Topic: What "stuff" do you have in your R-Pod?
Posted: 08 Jun 2011 at 8:11pm

You will only be about 50 miles away from me when you come to Chattanooga. I would love to have met you up there - I feel I know you already - but I will be in England over the 4th with my daughter, grandsons, and 2 sisters-in-law who were both born there.

MM - if you want, it is possible to embed pictures in your posts and not just links to them. Don't have to of course.

If you pass by Murfreesboro on your way around TN, give a little wave for me. Smile

Hodge Podge I belong to sisters on the fly and we are having a trip to Sequoyah caverns campground in October. We have the whole campground. It is a group of women who like vintage campers. I would luv for you to come. You may want to check out their web site Sisters on the Fly.com. Fun group of ladies. I think the caverns are near you. Everybody might want to check it out as well. I am on facebook and have my camper staged in some pictures. Theresa Roberts
Mountain Mist I know some of the Sisters are in your area looking at the fireflies this weekend.

Wow Theresa, thanks for the heads up. I'm going to check out the Sisters website. Looks like Sequoyah Caverns is about a 90 minute drive from me no matter which road I go -- if I"m not towing something that is.

I love your Website Sister on the Fly. Are you part of the vintage trailers that will be in Townsend, Tn Sept 8-10 for the Vintage Camper Rally?

The fireflies may have mated and gone on their way by now. I noticed on your Website it was mentioned some of you came last year.

Have a wonderful trip to England. You must never stay home. Alas, I used to be that way, but we no longer travel much any more. AND I can not even get out for a camping trip

So I understand you will come home from England and go over to North Carolina to the rental cabin to be with your daughters? How in the world do you manage to get your "homework" done for school!

Tdrace, I echo Mountain Mist. I loved Sisters on the Fly! What an original, creative, and resourceful group of women. I've never seen anything like their trailers in my life! They are so unique. They must cause a stir wherever they go.

Mountain Mist, getting homework done IS DEFINITELY getting to be a problem. And yes, I'm going to England, and then 4 days after returning, I'm taking the Rpod (not a rental cabin) up to Brevard, NC for our family reunion campout.

But all my university work is online, so have laptop - will travel. The cottage in England has wi-fi, and the campground in NC has wi-fi on the porch of the campground -- plus my laptop has a built-in broadband modem. I just tell everyone to buzz off for a few hours, and they go off and have fun while I do school work and then I join back up with them when they get back.

It works for me and I get the best of both worlds. Though I am questioning why in the world I thought I should get another degree at this time of life when I should be just enjoying my young grandkids.

You are showing those young grandchildren what can be done if there is enough will.

I did not mean you were taking a cabin to North Carolina, but thought you were not taking your Pod, but staying in the cabin.

I may moan about not traveling abroad any longer but there is a season for everything and the time for the Pod in my life is now. I was trying to think of what the airport in Austin looked like inside and dang, I have been in so many airports around the world that they have run together

. Inside my Pod, I know

. I love the concept that the Sisters on the Fly have and I wonder how they leave their other at home and follow that. Some are my age, maybe some older, may not have another to leave. I would be out there on THAT road if that were so.

I had often thought of taking a degree online,just did not get started AND did not know what I would use it for. You are building on a base that I do not have. And I wonder if I would have had the "stick to it-ness" if I did not have something in mind to work toward. Only thing I DO know is I would not have pursued it out of boredom since I don't get bored

Not in my DNA.

It would not be the 4th when we travel to Chatanooga, dislike holiday travel. And the friend would not want to leave her shop, it being a good selling time. Since I would be with her on that jaunt and in her vehicle in case she decided she liked the travel trailer and could pull it home. AND we would have her wolf with us. It looks like my thoughts of going to North Carolina are not going to fly either. At my age I have learned to go with the flow , finally. I take what I can get and when I can get it

Diane, lucky you. England is so darn pretty! We're going back next spring before it gets really nice here, hopefully with some friends. Have a wonderful time and take a few pictures for us.

Too bad you can't fold up your Pod and take it with you!

Snowbound, I would absolutely LOVE to pod around in some of the caravan parks over there. Many of them are very close to the sea. But the next best thing is to rent a car and a cottage. All my friends over here say they want to go with me because I really go off the beaten track. I"m very comfortable doing that because I lived there for 3 years in the 70's.

Mountain Mist, you may not have the degree you want but you have that mountain "intelligence" for creativity, determination, resourcefulness, and curiosity that I've seen in so many of my family members - my grandmother, my mom, my aunts and uncles, etc. That kind of intelligence is priceless. You don't know how many people I know with advanced degrees that don't have a lick of sense! But fortunately, I know more people who are actually humbled by their degrees because the more you know the more you know how much you don't know, and that's the truth!
