    We’re currently on a road trip in the Florida panhandle.

    Stayed a night in Huntsville, AL….cool fucking city. Had dinner with an Army buddy at an old middle school converted into a couple restaurants, a bar and a brewery. Cool concept. We’ll be staying there again on our way home and finding some more breweries.

    Got in kinda late to Florida so haven’t seen much yet.

    McMenanmins want their schtick back....

    I spent a year in Huntsville back in the day - c/w a bunch of Italians for ESA and payloads. On the Space Shuttle. Good grub and golfing there.

    It’s growing fast. I knew it was growing and getting big when I saw a Top Golf on my drive into town.

    Monday night we made down to Santa Rosa beach in Florida….cool fucking city!

    Tuesday we took the nacho dawgs for a walk on the beach to get some perspective before getting stopped by the code enforcement cop telling us non residents are not allowed to bring dogs on the beach.

    Walking back to the parking lot, I saw this on a truck with Florida plates. Cougs get around.



    Also saw a place on the side of the highway in Alabama called the Fiero Factory which was a collection of old Pontiac Fieros and I though to myself why the fuck who anyone want those but to each his own I guess.




    Ended the trip by letting Mrs Nacho practice driving with the Airstream attached in the Home Depot parking lot and then to our storage unit. The stress might’ve taken a couple years off my life.

    Since I posted here in December, Mrs Nacho told me she doesn’t like the RV life and it was stressing her out to have a $125,000 RV to take care of, maintain, pay for etc. I thought about and realized I like RV camping but I don’t love it and we sold that bitch on Monday.

    Woke up Tuesday morning and sold my truck later that day. Great fucking truck but if I’m not towing an Airstream I sure as fuck don’t need a Ford F250 diesel to get around.

    I know many of you are probably upset and thinking that waddles with Nacho is one you top 2 all tim RV threads on HH but don’t worry, I’ll simply transition this thread to a general travel thread that I’ll mostly likely forget about by next week.

    I’ll leave you with a couple Airstream photos.

    I really don't understand why someone would by an airstream for RV'n ...for the same price you can get a big ass fifth wheel with 4 slide outs and more room than those stupid ass tiny homes.

    Do you want quality or quantity? Mrs Nacho wanted quality.

    Do you know how many hotel room nights you can get for the price of a big ass 5th wheel or an Airstream, is something @MrsSnow would say?

    The bathroom situation in an RV just doesn't cut it for @MrsSnow. Also we don't road trips of more than 3 hrs. We're keeping @Logistics and the shitty ass airlines in bidness.
