I rotated the tires tonight after diner, it’s the one thing I’ve done in prep for this trip. My wife has done about everything else.

Tomorrow drive to Gattlingburg, TN area. Stay there Friday & Saturday nights. Then on to Holden beach, NC until next Sunday. I can't wait to drink a beer on the beach.

That’s a big driveway

Too bad it’s a hill.

3 cars wide, 2 deep and that covers the sidewalk. I can fit a 16' box truck in the driveway & not cover the sidewalk.

I don’t even shovel the snow off any more. Too much work & it’ll be gone in about 10 days usually anyway.

Be safe, the IIHS crash test on this model is scary...

Your wheel’s missing.

31 pumps of the Jack to get it high enough to put the stands under the trailing arm suspension thing.

Oh, that the front wheel, it's there, just not on. Someone put the rear wheel in the front last time. It was correct when I was done.

My parents have a similar Grand Caravan and love it. It’s comfy, quiet, great for trips. The wife and I are looking for a mini van but their quality/reliability/etc ratings have us looking at Sedonas

You must be from Ohio.

Holden Beach is a cool place. I’m from Wilmington, right up the coast.
