A New Beginning...


Buy a motor-home, retire, sell everything, and hit the road. Sounds like the dream life and it really is a fantastic experience.

Life-long campers and outdoor nature lovers, our first encounter with the RV life was in a 28' Surveyor tag-along travel trailer we adored and used for 3 summers and long weekends before I retired from public school. Summer of 2008 we toured 16 states in 3 months. As retirement loomed closer and we discussed full-timing, we knew something roomer was required.

We purchased Clyde, a 38' Damon Intruder in April 2010. We did a few short check out trips before departing West Texas for 3 months with Florida as our winter destination. Winter of 2011 found us traveling west to Yuma AZ for 3 months. We took time away from the coach to celebrate 50 wonderful years together with a 15 day cruise to Hawaii.

Winter of 2012/2013 was another new experience. Volunteer work  for 3 months at Anahuac NWR and 3 months at Laguna Atascosa NWF in east and south Texas.

We're looking forward to a summer in Vermont at Quechee SP. Details of our journey cross country will be coming.
