I can now drive our rig!
#24

Thanks Larry for your comments. Left Camp Newell last Friday after the driving lesson and headed to Ketchum, OK - just down the road hoping to meet up with a couple we met there last year. We stayed 3 nights with plans to leave Monday morning and go back to the Tulsa area to spend some time with kids and g-kids before heading south. As we were preparing to leave I told James that I would like to drive. This route and general area is very familiar to me having driven back and forth many times to and from Grand Lake so it was a great opportunity to get in some driving time and James' first experience being the co-pilot. He agreed so I got behind the wheel and he directed me as I backed out of our spot. He hooked up the jeep and off we went. I drove 85 miles through Tulsa freeway traffic and a couple construction areas and pulled into a truck stop for fuel. I backed into our site while James gave me hand signals. I honestly never thought I would be driving the coach, but I really enjoy it. Luckily all our tires are new. James handled my driving well. We had a couple issues. He said he's not ready to kick back and catch some zzzz's yet while I drive. Understandable. I'm looking forward to getting in a lot of driving time and getting more experience. I love teamwork and this lifestyle is all of that.

James and Carol Brooks,
