Who said we couldn't be spontaneous with our plans? (I think I did.) After spending most of January in SW Florida, we originally planned to head to the panhandle around the 1st of February; but a few other opportunities came up. A few days before leaving SW Florida, Beth and Kevin were in Orlando for …

Happy New Year 2018! We spent about a month away from our RV during the holidays, leaving it in safe keeping in North Carolina. After arriving in Michigan, holiday cookie baking kicked into high gear with Megan and Anna. We appreciate the time we spent staying with Dan, Christie and girls. A quick trip to …
Meet Ellie Meredith Brown Parents: Darren & Cheryl (Johnston) Brown As many of you know by now, our granddaughter arrived November 9th. We waited patiently as she came a couple of weeks later than expected, but definitely worth the wait! Ellie Meredith is doing very well and we are enjoying a little more time here …

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 …
