26 years later....

After exchanging Christmas cards religiously for 25 years we decided today to actually stop and visit Sally Sange in Cape Canaveral! Sally mother of Noah and Kate at Aylett Country Day School was our parent pal for many years and our children Noah and Ben were best friends - we engineered many weekend camping expeditions which may have been the model for the TV survivors series. Wonderful to catch up with Sally after her OBGYN career and friend Michael who works at the space center building the next generation U.S. space launch vehicles.

Beauty and the Brute

All we ever desperately need is a shot of water and electricity by RV site hookups which inside the "Beauty" silver box are miraculously converted to an espresso coffee! Enough to get you moving each morning after a humid overnight in the tranquil south Georgian low country forest! All the thirsty Brute needs is a large serving of diesel fuel to satisfy his appetite! The Brute can even accelerate impressively with tow up from 70 mph if called upon providing lashing of fuel are administered!

The Brute Awakens

After 4,000 miles and four trips the Beast finally had to admit it could not handle hills let alone mountains! Enter the Brute, a 400 hp and 800 lb torque RAM diesel with a 6.7 liter Cummins 4x4 - that should fix the problem!
