  • Time for a little R&R (rock & roll) to shake the cobwebs out. We were in for a shock when it was shut down.
    Our Harvest Host overnight stop was great but it was packed tight and parking was at a premium. The pie was delicious.

    RV Camping
    We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
    We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to RUclips channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.
    Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

    We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.

    Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
    Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
    Vehicles:
    2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"

    2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
    2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
    Power system:
    3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
    30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
    2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
    2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove

    My husband had the honor of graduating from the AF Academy. He went on to fly F-15’s. He retired after twenty years with the AF as a Lt. Colonel. One of his assignments was in Iceland. His squadron would “accompany” Soviet fighter jets as they toyed with our air space. It was during the the Cold War and the Soviet Union thought their old rickety jets were a match for our very superior fighter jets. His last mission was into the Mideast. Things were heating up there but America just wanted them to know we were keeping an eye on them. This was during end of 70’s into the mid 90’s. Went on to become a Captain with a Commercial Airline. And now we are both retired. He loved his aviation career.

    I will just share this. I have a little background in aviation. David you were exactly right with your comment about the Black Widow!. Please people don't wet your pants from what I'm about to say😂. The YF-23 is still to this date the greatest fighter jet ever built!!!!!. The Raptor is the most dominant fighter in the SKY hands down but it is our current Air Superiority fighter because people in congress got some weight dropped in their pockets. Head to head in every category the 23 outperformed the 22..😮

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Месяц назад

      Agreed. Heard that the USAF required thrust vectoring and the 23 didn't want to sacrifice stealth or speed or efficiency. Too bad... the Raptor is still the best out there but we could be better! Thank you

    I grew up just an hour from Cedar Point , BEST costers in the US . We were there several times a year ! My Mom was in her late 60es the last time she rode , because she made sure she rode EVERYone that they built . There have been several new ones in the last 20 years since she is gone. Lots of great memories !

    The F-4 you sat in was Col. Olds’ airplane in Vietnam. He was was an American fighter pilot and promoted to general officer in the United States Air Force (USAF). He was a "triple ace", with a combined total of 17 victories in World War II and the Vietnam War.[2] He retired in 1973 as a brigadier general, after 30 years of service. Olds had a highly publicized career and life, including marriage to Hollywood actress Ella Raines.
    This week at Langley Air Force Base we dedicate a building in his honor with his daughter in attendance.

    When I worked as a County Clerk Archivist, we had what are recorded as Cemetery Deeds. Property owners would petition and deed specific portion for cemetery use. Most of the appropriated property was an acre or more located near a dedicated road way. In Oregon all cemeteries are inventoried every 10 years, including Indigenous People who occupy them.

    So fun! We took our 14 year old roller coaster-loving grandson to Cedar Point last Summer and stayed a week during July 4th. We went into the park 3 days and enjoyed amenities the other days, including fireworks on the beach on the 4th. It was hot and crowded, but wonderful!!! You are correct about the Cedar Point Ap: it's a great tool for managing your time. It also helps to have a grandson obsessed with roller coasters, who researched everything ahead of the trip. I so envy your time there with that lovely, cool weather....but I don't envy the mayflies!

    My Great-Uncle Willis, a farmer at Iron Mountain, Michigan, used to shut the engine off on his 1959 Ford pickup truck whenever going down a hill to save gasoline! With the standard transmission, it was simple to restart the engine while rolling along! He did this constantly while driving! I don't think folks today know about this gasoline saving "secret" LOL!!

    When you showed the tires had sunk it also looked like the bottom of your tires were flatter. lol. Your back tires were rolling forward also. The scattered cemetery is from closed churches often. They get moved or torn down. There use to be churches much more often on the road. The SR-71 is an awesome plane, still the fastest plane to fly. That one looked to be an Aardvark bomber. .

    In the beginning of the video; when you mentioned going to the USAF museum in ohio. I thought "cool.. dad was in the airforce.. ill watch then share your vid with him".
    🇺🇸 im now at 33:37 where you mention we are in riverside OH, right outside dayton. I see the hangers... i paused your video... made a Google search. ... This Wright Patterson .. my father was stationed there at Wright Patterson Airforce Base in 70s. We went to St. Peters grade school... and often especially when family came to visit, went to.see the airplanes ✈ in those hangers... my favorite were the flying tigers.
    Thank you so much for sharing.
    P.S. my father was appointed to organise all transportation for Mrs.Kennedy & lil Patrick...
    Im so proud of my father & our country.
    No one is perfect...
    God bless 🇺🇸

    Wow haven't been to Cedar Point since I was a kid, maybe 1971. Our next door neighbor was an Episcopal Minister and one of his parishioners owned Zantop Airlines and we took his Yacht there. Calm going, not so much coming home. Definitely hanging off the back of the boat.

It’s always busy but worth the wait! If you ever get a chance to go to Berlin, OH, make sure to go. Rolling hills and gorgeous in the fall! Lots of Amish there and owned businesses. It’s beautiful country and you will fall in love with it. We go every year to camp😊 Only 2 1/2 hrs. from us too! Safe travels😊

    I love roller coasters so I was a little jealous that you had some fun rides. David's face lit up in the Air Force museum, so much interesting history there. My father was a Navy pilot for 20 years and served during WWII, Korea and the Cold War. He retired out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in NW Washington state and I remember the sign along the highway near the base which said 'Pardon Our Noise... It's the Sound of FREEDOM". I'm looking forward to your next adventure!
