Coffee table book
Vlad you do more exploring with your RV than anybody I ever heard of.  And all your travel stories have great photos to boot.  You have the makings of an outstanding coffee table type full color travel /motivational book. Just skimming through a few pages would be enough to get me in the shop. Every time you post another story it's a reminder of what I'm missing. 
Can't wait to read about your next Vladventure.

Thanks Rich. On the list...

I love Florida but couldn't afford to go there every weekend. After 2022 maybe

Just a quick question, how do you get your RV to start, given what looks like very cold conditions.
Cheers

It's the whole system of tricks Eddie to start it below zero. I don't have neither primer nor preheater. If oil drops from the dipstick while I check the level I know I could start. I won't post the sequence because it's not a common and recommended practice. Some even tell me it's harmful for journals. If my battery can turn a blade or two I am good. Just need a little time, gentler touch on the controls and a magic word

NAS Wildwood. Today all Navy!
To get to museum #2 I used notable landmarks. Passed dormant SixFlags amusement park. Navy kids love it!
Stables where Navy feeds fat dirigibles.
Built bankrupt building. Why? Because Navy officers don't gamble as much as they did before. Where are the golden days of casinos?
Lucy the Elephant. It relates to Navy somehow...
Coast Guard chopper in a navy-like exercise.
After landing I was greeted by a herd of caribou.
Two turns later here I am at NAS Wildwood in Cape May NJ.
The Museum is open. It has huge attendance during summer months. Cape May is a popular family vacation spot. But today I am the only visitor.

Well, how to get back and still look like Navy? The skies are getting wetter but the downpour starts in three hours. Trip back takes 30 minutes and I stretched it to 55.
Simulated engine out somewhere in the marshes. Boy that appendix is full of surprises and it's two times longer then a carrier deck.
Somewhere here they are building new boat for Sig600. Another Navy engineer I know flies a loaded RV calls it a Cornfield Cruiser. I stayed under his frying pan just in case.
Feeding grounds of Navy birds. I don't want to be down there.
Rain started earlier then forecasted. Time to retreat. Time for Margaritas

Nice
Hey Vlad,
Great pics and write-up. I was just at Cape May airport, but didn't have time to tour the museum. Thanks!
Tom
