In the first ones imported (deported?) to the US, you had to manually mix the gas and oil. It was no fun following one of those things.

Plus they screwed up AM radio with a bunch of static. There were a couple of them around town when I was growing up.

Already excited for this... I went through all my expenditures for the Summer trip to get a more accurate idea of what I need to budget and I am ready to go again! Lol. I keep showing everyone the video I made. Hopefully I will be bringing some Florida newbies in the Fall

Looks like another FL caravan for the Fall Event. Another friend from Sarasota will be going up in the fall. Maybe we can meet up in Atlanta.

That'd be cool if we can figure a FL caravan out. Maybe split the drive up too or something. I don't think it'd be as bad driving in a group though.

$875.17. Majority of that was paying for the room since I did not have a roommate. If that was split with someone else, it would have been cheaper. Might try camping some next time though and that will help me save! Though I am not sure I want to risk being mauled by a bear.

I was surprised how inexpensive it was for my Dragon trip in 2015, lots of fun for little cost.

I personally would never camp in those woods. There is way too many wild animals in that area and with my eating habits I would surely attract them to my tent. lol
