We spent five nights in Fries, Virginia at the Fries New River Trail RV Park. We came here because I would be speaking at Fries Baptist Church. Fries is a very small town with a population of under 500. Its main street runs parallel to the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the … Continue reading FRIES, VIRGINIA

FULL-TIME RVING PART 2
We did it! Wednesday (4/20/22) at 10:32 AM we rolled out on our second chance at full-time RV living. After an eighteen-month hiatus, we are back on the road again. If you read this blog regularly you know we had to leave the road due to a serious health issue. Just a little over a … Continue reading FULL-TIME RVING PART 2
Medical Considerations for Full-Time RVers
We stopped full-timing eighteen months ago. We left the road for medical reasons. But now, due to a remarkable series of events, we are moving back into the RV again in a couple of weeks and resuming the journey. You can watch me tell the story here. Our experiences have taught us a few things, … Continue reading Medical Considerations for Full-Time RVers
GETTING READY TO GO
We are filled with excitement to be returning to full time RV living. But the doing of it is quite daunting. Mary and our daughter Melissa moved out of our 5th wheel just about one year ago. I was busy trying to die in the hospital. It is surprising how much stuff you can accumulate … Continue reading GETTING READY TO GO
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!
A little over a year ago we stopped full time RVing. We had been fulltiming a little over a year when I had a medical emergency which knocked us off the road. (You can read the details of the medical emergency in The Unexpected Journey in earlier posts on this blog.) We could not foresee … Continue reading WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!
HOW WE BOUGHT A MOTOR HOME
Early on during my health crisis (you can read about it in my blog posts The Unexpected Journey) we didn’t think we would ever be able to manage our RV again. Even if I recovered, we doubted that we would be able to handle a thirty-eight-foot fifth wheel and the one-ton pickup we hauled it … Continue reading HOW WE BOUGHT A MOTOR HOME
HOW I SOLD MY RV
When you need to get rid of your RV, what is the best way to do it? If you are also thinking of getting another RV the issue is a little different than if you are just selling. We have done both. We traded in an RV when buying a different one and we have … Continue reading HOW I SOLD MY RV
THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY Part 2
It was the last week of June, 2017. We were on our bi-annual camping trip. Along with both our daughters and their families we were at the Platte River Campground in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We had been planning for months for this week. We all had arrived on Saturday. The plan for … Continue reading THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY Part 2
THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
When we retired in October of 2019, we began a journey that we knew would be filled with adventure and surprises. On our very first RV journey, back in the 90’s, we had learned this lesson. We were driving from Yellowstone National Park to Stanley, Idaho. While driving across southern Idaho, all of a sudden … Continue reading THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
WORK CAMPING
According to Workamper News, work campers are adventurous individuals, couples, and families who have chosen a wonderful lifestyle that combines any kind of part-time or full-time work or volunteering with RV camping. We had gone to Texas because I had taken a position with Christian Resort Ministries (CRM). I would be serving as chaplain for … Continue reading WORK CAMPING
