Thanks to everyone who contacted us. We hope you all have great Raindrop experiences down the road. 2012 560 Ultra for Sale We are losing our inside storage space this winter and have decided that our Camp Inn is too nice to sit outside so we are reluctantly selling it. We are currently...

We were minding our business and driving through Haines Alaska and look what we found! A genuine Raindrop sighting in Haines. I bet there will never be 2 unplanned Camp-Inns in Haines again. Can't really tell from here where we are. Try the next pic. In case you don't believe me, check the...

As promised, here are some photos from or stay in Homer.

Well we are having a slow day in Wrangle. The ferry schedule required a 3 day stop here but I would avoid it in the future. 3 tours were of interest to us but one to see the bears at AnAn observatory doesn't start til next week (no bears because no fish yet) and the other was to a glacier and it...

OK, I finally added some pics. Not really in order since the bear was somewhere in Canada but neat picture. The rest are from here at Ketchikan. We leave tomorrow for Wrangle. Note how close the eagle was to the boy. Also, can you count the eagles in the tree? My caption on the brown eagle is...

I found the Canadian version of Jenn's McOffice. We have lived in Tim Hortons since the rains started up here.

When I plugged in the Crab Pot to the tv receptacle tonight (we're supposed to leave for Alaska tomorrow) one of the brake pads started making a beeping noise. The only way to stop it was to unplug the line from the Honda. Any ideas why this is happening and is it ok to drive? Thanks, Mike

Just to add on to Jenn's night launch shots, here are some pictures of Meribeth, Benn and Carol at the same spot in Dec. Our night launches were cancelled but they agreed to to launch a nuclear sub from just across from the campground. The large crane you see is the same one in Jenn's pictures...

I was doing a little research on campgrounds at various stops along the Inside Passage and look what I found! This is from a campground brochure in Juneau. Mike OK, I think my Village friends are getting a little jealous of out TD sub culture. They've started sending thing like the new attachement!

We just spent a great few days with Benn and Meribeth at a neat campground located on the ocean and inlet where the Port Canaveral cruise ships sail from. We've decided to go back on March 22 to 24 to attend an airshow in nearby Titusville. That led to an idea to have a mini gathering - call it...

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

Here's Carol with Benn and Meribeth in the jungles of Central Florida (aka Lake Griffen State Park). They had just survived a classic summer thunderstorm and were warding off the mosquitos and love bugs!

Does anyone out there tow with a Honda Pilot? I'd like to hear about any hitch recommendations you might have. I ordered the SUV option but I'm not sure if I'll still need a drop hitch or not. Thanks, Mike

It may be a little early for me to start this ball rolling (since we don't get Crab Pot until Sept) but Carol and I are finally going to make our dream trip to Alaska next summer. I've seen so many post where y'all are keeping track of each other and meeting here and there that I thought it...

We went to one of the monthly cruise ins that we have in The Villages and noticed this cute little "doll house trailer"! Little did we know our curiosity would lead us to CI and the purchase of our very own doll house 2 years later. I thought this would be a good follow up to Betsey's post on...

Here are some of the pictures we took of the Time Capsule. This is downtown Orlando and not big mouse anywhere to be found.

We ordered up our contract for a 560 Ultra and have a September build slot. Can't wait--September is a long way away. We will have to take a lot of patience pills. Does it snow in Wisc in Sept?? Will I need chains for the TD? Just kidding but we'll probably head south rather than tool around...

Do most of you "old timers" unplug from your tow vehicles or do you depend on the battery isolator to make sure you don't draw down the tow battery? And by the way, if you're plugged in to shore power, do the 12v options run off an inverter so that no battery power is used? Thanks in advance...

Hi Y'all, I'm Mike and Carol is the copilot (or was when we had a MH). We're enjoying the forum as we plan our purchase of a Camp Inn. Hopefully this will happen sometime this summer and we'll be able to meet all you forum members at a TD function somewhere. Mike
