Incursio

We had been looking at RVs for a long time, focusing mostly on class B versions.  Class B RVs are on van chassis and stay within the van footprint, as a result the Class B RVs are very manageable compared to their larger siblings.  Most Class B can be driven in cities, parked in normal spots, and genarraly fit into tighter situations than you would ever consider for a much larger Class A or Class C ( when most people think of RVs they are usually envisioning Class A or C ). We decided on a 2017 Winnebago Travato .  We chose the 59g floorplan and waited for the 2017 1/2 models to come out with their few nice mid-year improvements. Continued after the jump!

After an extended hiatus, I have decided to start ranting again.  I'll be sharing info about our stuff and our wandering and doing.  We are back in the northwest.  More to come!

East Memphis (White Station area) and Germantown are supposed to be real nice areas, at least that what the real-estate agents say.  So in a followup to my post yesterday about the Wolf River Greenway and it's problems with access and connectivity, I thought I might share a couple images.

Out in east Memphis and northwest Germantown they have some greenway bike+ped paths along the Wolf River , called the Wolf River Greenway.  It is pretty nice, and I have ridden my bicycle along it's entirety.  It is still somewhat in two main sections, the Memphis section in the west and the Germantown section in the east.   The ultimate plans are to have them all linked together and connected to some other areas as well, although those plans seem like they might be a while to completion (if ever). My thoughts on the Wolf River Greenway are mixed.

Memphis area folks, if you are in need of some hardware help - you should check out the super friendly folks at Gate City hardware . I needed some chrome whatnots and doo-dads for my motorcycle, and these sorts of things are tough to come by in a retail fashion.  Sure you can order anything online - but that won't help you if you need to experiment.

For those of you thinking on relocating to Tennessee be forewarned that Tennessee does not have a "Department of Motor Vehicles" per say. They have a Drivers Services division of the Tennessee Department of Safety.  This is where you get your Tennessee drivers license. Each county (Tennessee has 95 of them) has a County Clerk.  That is where you register your vehicles. The state also has a Department of Revenue division which is where you have to go to get a temporary tag for a vehicle if for any reason there is a problem with any paperwork when you try to title or register a vehicle. Some cities and jurisdictions in the state have vehicle inspections, which can be either emissions testing or safety inspections, or both.  This testing varies by jurisdiction, which could be a city or a county.  Testing requirements also vary by jurisdiction (some times by neighborhood within the jurisdiction) regarding which vehicles need which inspections. Oh, OK.  BUT NONE OF THEM
