Urgent newsfor RVers

and some interesting fun facts
IMPORTANTIf you drive a big RV or a big truck, you need this web page link to LOW CLEARANCE BRIDGES IN THE USA
If you are driving an RV to Alaska, be sure to read this page about the Alaska Highway in the Yukon Territory.
importantnote: If you are in an RV and traveling on I-75 in Florida, the Flying J at exit 285 is very poorly designed for RV's trying to get diesel fuel, in the opinion of the two RV Gypsies. There are only two pumps, and although the two RV Gypsies were only second in line, they almost blocked the entrance while waiting. Plus, the width of the space between the pumps is just barely wide enough for a big class A coach. If an RV were to be there getting propane, that RV would block entry to one of the diesel pumps. There is a truck entrance to separate pumps, and the two RV Gypsies recommend RVers use that area. Another point of interest is that the cost of the diesel on the day that the two RV Gypsies stopped at this Flying J was 20 cents per gallon higher than just down the road.
Just an opinion of the two RV Gypsies
July 9, 2010 - Today the two RV Gypsies ate at El Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant & Grill in Cave City, KY because a native in the area recommended it. In the opinion of the two RV Gypsies, the sauce that came with the chips tasted like plain, ordinary tomato sauce. Even adding their hot sauce to it did not give it any kick. The dinners did not give the two RV Gypsies any reason to want to return to this restaurant. They also have a restaurant in Glasgow, Bowling Green and Munfordville.

CHECK BACK HERE OFTEN BECAUSE THIS LIST WILL DEFINITELY GROW AS WE TRAVEL

bullet The weather we have encountered: sunny & warm, cloudy, cold, rainy, foggy, extra windy, hail
bullet We will stop traveling when we have seen it all, or we wake up from this dream, or are broke, or too old to drive, or too sick to continue. Not expecting any of the above to happen soon or at all for that matter.

UNTIL THEN - Lots of love and hugs to all - please keep following our travels and keep in touch. We miss you. Ta!
What makes us good RVers! We don't have much money- just enough to get by, and not many possessions, but we do have a lot of love and respect for each other, and we love travel, the outdoors, meeting new people, and having fun!

One thing I don't understand is that if a campground is real empty of RV's with a lot of available sites and they let you choose your own campsite, why do RVer's choose to park right next to another RV. It's not that I am anti-social or I wouldn't be a full-time RVer, but when I can have an empty space next to me, it allows for a nice view of scenery. I do enjoy the opportunity to meet my fellow-RVers, but I also enjoy the few times an empty site next to me allows me to look out by big bay windows and see more than just another RV.

Also, when the campground assigns you a spot they ask if you have pets. If we say no, then why do they park us next to someone who has dogs that bark or yap and wake us up early morning???? I like dogs, but I don't like their barking to wake me in the mornings - after all, I am retired.
