I'll disagree with that, Ron. I love being out in nature, enjoying the forest and the animals, fresh air...
+1

Plus I gotta drive it 2-3 states back home.

I use as much AI as I want to use getting there and back... cruise control.

We have evolved passed that, you are obviously a throwback and probably have cooked food over an open fire
We have microwaves now, live in houses and cut down trees, i.e. we are evolved passed the caveman stage

Camping is when Room Service stops at 9PM

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Not sure why people don't get "My way or.........well nothing else, just My Way" that's always puzzled me

I have an Open Mind, well at least a good breeze between both ears, so just don't get the resistance to the great things I think

He needs that. How about in '24, we do a TRS "Canadian invasion" and go do a meet-n- greet above the border somewhere.

Gotta have a passport now. I think it goes the same way for Canadians coming down for a visit.

Ok. Need to plan ahead on that one. I don't even have the special driver's license for ID at airports yet.

I miss the pre- 2000 years. I've been to Canada twice. Only ever had to show ID, maybe insurance card and answer a few basic questions. Such as; "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
