Yes...Lisa, I figured you would "get it". Yes, the boys do tend to be more brave about these types of issues. SIGH<br /><br />Barbara, yes, a close shave. The tape measure by the way, is Man's father's and Man always carries it.<br /><br />Susan, YES you can do it, you just come up with alternatives to handling situations. First would be, ahh, hemmm, better planning than we tend to do, call ahead earlier for reservations and ask for pull throughs. There are a lot of RVers that won't go into a campground unless there are pull throughs. That is fine. We have even seen the staff or other campers back in a unit for someone that cannot. <br /><br />No matter what adjustments must be made, just get out there and do it. We see people in wheel chairs, on oxygen, with all kids of disabilities, and they are traveling and seeing the US and Canada, living their dream. You can too!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-86897193828211891382012-01-09T14:37:37.123-05:002012-01-09T14:37:37.123-05:00So, so impressed - and depressed as well.

In fact, I...Wow...totally "get it" Carol! In fact, I felt my stomach tightening up as I read it. Man and Mike sound so much alike in their skill and daring confidence. It would probably take a lot more miles under my belt to relax, even a little, in these situations. Good story telling!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-45791994687856772912012-01-08T09:52:12.473-05:002012-01-08T09:52:12.473-05:00my Heritage Happens, yes, it was a bit of an ordea...my Heritage Happens, yes, it was a bit of an ordeal, and yes, it was beautiful country. Worth the shoehorn experience!<br /><br />Phil and Rudee, teamwork for sure, thank you.<br /><br />Karen, nerve-wracking, yea, that is a sweet way of describing it. I do believe it was followed up by an adult beverage or two! LOL<br /><br />Lynne, lessons, nope, suggestions, yes. Keep your insurance paid in full! Have good insurance policy. Don't rush, even though Man in this instance did a ram up the hill at considerable speed, it is not something we advise for normal operating procedures. Learn to stand where Walt can see you in those side view mirrors. Learn good sign language and once you find something that works for you, DO NOT change those signs. Use of cell phones or walkie talkies is highly recommended. During back up, always get out, always stand behind and watch and look up too! Trees are lovely, but, they rip roofs!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-75069839651490467482012-01-08T09:24:18.579-05:002012-01-08T09:24:18.579-05:00The nightmares shall now commence!
