A Thank you to all our co-pilots
I have posted this before, so please bear with me, I just wanted to allow the new people on the forum to read it.
When traveling our highways and by-ways, a co-pilot is a must, the many complex city exchanges, merges, ramps, and approaches, (yes San Antonio, I am talking about you), are quite simply mind boggling.
Where would we be without our co-pilots?
When we need a coffee refill, need to know how many miles it is to the next bladder break, or would like a Fig Newton from that out-of-reach cookie package, we rely again on our co-pilots.
When making camp and maneuvering into our space, there they are, flashlight in hand, making sure we don’t back over another picnic table.
Close the end of our traveling day, she sits with the lap top, Trailer Life directory, Next Exit, Cell Phone and Wal*Mart Atlas, all balanced on her lap, deciding where we are to stay, how much the rates are, and if they have cable, and Wi Fi.
On long trips, our co-pilots keep us alert, listen to our stories they probably have heard many times, and calm us when we rant and rave about careless drivers, when we run into heavy traffic.
I dedicate this Homage to my sweet wife and co-pilot; Sue. I shall endeavor to be all that she thinks I am.

Amen to that!
Maybe the GPS will give them a break!

My wife and I are a team when on the road -- we share driving and co-pilot responsibilities --
When we made the decision to buy our fifth wheel - we decided we both needed to drive -- sometimes I have to wrestle the wheel from her ..
IMHO - it's the safest way to Travel

Ozz you are right. It would be hard without a co-pilot.

Dear Ozz, and you are a dear, you have just given your lovely, wonderful wife the best Valentine's Day present of all--a heartwarming, loving, and public acknowledgement of her worth to you. Bless your heart!
Sue, I have no doubt that you deserve every sentiment Ozz expressed. I hope that we can meet you guys one day soon!

Vickie is my co-pilot whenever we travel, with or without the trailer, and it makes traveling so much easier. We enjoy working as a team. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the tribute, Ozz.
Maybe we need to chip in and buy Ozz a cowboy hat so he'll look the part of a cowboy poet.
