Day 1 : We're on the move.

Well here's to the end of a great first day. We were going to leave first thing in the morning, however I slept in as always. I was up until 6am trying to set up this blog and finish last minute projects. We emptied the fridge, finished packing up the RV, replaced the tonneau cover on the truck and hit the road. We were shooting for the Adirondacks in upstate New York but ended up about two and half hours south of Lake George.

Although we didn't make it to our intended destination, we did learn a couple of lessons that will most likely help us in the future.

Spare tire bike racks are not the most secure pieces of equipment.
Velcro can and should be your best friend.
Starbucks and Burger King are expensive at rest stops.
German tourists travel in the weirdest vehicles. (see below)
Remember to pack coax cable so you can watch T.V. after spending 6 hours installing all of your AV equipment

This is by far the weirdest RV/bus we have ever seen. At first it looked like a bus pulled in the campground but then it looked like a regular Class. They backed into their site and opened the doors. When the lights came on you could see 20 or so German tourists crammed into this thing like an emo kid stuffed in skinny jeans. We stared out the window above our sink wondering where in the hell all these people were going to sleep and right before out eyes the bus turned into a circus tent, seriously with music and all. ba da badibada ba da da da.... Not sure about the music but the whole rear of the bus turned into a tent full of bunk beds and why do Germans always sound pissed off?
