This week on the RV podcast.

Campground thefts how to protect your gear while you're camping.

And somebody's trying to keep folks out of an Oregon National Forest,

but they're burying, can you believe, planks that are booby-trapped with nails?

How RVers can get a nice break on diesel prices.

All this, plus the RV news of the week and your questions coming up on episode 521 of the RV podcast. Hello everybody, I'm Mike Wendland, and this is my lifelong traveling companion and my bride, Jennifer, and swarming around us are gnats.

Our new friends.

And about three gazillion Japanese beetle ladybugs.

We are in the middle of the forest on our property, our RV property, at Loblally Ridge is what we call. It's part of the woodlands development near Lyndon, Tennessee.

And these hot fall days have brought out gnats, ladybugs, fire ants, scorpions.

I don't want to go any further.

That's all we've seen so far.

But it's very temporary because as soon as the weather changes, they're gone.

They haven't been here at all.

This is just kind of an aberration. The lady bugs or the

Japanese beetles or whatever there are, they swarm like this once a year. I guess they do in the

spring too when they're hatched, but holy cow, it's been a real invasion. Now I know why they call it an invasive species.

Hey, if it's the worst thing that happens to us,

so lucky we are.

Oh, as you can see, this is just a beautiful spot.

The only noise we hear right now is the wind in the Lablali Pines,

and the weather's been absolutely phenomenal.
