3 Mile Tow

Post by JEBar » Tue Dec 26, 2017 4:35 pm

well, another record outing is in the books .. 8-) .. the record being, the shortest distance from home that we've ever towed to camp .... yep, our family gathered at a one of our son's home (located 3 miles from our place); so, to help with sleeping space, we spent Christmas camped beside the home of one of our sons .... the site was unlevel in every direction, thank goodness for our camper's Bigfoot auto leveling system .... on the positive side, we did have 50 amp and water hookups .... it was cold on Christmas and even colder that night .... none of that mattered, it was a really good Christmas and o hope that was the case for everyone here

The ground sure doesn't look all that uneven but seeing the wheels off the ground sure tells the true story.

Doesn't seem right there isn't about a foot of snow on the ground and ice sickles about a foot long hangin from the awnings

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

what a terrible thing to say .. :o .. for our area, over on Accuweather, the headline in large bold print reads Snow Event On Wednesday .... go and read the details and you see that there is a 75% probability that there will be little to no accumulation .... now that's the only type of Snow Event we need ... ;)

also, looking at the difference in the length of extension of the levelers lets you know how much the ground dropps in just a few feet

our Sportchassis is a fine truck but it is absolutely useless on anything resembling a slick surface .... too much torque to rear tires coupled with not enough weight .... back in 2010 we towed our camper to the mountains of western NC for Christmas .... went to bed with a cold light rain falling .... got up the next morning to well over a foot of snow ..... we were stranded for about a week

If you want snow and cold, come on up. Minus 23, last night and 8" of snow on the ground. :)

JEBar, that's my idea of a great Christmas, regardless of the weather. Family is what the holidays are all about in my book. Love our north woods, but we're so far away from family and off the beaten path, up here, they can seldom visit.
