Steve Morris Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 7 hours ago, HDRider said: A red letter day. Where are you? Currently at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park near Live Oak, Florida, for a fiberglass camper rally with 236 trailers. Tomorrow we head to Blackwater River State Park north of Pensacola for six nights, Fort Pickens on the Gulf for another six. After that we head to north central Florida to Salt Springs National Recreation Area in Ocala National Forest for almost two weeks. A short cruise out of Jacksonville to the Bahamas, and the north to Savannah, maybe Charleston, and then home. We should be back in northern Ohio by March 1st. 5 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 “Curiosity” Facebook - Instagram Camped in Curiosity = Green —— Visited with Curiosity = Gray

jd1923 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) Steve, again congrats on your special milestone! You got me thinking, and then of course I had to count! 🤣 In 19 months, we're at only 54 nights. Still working part-time and had much maintenance and mods to do in our first year of ownership. With a week soon to Quartzsite, another 7-10 days around AZ this spring and very soon to come will be our longest trip ever to Minnesota and back, with many points between, from Memorial Day to the 4th of July! We will hit 100 before the end of this long trip, 25 months into Ollieland! Edited January 20 by jd1923 typos 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
MAX Burner Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) OK - a random idea following @Steve Morris's impressive milestone.... Back in the day when flying aboard navy aircraft carriers, it was a big deal to celebrate every 100 landings on a specific carrier and especially every 100 NIGHT landings on that particular boat. Each air wing had its own flight jacket "Centurion Patch" with the number of landings 100, 200, 300, etc. including the name of the carrier (Nimitz, Constellation, Ranger, Oriskany, etc.). The idea is we design a patch, coffee cup, hat, whatever that celebrates multiples of 100 nights in an OTT. The most coveted was the "Black Centurion" patch signifying 100 night landings. Thoughts for coming up with and designing "Oliver Centurion" swag?

You may have to make a 500 or even a Millennia badge for @ScubaRx and @Mike and Carol, just to name two, and likely for many of you out there in Ollieland! 4 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
Steve Morris Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 More important than number of nights is $/night. I’m finally under $1000! 🤪 2 1 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 “Curiosity” Facebook - Instagram Camped in Curiosity = Green —— Visited with Curiosity = Gray

We’re a bit behind Steve and Tali, we only have about 110,000 miles and somewhere around 750 nights. I’ll have to check my spreadsheet. We’ve slowed down a bit this last year or two, 92yo mother next door and daughter with 4 kids nearby has been keeping us closer to home than before.

MAX Burner Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I would suggest a different design for a 100-night, 500-night, and 1,000-night patch. Who are the graphic artists out there? HA! 1 Art, Diane, Magnus & Oscar (double-Aaarrf!) 2022 TUNDRA 2017 LE II; Hull #226 "Casablanca" HAM call-sign: W0ABX
Zodd Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I like the idea of badges. They probably need more granular steps than just those 3 (every 250?). I am still in the early phase but dreaming of the day I can start racking them up faster. 3 Todd & Kat 2023 LE ll twin, hull # 1305, Truma AC & WH, Platinum solar, Natures Head 2024 Ford F250 Lariat 7.3L gasser / 3.75, FX4
Moderators SeaDawg Posted January 23 Moderators Posted January 23 (edited) Nice idea. Maybe someone artistic will step up. I like it! We never have kept up with nights, just miles. 160k plus, and we've slowed down a lot since covid/2020. And infant grand baby, who limits my travel, but brings me daily joy, this year! We've already traveled so many places with our Oliver, and foreign camping with rented equipment. None of them compare to the smile I get every morning from my grandson.

Also, visited some friends who insisted we sleep in their house, even tho I always sleep better in #841. Those are the nights I slept in the trailer during this trip.

I imagine it would be self-reported and not an official metric we somehow track on everyone, some claim whatever badge you feel good about claiming LOL. 2 Todd & Kat 2023 LE ll twin, hull # 1305, Truma AC & WH, Platinum solar, Natures Head 2024 Ford F250 Lariat 7.3L gasser / 3.75, FX4
