My wife & I are both 82 and we camped this last summer. We did not take any long trips but restricted ourselves to places within a one day drive of home. I hope next summer to be able to take a three day trip going and coming but we will have to wait and see. Just stay off the Intrstates and take your time without trying to see how far you can go in a day. 300 to 350 absolute tops and stop by 4 and you have time to relax and enjoy yourself. Tom
Dear "Tom & Virgin..."
That's remarkable at 82! You'll probably have to amend your ID after another night or two in your TT.
I'm thinking other things just get in the way, and one doesn't go out for a while, and that becomes the end of it. I'd doubt that anyone plans to stop, but it just happens. A medical procedure slows one down, the plan is to get started again, then something else happen... next thing you know, it's been a long while and you think maybe it's time to stop.

We camp with a couple that are 80 and they made the Oregon Gathering from Florida in 06 and kept going for the rest of the summer. You know what Yogi said, "It ain't over till its over"

I'll be pulling my trailer or driving an RV of some sort until they take my drivers license away. My family has a history of good health and most have driven well in to their 90's.....so that's what I'm looking forward to. Another 25 years plus unless God Forbide I get tired of it.
Hey, if I were to come into several million dollars I'd be jet setting around the world. Camping would be on the side burner until I used up the millions, then I'd hitch my little Scamp and away I'd go.

Just projecting ahead, trying picture myself hooking up the trailer and going out camping when I'm 80+
I know someone in another camping club that hires a "youngster" to deliver his rig to the campground of his choosing and set it up for him. Then the kid retrieves it when he's through...
