Western Ky here!
After a hiatus of about 13 years, we're RVing again! Both wife and I are retired and next week will acquire a 2014 Coachmen Clipper 17FQ. Pulling it with a '16 F150. We're excited. Started camping with a pop-up in the early 90's, progressed to a 25 ft Holiday Rambler, then to a 31 Prowler, pulled with Ford conversion vans and had a blast while the kids were at home. We're looking to making a trek to the west coast (from Kentucky) and back next spring/early summer. Which brings me to this question--do you use an online program to plot/plan your trips? If so, which one? Haven't been Good Sam members in years. Grandkids are getting old enough to enjoy camping. Here we go!

I was down in Kentucky Dam State Park for the eclipse last summer. That was an experience I'll never forget. Met lots of wonderful, friendly people while I was there.

A couple of hundred camped in my neighbor's back yard. I had 2 MASSIVE motor coaches parked in my camper sites. It WAS a hoot! We are at the epicenter of that eclipse--Hopkinsville!

Howdy and welcome from Kentucky... Auburn here and the eclipse was pretty awesome. Wish I would’ve taken some pics around instead of up.. the lighting was awesome.
