12 mpg with the 'pod, huh. Now we need to find out what the normal mpg is w/o the 'pod.

We normally get 16.5 MPG with no pod. We are reading your posts and seeing your comments on the blog, but our internet conneciton seems to be a bit sporadic at the park. We do appreciate your comments. |

Huron - Thanks for the updates. I don't have a Windows account, so I have not signed the guest book. I have been following along - "cybercamping". Did I mention that 15 minutes ago I was out shoveling snow! I'm sure the bugs down there are just terrible and you're fighting sunburn constantly....but do your best to have a good time, in spite of it.
By the way, did I mention that 15 minutes ago I was shoveling snow?!! At the rate it is comming down, I'll probably be out there again in about an hour. It's not as much fun as, say, camping in Florida...but it's OK. Good exercise. Yes, that's it....it's good exercise!
I'll let you go for now. You probably need to put on sunscreen, or something. By the way, did I mention....

David, I'm thinking I may need to make my first run down my driveway with my tractor (w/snowblower) before I go to bed. Not quite the same as Huron's weather! |

For the record "ralph the pod hole" is how i refer to our 171.
Can't say as I've had to shovel snow in years but I am covered in maddeningly insanely itchy chigger bites from a hike a few days ago. I must have 80-100 bites and from experience I know it will be around ten days or more until the itching stops. Looks like i have a pox! Yeah, I know I should have taken precautions. Too late now! |

Just wanted to add a quick note to let everyone know we appreciate all the suggestions for sights to see while we're on vacation. We also appreciate all the invitations to meet while traveling. We're traveling with some friends, and Beth and I both have relatives in FL this time of year who we've promised to visit. Between our relatives, and our friend's and our "wish list" of things to see, we're running out of time, believe it or not. So please don't be offended if we don't take advantage of your generous invitations to meet. Hopefully we'll meet each other at the roundup in June.
There's lots of new photos in the blog for those of you who are interested at:
Today we're heading down to the everglades so hopefully we'll have more photos to post after that trip.

Hey guys-
Great following your adventures on your blog and can't wait to meet at the roundup and talk about some things in common....
1. I see you FINALLY saw the light and had a real NY Nathan's hot dog!!
2. We were also JUST at Manatee Park during our trip to Fort Myers area in January. The kids took a kayak trip, and we almost took the war canoe you have pictured. You are right, it was pretty cool seeing those slugs of sea cows at rest near the utility plant. Nice little walking trails in the park too.
3. Geocaching- now that is something John will definitely want to talk about. We have strong ties to the huge Boy Scout camp in our town (the largest one in the country) and John is trying to bring geocaching to the program here- working with some local experts. It's his latest "thing" and he will look forward to talking to anyone knowedgable about it.
Keep the posts coming....the pics are keeping us all warm. Looking out my window now and the snow is picking up again. Counting the weeks to our second winter trek to Florida during spring break at the college- March 13-20 we'll be back in Fort Myers too but, alas, no time to take the Pod.
