This sand sculpture was in the shape of a map of the US showing landmarks. Hold on, is that Sparkle stuck in the sand near the Gulf Coast?
Nope, must be Beth…
Here’s the west coast and AK & HI
The first thing I did was go to the Alaska RV Adventure seminar w/ John Holod. He had CDs for sale which I did not buy, but here’s his website if anyone’s interested: www.rvadventurevideos.com
Here I am like a poor kid in a candy store…can’t afford anything here, but I can drool, ok?
There’s something here for everyone….this coach has a deck….so you can sit outside without going outside?
A new way to carry your toad, mini-toad (toadette?)
I was looking for something smaller, how about these cute TT?
Done up in retro style, it has a rear kitchen and bath
With a dinette/bed. Well, maybe not that small.
There were A-liners, but couldn’t find the Chalets, Cedar.
I enjoyed looking at the new Roadtreks and other B vans. I noticed their new design has more windows, but less storage than my ’99 RT. The Pleasure Way dealer was going to give me a good deal on a used 2006 she had there, offering me $17,000 for my trade. But, it had high miles, and I was only looking today. This afternoon I’m going to look at a 2002 Pleasure Way being sold by a private owner.
I like the layout of this 20’ Born Free with twin beds.
But the Phoenix Cruiser had my favorite layout with a full bath in the rear, twin beds in the center
And an elec. Sofa bed/slide that makes another bed. A dinette is an option for the slide too. It also has a retractable screen door, lots of storage, and a hefty price tag.
There were many modes of mini- transportation on display too, or part of the entertainment:
Unicycle
Armadillo power
I was about to take a picture of the man in the blue trying out this scooter thing, when he suddenly did a back flip and fell. I couldn’t get the picture because I had to check on his well being. Nothing was broken except his water bottle and pride.
Now this elec. Scooter was cute
There was plenty of musical entertainment
And Roe would have been put out if he’d seen all the dogs…some on a leash, but many more little ones being carried in infant-type carriers, or strollers.
By the time I got to the vendors’ tent, my feet were hurting, so I tried out several remedies being offered. One man had some kind of snake oil he rubbed all over my feet promising instant relief. After he put it on, he asked if it felt better. I told him I haven’t stood up yet; it felt better when I sat down. Down the aisle this booth was selling gel inserts. My feet still hurt with them, so didn’t buy any.
I’ll have to wonder if these springy heels would have helped, because I couldn’t imagine myself wearing them, so didn’t try.
This is for you crafty ladies who sew. These cloth bags have sand in one end and are made to hang over the arm of a chair & hold whatever…can be made to match your décor.
All in all, it was a fun day to look. There’s another show coming to Ocala in February….may have to look some more.
) - what day do you think you might go?
