Road trip 22 days May 08, 2017, 10:28:10 pm Made it back home today from our road trip. In 22 days we drove 4010 miles in 9 states. And the only LD issue was a bad water pump on day one. Our old girl ran great even going to elevations over 9000 ft a couple times.

Re: Road trip 22 days Reply #2 – May 08, 2017, 11:01:02 pm That's a lot of traveling in 22 days! Hope you had lots of good road tunes to help pass the miles? Thanks for sharing the photos, very nice! Is that an elk trying to eat your LD in photo 603?

Re: Road trip 22 days Reply #5 – May 09, 2017, 10:34:16 am Great pics and sounds like an amazing trip. Still anxiously waiting for Todd's call that ours is ready to be picked up. I already have our big summer trip planned from Sebring, FL to Hot Springs, Branson, Twin Cities (to see Marie's granddaughters), UP Michigan, Traverse City, Detroit suburbs (to see Marie's granddaughters), Lake Erie, Cape Cod, Gettysburg, RDU NC, Hunting Island, SC and Gamble Rogers SP on the beach north of Daytona. We have 100 nights on the road and if we are not totally crazy by then, I'm thinking we will have learned a lot about our new baby. I can't wait! But the biggest thrill will probably be the drive from California back to Florida, our first in our new LD. 4 Likes

Re: Road trip 22 days Reply #8 – May 09, 2017, 05:33:45 pm Thanks, Steve. When we retired we were trying to figure out how to see family (especially Marie's grandchildren) during the year. She was living in Minnesota when we met, I was in St. Pete, Florida. I moved and spent 2 years in Minnesota and finally convinced her to try Florida for a winter. That worked and we moved down, near one of her sisters who winters in Sebring. We sold out everything and moved into a tiny house here and thought we would also get a "tiny house" on wheels so we could see the family when things warmed up north. Thank God we found Lazy Daze. Now the plan, if all goes well is to spend six months six or seven months here and five or six months out visiting family and seeing the country. Everyone on this site has been a big inspiration and help (I'm reading everything I can get my hands on). I'm especially looking forward to the time on the Cape because there is a LD rally in September next to the town where I grew up, so we'll be able to meet a lot of people there. Hopefully, down the road, I'll become knowledgeable enough to be able to share some expertise with others who are just starting out like everyone has been doing for me. 4 Likes
