We have many options, one of which is returning to last year's locale. Or we can try a somewhat longer jaunt and go to a chain joint like Cheeseburger in Paradise or something like that. We can discuss here or we can settle it during the day on Friday.

If there is going to be a trip to your place, why don't you just leave the engine at home and we can load it up on Sat????
I have no idea of distances between places, but I assume it is "not too far" so that works for me.

Mikey -- How could we forget the "Lifeboat II?" Although, in all seriousness, it might be good if you could park it first (Wednesday evening?) That way, it will be situated right where it needs to be and then billy can just back right into place and all is cool. And we have plenty of room to complete the Horseshoe with Victor's trailer. Ja? Not to usurp the Camp Commandant or anything, just sayin' ...

Unhook and come on around him. We can set up awnings open to eachother. Then the last R.V. can pull up and open his to us. If Billy can't, maybe if he takes an angle, we'll make it work.
