Interesting feedback from the Xscapers Facebook Group. I put up a poll and here are the results. I wish I wouldn't have given people an option to post write-in answers, since it skewed the results a bit. But you can still see that 56% own some type of real estate or co-op lot, and 44% are property-free. It's prompted me to do a few interviews and put together a story for the July issue of Escapees Magazine, so stay tuned! -
Not planning on passing it down, most likely obsolete by the time I pass. At least I hope so. It's also not corded per se' only the charger has a cord and it's working fine. Haven't torn it apart yet, still thinking about trying an in person return to the store where I bought it. I'll be there in a month. Rod -

If you're counting on having equipment worth passing down to future generations, Harbor Freight isn't the place to buy anything with a cord. Pull it apart, focusing on wire connections. A bad solder joint will only get worse with use, before getting bad enough to fail. Check out the trigger switch, if the solder joints all pass inspection. I've had a HF variable speed drill switch fail to all or none mode. -
Having gown up in Kansas, it is clear that you, like many others didn't see much of Kansas. This was taken not from from where my relatives live in the Kansas Flint Hills. You should also return to Oklahoma and travel through the areas east of OK city. -
Observations along the trip. Texas. Always was kinda neutral on Texas. Crossed into Texas at El Paso. That was NOT neutral. What an awful place to travel through town. It has a million people, but the traffic, etc makes it feel like LA. Not a good introduction. Then Texas got real nice with El Paso in the rear view mirror. Good drivers. Little traffic particularly on 190 to Waco. Nice small towns. Great Courthouses!!! You can probably write a tour book on the Courthouses of Texas. There must be a lot of history in those courthouses. Great radio stations. Lots of fiddles and steel guitars with Merle, EmmyLou, and a host of others. Never put in a CD while in Texas. Only downside was it was tough to find places to stop for the night. Lots of truck stops, which does not meet my definition of boondocking. Oklahoma. That was quick. I thought the panhandle of Idaho was quick to cross. Kansas. I once read an article that if you made Kansas pancake size it would be flatter than a pancake. I can handle flat, Florida is flat. Kansas is flat with crops.. Once I crossed into Kansas the music stopped. It didn't stop, it just got bad. Nebraska. The drive across Kansas was pretty boring. It got interesting as I crossed into Nebraska. Liked North Platte and the river. The next day driving into the Sand Hills was incredible and I was there at the worse time of the year before green up!! Sand Hills were on my bucket list and they way exceeded my expectations. The Niobrara Wild and Scenic River was great. The Sand Hills were pretty. Even the Nebraska National Forest was scenic. The icing on the cake was all the wildlife areas and prairie potholes. Every duck got its own pothole. I would not mind spending a month in the Sand Hills. Thanks to DJohns for the tips on Nebraska. Wyoming. Been a long time since I was in Wyoming. The population growth was just amazing. People everywhere these days, outside the public lands. Thank god, for those. After the relative solitude of the Sand Hills, it was jarring to run into people again. I really liked the Jackalope on the hillside above Douglas, Wyoming. Wish I had a kid in the truck to watch their reaction! Jackson Hole on a Monday morning in April was filled with traffic!! Eastern Idaho. Same story. Where did all these people come from ?? Montana. Did enjoy the drive across I-90, but quickly went onto Highway 12 and into Idaho and home. Next time I think I will go east of highway 83 and try highway 385 and 27. That means I would have to double back to revisit the Sand Hills, but it would be worth it. That country just north in South Dakota looks real good.
