Pooh Is On The Road Again

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaack ....

As our Facebook friends know, we have taken several trips with Pooh since our last entry on Poohtracks.  That darn Facebook makes it just too easy to click a pic and post it right away.  We got lazy and didn't take the time to write more than a few cursory words.  Several of our previous readers asked if we would start the blog again so they could get more details about our excursions.  So, Poohtracks is back!

For our latest trip, we are heading to South Carolina to spend the holidays with our son Matt and his wife, Raelyn.   Her parents and brother will be joining us and we are looking forward to a nice holiday season.  It's been 3 months since our last outing in Pooh, and we're feeling the itch to get on the road again.

After putting our stuff into the motorhome, we turned to hooking up the new car.  Everything went well in that regard, despite some nervousness; the new Honda just seems a lot more serious than the old Geo Tracker.


When everything was fastened up tight, we were finally on our way, getting entangled in Friday afternoon traffic as we crossed the Howard Frankland Bridge over Tampa Bay headed toward our first campsite.
We should have left earlier
It's amazing how much we depend on electronic gear on our trips these days.  However did we travel years ago with only a map?

Rearview camera, CB radio, auxiliary brake monitor, XM radio, GPS, compass

Not much to see on the way . . . just one poor chap getting pulled over by not one, but two law enforcement officers.


. . . and the always interesting Airstream Ranch along Interstate 4.

A bit of Americana
Come back tomorrow to read about the interesting people we met in the first campground of the trip.

Frank makes friends wherever he goes
