We didn't make it by Does (or load up with tile...) but we did loop by Grenada for a night at Hugh White State park...we have never been there and wanted to scope it out. Shared electrical, lots of trees and unsual twists for parking...the CG is below the dam so outflow can raise the water VERY quickly...

Here's a photo of the Greenville casino lot and one for Grenada...back home and off to work to start 2011!

Some notes...2010 we towed 8,098 miles and spent 57 nights in the 'stream...

Um...dunno on the entire milage...too lazy to keep records I guess

...I do know I got 12.9 on the longest trip (4,500 of those miles...). The MPG-O-Meter is 'optimistic' by 3.5 mpg...I noticed on the run back from Grenada it showed 16.2 this past weekend...The in-laws gave me a funny look when I told them we get 12 mpg...they get 8 with the gas-burner-class-A

Thanks. I assumed the fuel log would have been part of the record. We armchair travelers (for now) keep a calculator handy along with maps and other data as we piggyback along on the journeys of others (and project costs).

I guess we have been too busy camping and having no problems with the 34'....it's been a AWHILE since I posted to the thread!

Mrs HiHo has been on me to replace the decaying stripes...I ordered new ones from Airstream of Mississippi and they were promptly delivered to my door...and sat there for a month

One challenge was the clearcoat that was sprayed OVER the old decals...I used blue painters tape and ran a line 1/2" below the stripe and started slathering the majic Orange Paint stripper over the old stripes. After a couple of swipes, the old Vinyl was gone-gone, along with most of the glue.

re-stripeing is not my strongest skill

...

I finally got the hang and after repainting and riviting on the em'blems...

I'm ok with the results...

Crappy photo attached...

That looks fantastic! Makes your Airstream look new!

I never woulda thought...

This situation actually made for some interesting conversations during last weekends camping trip...

No, we didn't tow with a Honda, it was just parked there during our stay...

But some folks had a different impression. "Those Airstreams sure do tow good. How does it feel behind the Honda?"

Well, I do have a Hensley...
