My first venture in Little Missy

Postby AlmostThere » Fri Sep 18, 2009 2:18 pm

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 :shock: , 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.
Image

Then backed in like a pro. ;) Well, a semi-pro.
Image

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.
Image

I didn't do too badly with leveling.
Image

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.
Image

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.

Image

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

And the ceiling
Image

Just a tree I liked
Image

A puzzle I did.
Image

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

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!
Image

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

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

STUDENT WOMAN DRIVER. :lol: :lol: :lol:

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :shock: 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.
