As many times as Minnie Mate has been in Florida it should show a footnote:
Florida to the 4 power.

Well Kent, here's our map, we stayed in a county park near Madison with a nice dog park.

Yo, guy99 - is there an issue with the SOUTH????? Well, come on down and enjoy our hospitality soon.

Just asking - you have all the states I want to visit marked on your map. Hope to visit that many in a few years, very impressive.

It has begun to feel like a second home. I feel like I know the stretch of I-75 in Florida better than the stretch in Georgia!

In fact, we head south again in less than two weeks for our annual Christmas/New Year's trip and then we'll head to Topsail a week after we get back for the Can Opener Rally. Then back to FL again in February and April. All trips to Disney...our favorite destination! Thank goodness there is a such thing as annual passes.

When I started to include Alaska because I lived in a rental KIA mini-car for a week before flying home (after disembarking from a cruise in Anchorage) I knew I had to go cold-turkey and avoid the shame of false statements.

Actually, I like clancy_boy's rule #4. Make it whatever you like. Not everything in life needs a rule.
Current set of tires? Man, are the women ever going to be mad when they find out they didn't have to get the tattoos.... Chaplin, you ought to see what happens to Wisconsin when Shirly flexes her left one!

ha! well, i'm getting a new map for all of my trailers.. not sure if i'm going as far as the tatoo on my chest.

seriously, though. what fun would it be to put a brand new sticker on a new (to me) trailer, and immediately fill in half the states?

With me, it wouldn't matter about the tatoo. No one could see it for all the hair.

who said chest? Wouldn't the hint of "flex the left one" make more sense if the women sat on their tatoos? By the way, since adding the 4th AS last week (and sadly, it will be small parts soon--see "Dead in Baker") I ought to be looking for another woman, too... in the tradition of Colorado City, UT, of course.

I think it should be either states you've eaten in or bought fuel in!! Seems I spend more money on either of these than a campground. I stay in truckstops and rv parks, not resorts. jim

Zep ~

With 4 trailers now...and all the polishing in store, you could get your very own caravan tattoo of all your AS models around that growing bicep of yours!

THAT, I wanna see at the next RMVAC Rally!

I use "states in which I slept in my camper".

I hesitate to call some of them "camping" - the NJ trip was actually when I picked it up; I stayed in it overnight. Also, the MD trip was actually when I was living out of it for about a week and a half. Neither of those really feels like "camping" to me, but I still have them on the map.
