T-Minus Two Days and Counting

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen!

          Welcome to the first running of the Traveling Motorhome Stakes sponsored by any number of high-priced Petroleum Retailersfound across our great land.

          (Please put your best “Race Announcers” fast-paced voice in your head and then read on….)

          And they’re off!

          Out of the gate it’s California Dreamin’ and Fuel Prices neck and neck followed by Crowded Highway, Rest Stop, Big Flat Tire, Bumper to Bumper and Late Arrival.

          Lots of movement in this race folks!

          Going into the first turn its Crowded Highway making its move past Rest Stop, setting sights on Late Arrival, with Big Flat Tire always in contention.

          There are no clear-cut leaders’ race fans, odds-makers had Fuel Prices as the early favorite, but it’s anyone’s race now!

          Down the backstretch its Bumper to Bumper coming on strong, moving up on Crowded Highway and blowing past Rest Stop. Late Arrival is threatening as Big Flat Tire blows out and pulls up.

          Hold on folks! In the Clubhouse turn it’s California Dreamin’ fading fast with Fuel Prices surging ahead!                                                    No one is in control!

           Out of the turn it’s Crowded Highway, Bumper to Bumper, and Rest Stop. Big Flat Tire threatens again, and Late Arrival could be a spoiler here!

          Wait!

          I’ve never seen this before! Down the stretch they’re all lined up, neck and neck!

           Once again, it’s anyone’s race!

          Now it’s California Dreamin’ and  Fuel Prices on the rail, nose to nose! with the rest of the field thundering right behind!

          Hold on to your hat’s fans!

          Fuel Prices is fading quickly, Big Flat Tire is out of the running, Bumper to Bumper and Crowded Highway dropping back and are now out of contention.

          Rest Stop is coming up and looking good as Late arrival is now nowhere to be seen.

           At the wire it’s California Dreamin’ by five lengths as the rest of the field comes across the line.

           California Dreamin’ wins the Traveling Motorhome Stakes!

          Or so we hope!

          It’s only two days until “Wheels Up” and we commence our Great Circumnavigation of the Lower Forty-Eight on the Way Back to New Jersey for the Summer Expedition.

          Please feel free to share this blog with anyone that you think may enjoy it. It is not private and even though I introduced all of you to it, it does not require my introduction to anyone else.

          With any amount of luck, I should be posting almost daily as we will be traveling and actually have something to write about!

          So, let’s go kick the tires and check the air pressures, pull the dipstick, and help me wash this big rig,

          I hate to travel with it dirty!
