"U" turn

[Jon Wehrenberg]

There you have it folks. The King has spoken. He did not see me block any traffic.

(Does that mean I buy lunch today old pal, old buddy?)

No photos, no witnesses, no proof. And certainly no admission of guilt.

[phorner]

Well if the Kig says it, it must be so...

That's good enough for me

(Ok, so cash or bank check will work just fine)....

Joe, taking a survey about who has had to unhook and who has not would not prove anything at all.

If you drive super conservatively , you will never have to unhook. If you drive aggressively you will be unhooking all the time.

The thrill is in pushing the limits right to the edge. Getting into that tight spot and just barely making it work out. He who has the most of those would be the best driver in my opinion, well maybe if you subtract a point for every unhook event.

Peter,

Then you would certainly appreciate our circumstances when we accepted a campsite in NY recently that we knew going in would require me BACKING OUT ALL THE WAY WE CAME IN, since there was absolutely now way we could make any of the turns on the outbound road (and I use the term road loosely)

Yep, first thing on a Friday morning, before any arriving traffic was expected, we fired up and backed out 'till I could make a 3 point turn in their laundry room parking lot.

Once again, we were the morning's entertainment

[Toy Box]

We all know there are only two kinds of drivers...those who have had to make a u-turn and those who will... similar to pilots....those of us who have made a gear up landing and those who will....

Roger now has to go into the witness protection program.

[Orren Zook]

Wildwood NJ would have made for a better story line.......

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Well looks like we do not need a survey to find out if Peter or Toybox have needed to unhook.

We have 2 more potential servers

I am picturing some uniforms.

We've got to break Joe of his habit of thinking like an eighteen wheeler driver. It seems like every one of them is of the opinion anybody driving one of them big stagecoaches can't drive, and that somehow every trucker knows how to back up, but the amatuers driving those fancy stagecoaches don't know how.

Apparently Joe hasn't spent much time in the Flying J parking lot and compared what he would see there to the gyrations one sees watching the gyrations in a campground. It is my opinion there are as many "go forward" truck drivers as there are bus drivers.

Peter hit the nail on the head. There are times when you need every single inch of space available, and it is only when you are commited to the turn you find out you need more inches. The problem we face is if we are reasonable straight we have a little ability to back up a short distance. But if we are in the turn and run out of room, if we start to back up even a little bit we can tear the tire tread sideways from the toad, or bend the tow bar or both.

Joe, this ain't a semi. If you start piling on the miles in your coach your will be getting a T shirt.

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Ay scoostamod, yer breakin my heart.

Dittos on all the nondriven.

As for the unhookin, a blind man on a galloping horse would be glad to see it.
