Hitting the Road

We've had the tear drop on the road again. It seems to be our obsession to spontaneously hook it up and hit the road.  Not always very far, but far enough to feel like we have been somewhere new and different.

sometimes early spring trips are very quiet

The draw to venture out comes from a desire to change scenery and just have a change of routine. There are always places to visit and new people to meet. RV travelers love to talk and share their experiences. They enjoy comparing stories good or bad. We are babies in this broad RV world and not because we  pull what could be described as a bed on wheel. Simply, we have not ventured as far a foot as the people we meet.

Mexico is not on our to see list, but we meet a couple that has pulled a trailer to Mexico for eight winters making a round trip of 6,000 miles from British Columbia. Nor have we driven to the coast of Texas like the couple we met in Hagerman, Idaho. They had one more day of hard driving with 15lbs. of frozen shrimp to reach home in Washington state. Sharing a campground with only one other traveler, afforded us the opportunity to park next to a retired school bus turned motor home. It sported a bright red paint job and Maine license plates. A long trek form Maine to Idaho.

interesting travel mode--home on wheels


There is simple and elaborate, either will get you from here to there and that is the ultimate goal. So far simple is working for us and gives us as much opportunity to explore as we choose. You'll never see us boon docking in a Walmart parking lot, but you might find us in Death Valley, along a river or in a RV resort in Nevada parked beside the 'Big Boys.' If you do we'll be sitting in our new red chairs reading or checking our email.
