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.

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 …

We are grateful for family support during our transition. With great pride, we acknowledge our family. We consider ourselves blessed and fortunate beyond our dreams to have three great children (Dan, Cheryl and Beth) who are grown and married to wonderful people (Christie, Darren and Kevin), 2 granddaughters (Anna and Megan) and another one on …
Our passion for travel goes way back. I took long car trips with my parents from a young age and trips “out west” and the National Parks especially made a lasting impression.
