Current events having second thoughts

[Can_t_Wait_Now]

We are preparing for a weeks vacation in Myrtle Beach State park in next few weeks. I am concerned now more than ever for the safety of my family and wonder if I should even leave as all of my resources are here if something horrific would happen. This will be our first long distance trip since camping and normally we are no more than 2 to 3 hours away from home. Anyone else feeling some anxiety on travelling right now .

JUst left MB had a fantastic time. Best part is my TV was not on so I had no idea of the insanity going on.
As others have mentioned turn off the TV and go camping

I don't know where you are in PA, but Myrtle Beach is going to be as safe as anyplace else. If you are worried, just stay out of crowded "Gun Free" zones and you will be as safe as you would be anywhere else that wasn't a crowded "Gun Free" zone.

This all reminds me of the statistician that found that most accidents happen within 25 miles of home, so when he went anyplace, he would drive like a madman to get past that 25 mile mark.....

Despite what the media wants you to believe, the country is not falling into anarchy and chaos. Like someone else said, tune out the news and enjoy your RV (and life in general). Myrtle Beach is a great destination. Traveling from PA there are some sketchy spots off of I-95 but if you plan properly you can avoid them.

Like I said "We had lunch in BR today." We know where the protesters are and avoid those areas. If you go looking for trouble you will find it. Even had someone from my hometown arrested in BR night before last. He has a criminal background a mile long. Any self respecting protest would ask him to leave. People like him give protesters a bad image.

My feeling is that violence is pretty random and unpredictable and always has been. For example, I could stay home and get shot in the Walmart parking lot or even more likely have a crash on the corner near my house. Also, make a list of 50 bad things likely to happen to you and you would find that being injured or killed by terrorists or in a riot while RVing would be way way low on the list below illness, flood, auto accident, etc. Of course I would avoid areas where demonstrations, etc. are planned.

They also win if you get shot, so it's wise to be careful.

I live in Los Angeles right in the middle of earthquake country. I feel safer when I get out of town.

I did figure that out... eventually. At first I thought it was some play on 'redneck'.
