Prominent display of a bumper sticker or other logo of your brand of RV, or of membership in RV.Net, or something else will give you away as one of "us."

If you remember the Beverly Hillbillies, then you know what a "California Howdy" is - I'd probably get my post deleted if I told you exactly what it is.
(something about a middle finger though............)



LOL! I thot THAT particular "Howdy" was universal!

you know it is a sad state of affairs now,, here in Texas, used to everyone you passed would just give a simple hanb up wave from the steering wheel. Everyone did it espeically out in the country,, now a days, no one waves any more and I am half afraid to, might tick off some druggie with a gun or some nut case and end up dead in the deal..

it is a shame really,, a crying shame that it has gotten so dangerous out there. And I have been waving at big trucks and RV's for a long time and I bet less than 10% ever wave back.

I sure hope it's never too dangerous to wave. Just a wave from the steering wheel makes you feel good.

Maybe some clever design type person reading this forum could design a catchy logo or come up with a furry little RV critter to park on the dash. Remember Gumby, or how about those stuffed Tazmanian Devil creatures a few years back. They stood about 7 or 8 inches tall & had a big toothy scowl. Imagine that coming down the road at ya on somebody's dash. Or what ever became of those big plastic waving hands that you could suction to your dash. How about a big Canadian Moose Salute, but that's gonna require you to take both hands off the wheel. Don't know what the moose salute is?? While in Quartzite AZ this past winter, out of frustration, I moose saluted the old north wind one day, so if your wondering what it is............check it out here )

The Moose Salute... thats just too funny...



While your photo of the Moose Salute was definitely a 10 out of 10 on the character scale, this photo here kinda has me spooked...
dude, you look like a much more hungry "Mantracker"

Cheers my friend... anytime you need a place to park and recharge in southern Manitoba give us a shout.
