Marymac got to Silver City in the early evening after driving in a whole lot of wind. We got her hooked up went into town for dinner. Its always so much fun to meet one of the forum ladies. This was her maiden voyage in her TT and she did just fine as soon as we got her hands unclenched from the wheel. I remember my first trip - I thought my hands were going to be permanently attached to the steering wheel.

Pink wings at that!

And yes, I had several white-knuckle trips as well. Marymac, just know it's more than okay to pull off during high winds. I'll pull off at a rest stop or parking lot and nose the rig into the wind. THEN I'll turn on the radio or CD player, pull out a book, stretch out and relax (or nap) and wait it out. That's the beauty of having my house on wheels.

Enjoy your visit and congratulations on your maiden voyage!

What a great first trip. I'm sure Marymac was a little less stressed, knowing she would have you there to help her out and help her gain her confidence. And she got a flamingo wine glass to boot!

Hmmmm, the glass looks empty. After a white knuckle trip - would have thought Karen would have presented it full :) Or did it get emptied that fast?

Glad to see the 2 of you - and glad that first trip is under your belt, Mary. Things will just get easier and easier. Really - especially if you don't sweat the small stuff (or even the big stuff).

I've been there, done that! And then once you get your fingers off the wheel, it seems to take hours before you can straighten them again!

I was sooooo THANKFUL to get here in one piece and have karen waiting for me.What a BLESSING!!! I have to appoligize for the photo she wouldn't wait till today when I have my face on. I was pretty scarry.For goodness sake i sell makeup for a living.LOL
My glass has stayed empty so far. I am allergic to achohol(What a tradgedy) but i will use it for tea...
What an awsome mentor that Karen is. She took me to Wal-Mart..................She said you need one of these and one of these and......:) Great fun she has already taught me so much.

Wow, great job. Reading about your trip through all the wind and such it giving me inspiration to put my fears aside and get the darn RV and start going. Hey Karen, if I come to TX someday will you take me to WalMart and tell me that I need this and that..... :)
