Hello Dave,
06 May 23 07:51, you wrote to me:

Good advice. I have a friend who used to commute from Bawlamer to DC often
and he told me there are many good RV parks outside of the city to park at and
take the Metro into DC instead.
I do have places outside both cities I can park a trailer temporarily.

DD> I-40.
That's a good idea also. What I might do is take I-65 out of Slidell up to
Montgomery then I-85 to Atlanta (having lived in the Atlanta area, I have
several places I'd like to visit). From Atlanta, I take I-85 to I-185 in
Greeneville, SC, then take US Route 25 up to I-26 just south of Asheville, NC,
and follow I-26 north right to Johnson City. I take the reverse of that route
to get to Atlanta.
The little S10 is hopefully going to get running Monday. I feel that if I put
a Class III hitch and put in some air bags in the springs for support, I could
get an ultralight trailer and do some traveling. Nothing out in the sticks at
first with my health but there's many places I've driven past that I'd like to
visit, including Canuckistanian friends like Shawn and Nick (Nick is Fidonet's
zone 1 coordinator). Getting to Toronto is an 11 hour drive from here (I'd
split it into two days).
Now I have Willie singing "On The Road Again" in my head...
DD> Pick up a hitch hiker of the female persuasion. Bv)= Or bring your
DD> portable ham radio with DX capability.
I don't know how lucky I'd be with the first option and the second option is
going to happen (I have a HF rig I can easily mount into the S10). The good
thing about the satellite messenger is that it can contact my parents
immediately with my exact GPS location as well as Garmin HQ who can dispatch
emergency services immediately.
But this is all just a hope and a wish for now.
I am currently in the process of attempting to get service-connected
disability for my hearing loss and tinnitus as it relates to my military
service.
