Driving..driving..driving

Driving...driving...driving, you do a lot of that in a RV, now, when we sailed, there was no one around, nothing to watch for, when you drive one of these monsters you have to be on alert constantly, keeping your focus on the road and on other drivers! On Adagio we would put our sails up and of course one of us stayed in the cockpit, but we would go down below to make a sandwich or use the head...this does not happen when you are driving...you can’t leave the wheel! 

We also look for fuel stations ....a lot....we had Adagio for 7 years and I think we only put fuel in her maybe four times...but these things drink fuel like crazy! And let me tell you, finding a fuel station that

1. Has diesel
2. Can fit Esprit...pulling Bender our Jeep

3. Easy to get into 

4.  Easy to get out of....are hard to find and sometimes it takes us two or three tries just to get fuel. I also noticed that I am on watch more in the RV than on the sailboat, plus I wear my seatbelt when we are driving, so I have to set still and that is hard for me! Food is not an issue, because like a snail or a turtle, we have our home with us and I can just wander to the frig and get something to eat, or feed Pierre when he is at the wheel. Sometimes we can find a restaurant that we can stop at but that is very rare. We stayed at a RV park the other day in Egan La. that had a large pond so of course there were ducks, they had a couple of nest with so many eggs. 

They had coypu in the pond, also known as the nutria, this is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent. It has been classified for a long time as the only member of the family Myocastoridae, but they were cute and the owner said that they keep the grass down in the pond so he lets them stay.
