I know what you mean about doing more it than once. I can't wait until I get to do it again. I also want to stay at the Ross Lake Resort on those floating cabins.
I almost thought about dropping in on you when we passed Rockport, but we had to get back to Seattle Saturday before six.

This might happen sooner than later. I recently traded in my aging 98 Ford Expedition on a 2007 Volvo XC90 V8. This was mostly because I have kids learning to drive, and it's even hard for me to park the Expedition. Plus I wanted the safety of the Volvo.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a max towing capacity of 5k. Mine is not equipped with the factory hitch, which is probably a good thing, it only supported a tongue weight of 200 lbs. I've found an after market hitch that supports 500 lbs/5000 lbs.
That would get me in a 16 Sport. I really wanted a double axle, and am particularly found of the 27FB. But perhaps I can work my way up.
My wife doesn't drive, so we've always been a one car family. With a 15, 17, and 18 year old, I suppose it is time to consider having two cars. Maybe the second will be a more capable towing vehicle.
Of course my upcoming insurance bill might keep me out of an AS for a while.
