Re: [a/s] traveling safely
Hi Laurie,
I'm a woman and I fulltime alone. Well, two dogs and two cats isn't quite
alone.
I stay in safe places..... campgrounds and occasionally a Walmart lot.
I never stay in highway rest stops.
I lock the door at night of course.
One other thing I do is I always put a big dog water dish right outside my
door..... I think having a dog is a safety measure.... having a dog dish
outside the door is, even if you don't have a dog. A suggestion from a woman
in RVin' Women is to put a large pair of men's boots outside the door.
I did carry a gun, I don't anymore. No need, and I could shoot one of the
dogs accidently.
I also have a cell phone and a CB. If I were to break down I would use the
cell phone NOT the CB, you don't know who could be listening in and get your
location.
I have never had a reason to be scared.... if yuo have basic street smarts
you will be fine.
