Well on Thursday, December 3, we closed out our month in Gulf Shores, AL (see previous post.) Carol and Brian took the Jeep and headed north. Brian has his final Eagle Scout Board of Review next Wednesday, and Carol wants to see Jake and Dann, and visit with other family. As all RV Parks in…

31 days in Gulf Shores, Alabama
Thursday, 12-3-2015, we rolled out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. We’d stayed here for an entire month, which is the longest we’ve sat still since we moved into the bus in July. We had mail and other stuff shipped to us there. We made friends. We established favorite restaurants. It was almost like a home! We…
We Are Now Florida Residents!!!

Plus Seven
Day seven of our full time journey… It’s getting more real, slowly. We’ve been full time Rvers for a week now, but still cleaning up “former life details” in the Chicago area. Yesterday was a big day. We finally closed and sold the house (Yay!) And I sold my jeep. Not sure how I feel…
Kwikee Step Rebuild
Jim’s turn, and I like to do the techie stuff. At 6 years old, our front entry steps are looking kinda beat. After dragging them thru a ditch outside of Silverton, Colorado a few years ago, followed by a roadside repair, they don’t work as smoothly as they once did either. Here’s what we are starting with:…
