Does your wife help drive when you are towing? I 'will not' drive the mh yet, but I did help tow all our trailers, except the 5th wheel. Never would drive the truck even without towing - just didn't feel comfortable.
No, NoM, DW does not drive the Suburban and she doesn't tow therefore. I think that's an unspoken mutual agreement between us....
Well it's checkout day. All good things must come to an end.
Yesterday afternoon before leaving for supper we had 6 visitors at my site. One little hussy wasn't shy and posed for a picture.
For dinner we wanted to add something new and avoid the DTD traffic snafu at the same time. So I drove to Port Orleans - Riverside and we caught a boat back and forth to DTD headed for a reservation at Raglan Road.
Your Fort parking pass and entry card makes it "no questions" getting into Riverside.
First time to eat at Raglan Road and it was good. Why this Irish influence didn't get into an Ireland section of Epcot I'll never understand.
The band "Drops of Green" performed outside before our meal. I bought 2 of their CD's. Enjoyed the live music tremendously.
At the top of every hour was some live Irish dancing.
This morning I decided to be a spectator in the MK for the Full Marathon and see the race from outside the ropes. We got there 5 minutes before the first wheelchair and runner athletes.
On the boat back to the Fort the runners were still coming in as we sailed through the waterway. The first picture looks toward the CR/MK side and the second (with the DJ who had the big Mickey hands) back toward TTC.
Then breakfast at Trails End. It was very good. Sadly, the old stuffed bear just inside the door on the lower Crockett's Tavern floor is gone (in hibernation). The TE manager told me people had taken parts of him home over the years and he only had 2 fingers and 3 toes left so he needed a rehab. The cost to do a good rehab was such that he is now in storage.
Also, we all have that McDonalds or small diner or shopping mall food court in the early hours in our towns where the old retired guys get together in the morning to chew the fat and nurse a cup or two of coffee. Coincidently, very few wives are ever present that I've seen. Well the Fort and Trails End has its very own "koffee klatch". Chummy with the manager, they sat at the empty tables of Crockett's and were careful not to make a mess.
Well time to hit the road. I will post some updates Monday on Fort Desoto in case anyone is looking for somewhere else to go. Otherwise, it was fun. Since no kids were along and no park days filled the days, I had time to do an unusual trip report. Thanks for following along.
