So there we were, Sash and I, spending the night in our RV, at a rest area off Interstate 5 in Central California, with semi-trucks next to us, and the sound of cars speeding by along the super-slab. For most RVers, this isn’t camping. And that would be correct, it’s not camping. It’s just...
A week ago we left 99 West Trailers in Sherwood, OR, and headed south towards Southern California for winter. The folks at 99 West had done some upgrades and fixes that we had been wanting, including new vent fans, new awning, a second air conditioning unit, new water pump, and replaced a broken window...
I dropped Sash off at O’Hare International Airport last Friday (today’s Sunday). She’s in Anchorage, AK by now, visiting clients there. I’ll be on my own for three weeks. By then, I will pick up her at the airport in Portland, OR. I’ll be towing the trailer through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,...
The 1st Annual ATC Toy Hauler Rally was held in Bremen, Indiana, from August 9-11, 2018. Turns out, it was a huge success, on many levels. The rally was located in Pla-Mor Campground, which is about a few miles outside of Nappanee, the headquarters for ATC (Aluminum Trailer Company). ATC paid for the campground,...
Late afternoon winds finally picked up, bringing with it a 15-degree (F) temperature drop from the low-90s that had lingered for much of the day. A dark grey loomed to the west. The smell of rain could just barely be detected following behind the flocks of ducks pushing east towards Nebraska. Our trailer sat...
As of this writing it’s been 93 days since Sash and I last spent an evening in an RV Park. As full time RVers, we’ve made a commitment to not stay in them, and instead stay for free on BLM lands, National Forest lands, or other free, public areas. That is, if we can...
The last few reviews of Cabela’s in Lone Tree, Colorado posted on FreeCampSites.net seemed to reflect the same sentiment across the greater Denver metro area, that RVing in the Mile High City is not welcome… Though they have no problem with overnight parking, the city council of money grubbing politicians do not allow overnight...
At one point, Sash asked me why I wanted to move out of a building and live on the road. I answered that I liked the feeling of running away. Her response suggested she was puzzled, and went on to say that she wanted to do this to see America. I guess, I was...
There’s an old saying in politics… Perception is 90% of reality. I looked back on 2017, not just my personal life, but everything I experienced in the places I visited, the people I met, even the articles I read and the videos I watched. I came away with two things… I really love being...
Sunbeam Lake RV Resort, which is located in Seeley, CA, just off Interstate 8, was the place Sash and I had chosen for a two-month stay to sit out of the rest of 2017. The price seemed right, $520.00 a month, with electricity extra, and plenty of space at each site. It also put...
