What do you do if you encounter a moose?

The Colorado Division of Wildlife and the U.S. Forest Service describe the moose as one of Colorado’s most-charismatic animals and have designated July 31 as Grand Mesa Moose Day. Fun, games, activities, and moose viewing information, presentations about moose biology and moose history among other activities.

This is the fun way to learn about one of the west’s most dangerous mammals. Last week I wrote on what to do if you run into a bear while hiking or in your campground, but even a bear will run from a moose.

Rest Assured with a Tire Minder TPMS

For everyone who contacted me asking why I haven’t posted to the blog for the last month or so thank you for your concern. We just returned from a 7,200 mile coast to coast RV trip. My youngest son said I always work when we travel in the RV so I promised him I wouldn’t work on this trip. We had a wonderful time and saw lots of this beautiful country along the way. I can’t wait to start planning the next trip.

Continuing our trip to find the perfect DP

Well, apparently, there are at least some of you out there who really like your coach and are not afraid to express those sentiments here on this forum.  In addition, and again, apparently, I have managed to offend, injure, hurt, spite, go against, violate, appall, outrage, shock, transgress, scandalise, and pique with some of my statements regarding some of the RVs we are planning to review, or not to review.  For that I apologize, it certainly wasn’t my intention, and in order to try to avoid further misunderstanding, following is a list of the representative coaches we are going to look at here.  Did I leave out some very nice motorhomes?  Yes, of course.  Is your favorite here?  Maybe, maybe not.  My goal here is to find my own perfect DP.  The reason there are so many is because what is perfect for me is probably not perfect for you.  As Yakov Smirnoff used to say, “America: What a country!”
