Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all from the CurbCrushers. Not sure how many people read this as I haven’t played with the web statistics stuff that came with the account, but I know some family, and three people that have made comments read the blog at least once.

One or two things that I’ve added. When camping and talking to neighbors, everyone always ask me what kind of gas mileage I get. So I’ve put together a mileage summary page that shows the mileage I got for each tank of gas, and the overall mileage to date that I’ve gotten with the Itasca. I may link this permanently from the pane on the left.

I’ve also started posting campground maps. I probably will not put up every campground map, but will try and post those where we go, or where we’ve been that are not available at the web page for the campground.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Back Home

Well, we did it, our first long trip in the motorhome. The CurbCrusher clan drove from Cloudland Canyon back to Orlando on Thursday. Because there was not internet access for most of the trip, I wrote about the trip in OpenOffice and then I’ve cut and pasted into the blog, and edited the timestamps on the post to match roughly when I actually wrote the entry.

It is good to be home, but now we have to catch up on all the mundane chores that we got to ignore for seven days. Grass needs to be cut, laundry done, the house cleaned and all that. It was great to get back and find out that someone other than the family reads this, thanks Lou.

Having spent a while driving the Itasca, I want to write a summary of my thoughts on driving the motorhome on a long trip versus the fifth-wheel, and I want to explain how we got started RVing, as I mentioned in my response to Lou, that may help others that are thinking about RVing, but not sure about it. I’ll probably try and post something about the driving this weekend, but may hold off on the other.

The next trip is already planned, but its a short one. Next weekend we are going to head over to Fort Wilderness, the campground at Disney, for a weekend. Hopefully this will be a more relaxing weekend that the last trip to Ft. Wilderness three years ago when we left early because of Hurricane Jeanne so we could batten down the house before the storm.

Vacation

Well, no post for a week. That’s because the CurbCrusher family has been in Hawaii. Now that we’re back, I’ll try and post some reviews of things we did over the week we were there.

Hello world!

Welcome to the Curb Crusher blog, the Crusher Chronicles.

Curb Crusher is one of the more polite nick names that my wife and daughter gave me. The name was earned honestly, by my continual hitting of curbs when pulling our fifth wheel.

My intent is for this blog to include the adventures of Curb Crusher, which are pretty tame. The occasional camping trip, travel, and food reviews.
