Hi, everybody. It's December 1st, 2021, and this is episode 3.73 of the RV podcast.

And this week, we're going to talk about why you need to make your 2022 camping reservations right now.

Welcome, fellow travelers. It's time for another episode of the RV podcast.

Answering your questions, sharing tips, suggesting great trips and off the beaten path adventures,

and always staying on top of the RV lifestyle news you need to know about with great interviews and inside industry information.

Here's your hosts, award-winning journalists, Mike and Jennifer Wendland.

Well, welcome, everybody. I'm Mike Wendland. This is my lifelong traveling companion and my bride,

Jennifer. And wow, one more month left in 2021 and another year of living the RV lifestyles under our belts.

And this year, better than last year for as far as getting out there traveling.

Yes, and last year was better than the year before.

And we're hoping 2022 will be better than this year.

Travels still a bit confused, particularly now in December,

as we hear all these reports of a new variant and COVID and lots of confusion out there,

but people are still traveling, although this is the quietest month of the year. People seem to

gravitate to a central area where they can

be near family and friends, and that's what we'll be doing mostly. Except we've got a trip

coming up soon. December 11th, meetup in Tennessee. Those of you who saw our video on Saturday

learned all about the land that we bought as kind of, I guess

we'd call it a base camp for our RV living. And we bought five acres of property, which we

are going to develop as sort of a little RV mini retreat, a base camp is what we're calling it. We'll put in a

pad, a circular driveway. We'll have room for a couple of guests to camp with this from time to time,

and we'll be inviting you, you know, to, we'll figure out a way we can get people there.
