shakedown cruise

Thanksgiving weekend was a little on the cold side at Morris Meadows campground in Freeland Maryland.  We were told a number of times by the staff at the campground that they throw people out if they find that you have aggressive dogs.  We were a little worried about Gus, but he was very well behaved and we just made an effort to divert our direction when walking him if we saw other people or dogs heading our way.  Both Vada and Gus adjusted to the RV lifestyle almost immediately and seemed very comfortable. There was an open field where I played ball with Gus to have an outlet for his energy. The field was easily seen by dozens of RVs, so we hoped that no one would turn us in to the RV police. We were lucky. I did have the electric on him just in case, but I never had to use it. We put Gus's bedroom crate in the bunk bed area, and he transitioned fine with the new surroundings. The problem will be when we install the desk. His crate will not fit under the desk, so Kathy bought a gate that we will install across the bunk bed area, and hopefully that will be an acceptable alternative.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast at the Horn residence, and the Eyegabroads (Jenny, Tim and the boys Peter and Mathew) came down from New York, and Amanda came in from school. Jim and Alison and family unfortunately couldn't make it, and we missed not being able to have them there to enjoy the festivities. Peter and Mathew were so much fun. Peter has grown so much since we last saw him, and it was the first time we had seem Mathew. What great kids! (must be because of great parents).


Our shakedown cruise was a success!  We have included these pictures from the visit to our new RV home.
