To clarify. Duallies are two tires and wheels on the end of one axle. Tandem axles are two separate axles which have either one or two tires and wheels on each end of the axle. The park guys knew they were gonna have a long day when they got a flat on the inside dual on the rear tandem axle on a muddy day. A cheater is an additional axle that can be lowered when excessive weight is being hauled. And a Canadian Spread is a moveable trailer axle that can be adjusted forward to better distribute support for a heavy load. I will at times sing the Boy Scout classic There's 18 wheels on a big rig. But I gotta have a lot of beer in me.

We are at Dry Prairie campground in Myakka River State Park in Florida. Two other 21's across the the road in adjacent campground. Small world.

Carl,

How do you like the Myakka River State Park? I may try to stay there next February. I couldn't get in last month because all the sites were reserved.

As I was heading back to Seattle today from Oregon, I spotted a 21 footer heading south on I5 at appx 1PM and appx 25 miles south of Chehalis. Pulled by a black (or very dark) SUV (or pickup with canopy, but I don't think so from the brief flash I had of it) and red graphics on the trailer.

(And 25 Toyota FJ Cruisers on the road in both directions during the entire drive home - I always count them when I take a road trip; something to while away the hours. Yeah, I have an FJ.)

That was us in RV Sue's blog. Buenos Aires Natl Wildlife Refuge is our most favorite place to camp. Peaceful, serene, quiet and reminds us of Africa.

I used to tow my 19' with a FJ, other than a little squat in the rear, it handled fine. Then when I got BlackJack I went back to towing with my Ram. So I traded the FJ on my Subaru Forester which gave me cash back as the FJ was worth more than the Subaru. Now, a year later, I'm trading the Subaru for the new Mustang, so in effect, I traded my FJ for the Mustang.??

Myakka is a neat place. Lots of wildlife and fishing opportunity. Boat ride and tram is good. Skywalk is interesting. Good place for bikes. Tends to be a bit humid compared to closer to the coast.

We were at Dry Prarie campground. It is older and pretty decent. Gravel and dirt driveway so kind of dusty. Shower house had a common dressing area that was a bummer.

Later I discovered Palmetto Ridge campground across the road. It may be the nicest campground I've ever seen. Huge gravel sites, wide paved roads with pedestrian bike markings, beautifull shower houses, some pull through sites and at least some sewer hook ups. It is sites 49-90. Dry Prarie is twenty something thru 48. I assume reservations for Palmetto fill early. It must be very new. If I go back I will try to get into Palmetto.

Forgot to mention I had a sighting on St. Patrick's Day! I was staying in Amado, AZ but went up to Gilbert Ray Campground in Tucson to meet up with a friend from home who was staying there. There was a 19' (I think) with silver/gray graphics and silver/gray Toyota tow vehicle, Wahington plates.

Then we passed a 19 heading north on the 5 near Kelso, Washington

Hi Mary and Kevin!
I made it to Jefferson, OR tonight. A long day driving but smooth. Seattle traffic was better than the trip up but it was stop and go thru Portland. Was getting off work time and so much traffic. Nice to see you at the rest stop.

Apr. 2:
We were able to get away for a couple of days up the CA coast to Montana De Oro S.P., and while on a walk through the campground, encountered a new 21. It was Ned and Carla Jean, down from WA, with their Jan. 2016 Escape 21. We had met them at the Fall NOG, so it was nice to renew the acquaintance.
Looks like this is what is typical of what's in store for us once I retire at the end of the year.

Congrats on your upcoming retirement.

Yes you may be able to travel and see lots of other Escapes, since you're in Escape country, i.e. the whole west coast. In our six weeks of traveling from KS to NM and AZ we only saw one Escape and that was by visiting with Jack and Nancy in Tucson. I just realized today, when checking out his blog, that we could have met up with Jon V, I see he passed through Tucson while we were there.
