Well, soon it will be fall again already. Summer went by fairly quickly, but it was a lot shorter than we had planned. The summer of 2021 for us has become the Summer of Breakdowns. Our air conditioning unit in the coach stopped working, the replacement propane regulator finally went belly-up (this was expected) and the trailer brakes stopped braking. ...

Sorry if you thought this was going to be an existential essay on the meaning of life, why mankind is put on this planet and our place in this universe, but I'm only writing today about why we're here at the Open Pond campground, and why we've stayed here for so long this winter.

We're here at the Fredonia KS airport, home of the Endless Foot Drag Fly-in. The fly-in has been postponed until the fall due to COVID-19, but we've landed here for a few days to get Michael Holliday certified as a trike instructor, take delivery of some Amazon packages and get the house closing done (well, hopefully get the closing done.

We have a new address! It's 191 Rainbow Dr #9128, Livingston Texas. If you put this in your GPS to come visit us however, we won't be there. In fact, you won't even find a house. It's a mail forwarding center and the headquarters of Escapees RV Club.

If you travel full-time in an RV, where do you live? It's something most ...

Ever since we decided to sell the house and go full-time in our RV, I've envisioned that last time we would pull out of the driveway and head down the road. Would I be smiling, looking towards exciting travels and explorations, and possibly a new home somewhere magnificent someday? Would I be shedding a few tears, sad to be leaving my childhood home ...

We've heard some RVers use something called the 3/3/3 Rule: Travel no more than 3 hours to your next destination, arrive there by 3:00, and spend a minimum of 3 nights.
