Fred, Glad to hear you made it there safe. Hope the weather is a little more cooperative for the return trip. Enjoy your new trailer.

It was a long wait, Fred and Dora, but I'm sure you know by now, we'll worth it. A hearty congrats!

Fred and Dora, if I've ever seen a couple of happy campers, you two are! It looks like ETI is going to have to get a bigger map.

Fred, Thanks for the great photos. A couple questions regarding your F-150 tow vehicle, if you don't mind. How much did the rear of your truck squat under the weight of the tongue of the 21'? It looks like it might be squatting maybe just an inch or so, but I don't know your truck's normal rake (slope from horizontal) while not hitched. So if it did squat, how much, and did/do you feel the need to use a weight distribution hitch to level it back out? Thanks. Safe travels....

Congratulations.
It's good to see another pin going into the middle of the States. We can't wait to stick ours in.

True! Pinning our flag on the map was a cool part of the process. :-)
