Default Well, wish us luck!!

All packed up and ready to head out with our youngest son and his new wife for our first camping trip (Elaine and I) in 20 years! Don't worry.... Tyler and Stacie have been going out for 11 years already so no practicing will be happening in the trailer! This will be a great wind down for us after the past 6 months of getting ready for a wedding!

Heading up to Cedar Grove Campgrounds in Qualicum Beach. Guess where we camped the last time we camped? Yup...Cedar Grove. Same owners and they fit us in with a perfect, full service spot right on the river.

Now, lets see if the driver can handle this setup .......

PS: Thanks for ALL the help and advice I've received from the crew here! Muchly appreciated!

Good luck to both couples. I hope your tow experience is good. We hooked up our 5er (to the 350 obviously) and bugged out to the north coast for a few days to escape the Sacramento valley heat.

It was awesome to watch her drive the rig and get that smile on her face when she knew she could! She loves to drive....and thought that she would lose some of that going on holidays. Well, that ain't gonna happen! Love it. I'm so proud of her, I'll show the compound corners she had to accomplish backing into our yard.

I've got a trucking wife!!!
