The end of my story…
EXACTLY FIVE YEARS AGO. Exactly five years ago today, Florence and I took possession of our new motorhome, turned over the keys to our home in San Diego and began an adventure of discovering new people and places. Our Great American Adventure. At that time, I didn’t even know what a blog was, much less … Continue reading
My wife can repair anything!
IF IT’S BROKEN, SHE CAN REPAIR IT. I’m convinced that my wife can repair anything, so it’s time for me to write this post and pat her high! The topic is a little embarrassing for me, but here we go. If it breaks, Florence can fix it. I’ve known she was handy for years, but since … Continue reading
Two hundred thousand visitors!
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND OF YOU GUYS! By day’s end tomorrow, more than 200,000 of you guys will have visited this blog since June of 2013. That’s impressive. That’s flattering. Thank you. Let’s talk a little bit about it…the milestone, that is. IT ALL BEGAN IN JUNE, 2013. We’d decided to embark on our “Great American Adventure” about … Continue reading
Celebrating two years on the road…
JUNE 17, 2015 IS IT POSSIBLE? It hardly seems possible, but this week we’re celebrating two years of full-time travel on our Great American Adventure. Can you even believe it? When we decided to take an extensive trip in our motorhome to see the country, we didn’t really contemplate being gone more than about a … Continue reading
Where we’re headed…
MARCH 3, 2015 WE’RE GETTING ANTSY! We’ve been in the Texas Hill Country for more than four months and as much as we love it here, we’re ready to move along. The problem is we’re heading east and the weather is still too cold to allow for comfortable travel in that direction. Accordingly, we’ll remain … Continue reading
Keeping our motor-home clean on the road…
AT HOME, ALEX ALWAYS KEPT OUR MOTOR-HOME SPOTLESS. I like to keep it clean as a whistle. Before embarking on Our Great American Adventure, Alex was the answer. (He was our “ranch hand.” He and his wife and baby girl live in Tecate, Mexaco, but he lived with us during the week while he worked … Continue reading
Our roommate on the road…
DECEMBER 30, 2013. I’d be remiss if I failed to write a post about our on-board roommate, Tika. (Ted, our almost life size Christmas decoration-bear is hibernating in the basement until the holidays next year) Tika is Florence’s little 4 pound Siamese cat. She’s been with us for about 10 years. Necessity demanded that we … Continue reading
Truck stops: I love ’em…
DECEMBER 15, 2013. Truck stops fascinate me! Honest! In route to your next destination, it’s a waste of time and money to locate a campground and stay just long enough to get some sleep before you resume traveling the next day. So, the alternative is to “camp” for the night in either a Wal-mart or … Continue reading
Join us as we explore America…
WELCOME ABOARD! This is the story of our “Great American Adventure.” It’s a record of our years-long motor home journey across America. It’s my online scrapbook. My collection of trinkets. My recording of nature’s soundtrack. I want to capture here the sights and sounds of our country, the breeze across the water and the … Continue reading
