I have been wanting to write a post giving an update and status of our ongoing transition to RV/Motorhome living and I have found it more difficult than I expected. Perhaps because our transition included more than becoming full time "RVers"; it's retirement, selling our home, and being away from family and friends in Michigan …
We have been in the Raleigh/Apex, NC area for a couple of weeks now waiting the arrival of our third granddaughter. We have enjoyed the family time, and opportunity to explore the area and go back to some favorite places we've been to during previous visits. The late October early November weather has been very …

We arrived in North Carolina about a week ago. Great to be near family again as we wait for the arrival of our granddaughter (Cheryl and Darren are both doing fine). We will be here until the end of November or so; it feels good to stay put for a while. Arriving at Jordan Lake …

Waco TX - The drive to Waco turned into a little bit of an adventure due to the congested and construction riddled Fort Worth area on I-35W. Between narrowing lanes and multiple road interchanges, we both had to be on our toes. I think it would be difficult to maneuver the Motorhome through an area …

Lots to see and do in the Colorado Springs area. It’s feeling more like Fall as we wrap up our time in Colorado. We stayed at a park just south of Colorado Springs, in Fountain, Colorado. Nice park with full hook ups. We have noticed the crowds at the parks are dwindling as the weather …

Here is part two continuing the earlier post on our process of becoming full time RVers. I thought I would touch on two other topics that really went hand-in-hand. Working out our timetable and choosing our Motorhome. As far as the timetable goes, as I mentioned in the previous article, we had made the decision …
After spending almost a week in the south-central portion of Colorado and northern New Mexico, one word to sum up this area is EXTREME. Everything is pretty remote, big, and spread out. It is arid climate with little annual precipitation, warm temperatures during the day and it can get very cold at night. (One night …

We LOVE this town! Golden is a special place for us. We discovered it 41+ years ago when we were here on our honeymoon. We have been back many times and it never disappoints. Golden is located just west of Denver at the base of the front range of the Rockies, along Clear Creek. It …
Well, this area of South Dakota got our respect and attention! The southwest portion of the State had a lot to offer and we really enjoyed our time there. We think Custer State Park rivals many National Parks. Full of nature at its’ best, interesting landscape, wild animals, and great camp sites. The Park also …

We made it to Badlands National Park in western South Dakota late Friday (9/8) after a three day drive and a little over 1,200 miles. It was a good trip, everything went very well. We were happy with the way the RV traveled towing the car and it felt comfortable. Badlands National Park is in …
