Jim & Alice Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks, Dave. I think we are beginning to resemble that picture... Life is a blast! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 22) You look confused when someone asks you “where are you from?” Now "that's" hilarious... and so true. All the years on the road I still have no good answer for that. Trips me up every time. 26) With any new purchase the first two questions that have to be answered are "how much does it weigh?" and "how many amps does it take?".

Yarome Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 31) You haven't worn a watch for months and have to think twice when someone asks you what day of the week it is. 32) "Ruining your day" isn't a flat tire on your trailer.. it's getting to the dump station and realizing you're out of surgical gloves.

Or in your case having to rely on your friends on Escapees,com to get down out of the maintains without running out of fuel. I don't think I would have ever thought of doing that, and I got to hand it to you it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl&Rita Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Dig back in the archives. Basically, one member got into a spot, rain washed the way in, he was running low on fuel so couldn't explore much, and some other Escapees helped him back to civilization.

Tex Bigfoot Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I was just going to let Yarome tell it would be much better coming from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was just going to let Yarome tell it would be much better coming from him. Exactly when did this turn from a "RV humor for full timers" to "RV full timers are hilarious" thread?? Right off I'll apologize to the OP for the hi-jack. Fine.. under duress I'll tell it. This past June I was trying to stay ahead of the flooding hitting Texas and was high-tailing it out of the area. I turned to the forum for ideas of where I could go to keep ahead of the storms and (in collusion no doubt) Tex Bigfoot (you're in it now, bud, for bringing this up), TrailerTraveler, and Jim2 (Jim), routed me North West up into the Cibola NF area just south of Mt. Baldy. (knowing full well, no doubt, that the Southern roads are routinely washed out that time of year). So all was well and beautiful for a couple of weeks. MAGNIFICENT vistas and day walks that make you contemplate the divine. My mistake? In my haste and long lines at the pump out of Texas I forgot to fill my aux tank. Come day 12 I thought I would venture down to town and hit the grocery in Magdelena or Soccoro. That's when I found out the way I came in was completely impassable. Spent nearly a day driving over and around every which way, hitting snow and closed gates. I headed back to my rig and cranked up the satellite. At that point I posted to the forum that the gates were closed. Jim was kind enough to let me know.. "Oh.. yeah.. the observatory closes the gates". I ended up finding my own way down on old forest roads and coasted on fumes into Magdelana (there's nothing like the on board computer telling you "0" miles to empty for the previous 10 minutes into town) . All was well. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you don't believe me that SKP's would do such a thing.. here's a link to the original thread: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=118281&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 With all due respect to Yarome, I honestly couldn't remember who the wayward soul was, and wouldn't have stepped on a good story, had I known the teller was following along.

Working Tourists Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Funny how many of these apply to FreightKampers, too. I always say I never expected to have a job in which I wake up and ask my husband what state we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
