A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Hey! I survived and so did my dog and Little Missy! We had great fun and nothing drastic happened. We left last Wed. morning and got home today, Friday, about 11 AM. It was two days filled with my "firsts". First I drove on the interstate for the first time with Little Missy. Had a semi on my butt , but hey, if he wanted to he can go around, right? I was holding it around 60 as my gas pedal foot was hopping around so much from nerves I didn't seem to have the muscle power to push harder. I didn't have many miles to go so I hung in there and did ok. Got to the state park.


Then backed in like a pro. Well, a semi-pro.


Got to remember to park off to the hook up side in order to leave room on the other side so I can get in and out without having to walk on the dirt/grass.


I didn't do too badly with leveling.


Then we took a walk around. At one end there is a huge open field where I let Choco off leash. Up on one hill in the corner is seating and a smallish stage. Must be for ranger talks etc.


Down the valley and up the other side is the apple orchard.




Choco loved it there, but seemed to love being on the picnic tables best.



I got to see my first yurt! I snuck pictures through the window.



And the ceiling


Just a tree I liked


A puzzle I did.


My first meal. Well, I liked it! Cottage cheese, tomatoes and a chopotle, black bean veggie burger.


We took lots of walks but didn't quite make it all the way to the river/beach area. Next time.

Then my first DUMP. I didn't get a stinky bath, so I'm calling it good!


I then took the interstate back home and even stopped for gas for the first time!
That's my story!

Good job! And maybe the truck thought you had a cute butt???

i have the perfect solution to keeping EVERYONE off your butt. Get some window chalk and write on the back window;

STUDENT WOMAN DRIVER.

Great job Lenora, you have waited for this for so long I'm so happy that you have made your dream come true.
I liked Retiredhappy's suggestion suggestion to write Student Woman Driver on your back window.

YAAY!!!!!
I'm so glad that it all went well for you!

I'd love to see your great big grin as you were typing that!

That is so neat Lenora. Congratulations! Good idea Retiredhappy! In Britain Student Drivers go around with a big red L on the back of their vehicle. It lets other know to be kind - hopefully.

Proud of ya girl! Good job. Road Trip time!!!!

Great pictures, and you really gave a good description of your first adventure. Glad Choco enjoyed too. He'll be looking forward to going in the rv in no time. That's a nice campground.

ooohhhhhh how fun! I especially liked the apples on the apple tree, did they let you
pic any? or was there a sign, NO PICKING APPLES

Great idea, Karen. Only Little Missy doesn't have a rear window.
The apples were free for the pickin'.

Wonderful pictures....so glad you enjoyed the trip!

Good Job Lenora! So glad that you and Choco enjoyed your adventure in Little Missy. What's the plans for the next trip?

hey neat pictures looks like a really nice campground...In Utah there is a campground that used to be an orchard what ever is in season you can enjoy...it's called Cherry Hill Campground...on Highway 89 or near it just north of SLC about 15 miles maybe...
Enjoy your outings
sheila

Oh yeah, you didn't say how Choco did on the trip ....was he a nervous Nelly or did he calm down a bit?

Choco? I drugged him and he did well. I only gave him a small dose. He's getting more use to being in the rig too. Once we got set up and he got to enjoy the park there was no stopping him He really enjoyed all the smells!

No plans as of yet. I need to get the thermostat looked at as the furnace wasn't shutting off like it should. Also I think my sensor on the black tank is mucked up. It read 3/4 full, then I dumped and it still said 3/4 full. When I got home and checked again it read 1/4 full. I'm sure I had it opened all the way when I dumped as I heard the rushing gush of yuck. I still need to find a source for the specs on the rig. I have no idea how many gallons my tanks hold. I even put the correct Calgon and other chemicals in the tank before the trek.
