niagra Falls, NY, to Quechee, VT, to Freeport, Maine, to Myrtle Beach, SC, to St. Louis, MO. We're on the last leg of our trip in our 177. We have had the greatest time, and our pod accommodated us beautifully. Just to mention that we also had our trusty dog with us! ------------- 2017 Jayco Melbourne 24k 2013 Premier 19FBPR Formerly-2013 R-pod 177HRE 2011 Dodge Durango Love a good road trip |

We both recently retired and have had this trip in the planning for about a year. Because we always travel in the West, we decided we had to go East. We wanted to go to Niagra Falls, so we started our trip by heading that direction. We spent several days there (wonderful), then moved on to Quechee, VT to enjoy the fall colors and hunt for covered bridges. After Vermont we headed to Maine, staying in Freeport for a few days. Our goal was to visit the LL Bean mother store. We also went up to Acadia National Park. We then headed down the coast, trying to avoid the crowds and traffic (after all, we're Wyomians). We would have loved to go to Boston and other historical areas, but with the dog we were very limited. We spent 5 days in Myrtle Beach, SC and 2 days in Charleston, SC because my husband wanted to visit the USS Yorktown. He had been stationed aboard that ship for 4 years in the late 60s and helped decommission her. After that we were going to go to Great Smokey Mountain National Park for a few days and then on to Mammoth Cave, but the government took care of those plans. We headed on up to St. Louis (where we were born), and have been here for the last few days visiting our old stomping grounds and relatives. We leave in 4 days, and our marvelous journey will come to an end. We left on September 8th and will be home on October 28th. We have been in 23 states so far and spent every night in Koko, mostly in KOAs. We never made advanced reservations because we wanted to be free to go wherever we chose and at our own pace. It has been everything we expected it to be and more. It has already snowed in Wyoming, so when we get home we'll be winterizing and will be dormant until spring. We're not ready for that! Traveling this way gets in your blood. ------------- 2017 Jayco Melbourne 24k 2013 Premier 19FBPR Formerly-2013 R-pod 177HRE 2011 Dodge Durango Love a good road trip |

Out of curiosity I would assume you slid by the southern end of Lake Michigan and not the southern side of Lake Superior by us? Sounds like a great trip. ------------- Bruce & Donna in the Sno Pod (and Brewer too) 2011 RP 177 |

Look for the Post Reply button just below the last post in the thread (you can't use the Quick Reply box). Once you are there, look for the little picture of the tree just above the "B". From there you can upload a pic and place it into your post; repeat for more pics. Make sure the pics have been sized properly first. Roughly 6" X 8" works well. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Only those who camp understand the difference between trudging with bags in tow into a hotel room at the end of a day or pulling into your camp site, setting up your chairs outside your door, taking a walk to see who else (and what else) is there, and inevitably making lots of new acquaintances without even trying. ------------- 2017 Jayco Melbourne 24k 2013 Premier 19FBPR Formerly-2013 R-pod 177HRE 2011 Dodge Durango Love a good road trip |

... and not worrying about things like bed bugs, lice, not-so-clean bed clothes ... ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
