James and Catalina are wonderful people! As you probably read, we had a 40-footer at one time, in a Bounder, and we vowed to never go that big again. The space is nice, but comes at a price...or maybe I should say, many prices!

It's obvious you are a straight-shooter and don't put up with much. I like that attitude. Keep sharing your views, I find them real... Hope we cross paths on the road.

We've never been to Sturgis, but have heard a lot about it...mostly positive. But in a crowd that big, there are bound to be some problems. We just don't like big. Rowds or large cities and try to avoid them.

I can relate to a lot of what you said, but so far, I've been fortunate to have only run into, actually, one primary and two or three more I didn't really interact with of the kind of people I'd rather not run into again and associate with. They were in Florida in 2014.

I realize I may offend some people at times, but I read so many blogs that are always so upbeat, with never talking about the realities of the lifestyle, that I think people need to know both the good and the bad about it. After nearly 50 years in various businesses, I know I can't please all the people all the time, and I'm fine with that.

But anywhere you go, you soon realize who you have things in common with, enjoy being around, and who isn't going to involve you in their own problems.

I'd love to meet some of the folks from the Internet but I can also see how you might find some people who perhaps you don't want to camp near. Like you said, the good people always outnumber the bad.<br /><br />I found it intriguing as you discussed how a lot of people just exchanged first namesBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726349704057396107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371994811895753425.post-11944277816098788362016-01-10T23:03:51.063-05:002016-01-10T23:03:51.063-05:00My wife and I were all packed and ready to head fr...My wife and I were all packed and ready to head from Florida to the RTR until Goliath stuck it's ugly head up.
