Ken, Thanks for the info. I have some of that grease so I will try that tomorrow. Mike

That explains why the wheel jack is the only thing I'm having problems with. The wheel wants to stick in one direction and not swivel as intended. I have to kick it to get it turned! Nice to be the only problem, right? Mike

We've let Crab Pot have part of the garage while we are prepping for an outing. Otherwise we keep it in Carol's brother's garage here in The Villages. He bought a house last year but hasn't moved here yet so the Pot gets a nice private site between trips. Speaking of trips, we're at Cape...

Yep, once you see a Camp Inn there is no turning back. The quality is superb but once you visit the factory you see why. I was so impressed on how everyone there seemed happy and loved their jobs. They want to produce the best they can. Great product--we are loving ours. We had great...

Jenn, you are very welcome. You probably know about the Tearjerker web site but here's a link to all TJ Gathering photos. There are some really nice looking home builts in these albums including some different pics from last weekend. Enjoy.. Mike Tearjerker Gatherings...

Sweeney, you're right about the tear jerker gatherings. Carol and I want to one last weekend at Three Rivers State Park in the FL panhandle. We had a great time. Manufactured teardrops like CI and ltl Guy, many home builts and some really neat tiny trailers. Check out this link to some pics. And...

Jenn, one thing about living in the Villages is there is a repair guy for everything. Got the name of someone who fixes golf cart enclosures and for $20 we got a pretty professional looking patch. Gorilla Tape would be a good lead in for better camp fire stories though! Mike

Well, this past weekend we took the Crab Pot out to a local campground (Rock Crusher Canyon in Citrus FL, very nice) to check out our cats response to tear drop camping. He had traveled with us in the motorhome for years so we weren't too worried. He did great--it was all the other creatures...

Mike and Carol's travels with Crab Pot

Wow, Benn, great list. I think I'll use it myself this winter. Actually Rock Crusher is on the top of my list to take the Crab Pot in a couple of weeks for more shake down stuff. It's only a few miles away and I always wanted to go there when we were motor homing but never got the chance. I...

I agree the ferry is pricey but I'm comparing it to cruise costs and the difference can be "justified" (maybe) because we can spend more time at the stops along the way. You can't do that on a cruise ship. However, I don't know if it's worth 2 or 3 days at Ketchican, Juneau, etc. I will...

Jean, try Bahia Honda State Park in the Lower Keys. I haven't been there in a long time but I bet it still a beautiful spot. Fort DeSoto state park is a good spot in the St. Pete area. Close to the Tampa attractions. For the Naples area, try to find something around Marco Island. Goodlands, FL...

Ok fellow travelers, now that the CICO is behind us we can start planning for next summer's Alaska rolling gathering (can you roll and gather at the same time!!??) I want to go up through the Canadian Rockies and then down into Alsaka. The real planning for me will be to book the Marine Highway...

AJ had a great solution for the floor of the tent on gravel. It is a foam pad that he ordered from Rubber Cal. I just ordered one yesterday. He used the extra pieces he cut off to put under the clamps that go across the roof. It was the elephant rubber mat that was 1/4 x 48 x 54. We...

Talking about side tents--if you were at the Camp Inn Camp Out you saw our leaning tower of pizza. I put it up with Caroline's help while Mike was off doing something. I was really proud of myself that I got it up--when Mike came back he said "you forgot to close the door". Oh dang!! So we...

Evan, I tried to add a short video to the Photo Gallery but got an error msg about only accepting stills. Any chance we can get an upgrade so we can post some info videos of our own? For forum info, I wanted to see if my coffee pot could travel in the sink without hitting the inside of the...

Rick, you can order it from Home Improvements .Just search for Earthquake Gel and Putty and it will come up. Everything that was a decoration like picture frames, holding lamps down, counter items, etc. was held down by this stuff. When you are ready to remove the item, you just twist it off...

That is a great idea! We used that museum putty for everything when we were travelling in our motorhome. It is awesome stuff and leaves no mark when you take it off. Carol

Bob and Kathy, What great pictures. Can't wait to get out that way. It was so great meeting you both in person. What is Uncle Matt's last name? I was going to call him and tell him his favorite niece said "hello" but I couldn't remember their last name. Carol and Mike
