Where were you with your NEWMAR today?

Crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel just feels tight. Height restriction 13' 6". Two one mile tunnel spans. Cost $34.00 for a New Aire (no tandem axle) and a toad. Still preferable to DC traffic!!

OMG! That is big-time-tight!

We were up there a couple months ago and took the tunnel with the Jeep just to see what it was like. Don't think I'd take the coach there.

My first RV trip in my Ventana went to Cherrystone and had to go through this tunnel and then back. Yeah, 2 years of therapy and I'm finally doing better.

Catherine's Landing, Hot Springs, AR

Nice campground along a river/lake with lots of activities. Nice town nearby with everything you could want from dining to retail. Sites are nice, staff friendly, no complaints.

Cellular: AT&T good, Verizon no good
Starlink: Good except for deprioritized in evenings but still good enough for streaming YouTube TV
Campground Wi-Fi: good but not used
SAT: Just pick the right site if you are a SAT user, plenty of wide open sites
Cable: good
Dog parks: several in the campground, a really nice one we discovered today opposite side of the CG while on a long walk and then dog park time.

Yeah. Sure glad we were in the shorter height New Aire. The construction for the new parallel tunnel estimated to be completed in 2023 added to the pucker factor too.

Back home till the Tampa show in January. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 month trip with the only issues replacing an AC unit in Indiana and of course our buddy Ian that ripped through our area. We were blessed with no real damage to our house other than 40' of fence, a few roof shingles, and one tree. Much less than some people we know who lost house and all contents to flood only a few miles from our location.

We have been at Tanglewood Campground in Clemmons NC since Monday. It is really a gem of a campground. At $38 a day you get full hookups, wireless (which is iffy) and cable. Also miles of paved paths, bike paths, pools (seasonally) etc. Only 44 sites, so it is perpetually full. We book a year in advance.

Chattanooga North KOA (McDonald, TN)

Cellular (AT&T and Verizon) both 5G and north of 100 down, AT&T 5G is over 200 down (both are prepaid plans)
SAT: Not used but could be a challenge
Starlink: Not needed, stowed, but trees could be an issue
Cable: Non HD - blech
OTA: Few, not used as I have YouTube TV
Wi-Fi: Done right! 5 Ghz is strong and speeds are typically 50/50 Mbits

Beautiful area. Staging for my next move into the monument of the Smoky Mountains Thursday.

Got the whole row to myself. Putting "recovering from Ebola and 98% non contagious" in reservation notes seems to work well.

I can't wait to use my new heated fresh water hose!

We picked up our 2022 Dutch Star 4081 on Saturday morning at Tom Lindstrom RV in Moorpark Ca and drove her north to our home in Vacaville. 420 miles straight through and I could not be happier with the coach. What a dream to drive. My last time driving a MH was my 89 28' Fleetwood Flair 20 plus years ago. This was a completely different experience altogether. Looking forward to the weekend when the wife and I will be taking it on our first trip to Bodega Bay for a long weekend.

Which park at Bodega Bay? The one right at the marina is a nice location if you can get in on short notice, but this is probably still non- commercial crab season and its a busy place when thats going on. But there will be plenty of crab every night. The surrounding CGs look nice but I still havent made it to them so if you do please report your findings. And yes, pics are mandatory
