Report from the Road; Uncle Joe’s shakedown cruise. We recently acquired a HitchHiker 5th wheel. This is a report of our shakedown cruise on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula. We left port Monday morning May 12, 20009 about 11 a.m.; hitched up and headed west for the Pacific Ocean. We found the day loaded with drizzle. The Beast has a gps navigation system that provides vocal turn-by-turn narration to a destination. We arrived at the Dunes RV Resort in Copalis, WA, notwithstanding the turn-by-turn narration. “At the next intersection make a legal U-turn.” Right away, we knew “the Voice” was lost.

I was surprised to see cars and RVs parked on the beach. I sat on a piece of drift wood and watch the waves for about an hour before heading into ... read more

Supporting Cast: Sue: My kidnapper and Cheuffer Nemo: Her 3-year-old daughter Mike: My partner in all things We grabbed a change of clothes, piled into Sue's car and were off to Ocean Shores. The drive there was Nemo The Musical, as the 3-year-old was making up songs: "Mike no swiping Mikes a swiper, Mike no swiping! Bollocks" Mike was in the back with her, there was much squealing as they played "rib countings." We all did a few cover songs; Sue used her all-powerful Mommy Voice on Mike a couple times for breaking into shanties a bit too risque for young minds with good memorization skills. Nemo, as with all children, was mortified by her parent singing. I think its just on principle, Sue has a lovely voice and has garnered much applause at karaoke. We ... read more
