Any camping spots nearby and accessible which could accommodate?" "with toad"?? Who would the "toad" be.......you? I think the word is "RV'ese" for the little cars the monster RVs tow behind them, making them even more of an annoyance on the highways. RVs are among the worst annoyances on the interstates...big, bulky, sometimes really lousy drivers, and then two of them in front of you pull into the passing lanes. Even worse on the two or three lane state roads. There ought to be laws that require them to stay in the right hand lane, period. No more an annoyance than a little car towing a big boat. You can tow it, but can you stop it? I remember some time ago there was a guy who popped in here wanting to know if it was ok to pull a 20 ft boat with an old Pinto wagon. That gave me the credeps I see examples of that on the highway. If I think it's safe to pass them, I will or I'll fall back and give them plenty of space. Some of these SUVs on a car chassis with car brakes are the worst offenders. === We see people all the time pulling trailers that are right on the edge of being out of control. They'll speed up a little, the trailer will start to sway and fish tail. and then they'll slow back down enough to maintain control. I call it an accident waiting for a place to happen. My other pet peeve is under powered RVs however, and there are quite a few of them. Either the RV or the driver is unable to maintain a reasonable speed and they create a rolling road block in the right lane. Everyone else is forced out into the passing lane which creates a massive bottleneck on a two lane interstate. |
