One Year Anniversary

Today is our one year anniversary on the road. We left Richmond, Virginia on August 18th and headed first to upstate New York for a family reunion. We spent about 10days there before moving on to Massachusetts. In Mass, we toured Boston, saw a Red Sox game, and visited friends in Springfield.

September and October found us in South Carolina at the freightliner service center and on to Florida to have the inside of our motorhome remodeled. Then it was on to Texas to get our vehicles registered and become what we refer to as 'paper Texans'.
We also spent time in San Antonio and Carlsbad, New Mexico before moving on to Arizona.

We were in Needles, CA at a campground when someone coming in at night, hit our drivers side mirror and broke it. We got very lucky and found a replacement in Lake Havasu.

Thanksgiving found us in the Los Angeles area visiting with family. Christmas found us in Bakersfield again with family.

January we finally went to Quartzite to meet with the rest of our class of 2008! What a time we had!

February we spent touring around Arizona. Went to a rally and spent time in the Benson area. March found us back in Bakersfield for granddaughter's birthday and them on to Washington State.

We took our time going up through the Redwoods, the Oregon Coast and to Tacoma area visiting daughter and grandson. Spent time with friends along the Columbia River trying to catch some salmon. Didn't catch anything but had a great time anyway.

After being cold for so long, we went back to Arizona to warm up for a couple of weeks. May found us at the Grand Canyon.

Spent May and part of June on the Santa Fe Trail. What fun it was to just drive and stop wherever we could. We went from New Mexico, through Colorado and into Kansas.

The last half of June was spent in Iowa at Forest City, home of Winnabago. We had some small things taken care of.

July was spent traveling down the Mississippi River, into Illinois some times and Iowa at others.

We are now in Kentucky and have spent time in the Mammoth Cave area and now in Daniel Boone area of Cumberland Gap.

We have had a great time in our travels, but have decided to slow down. October will find us in Coffeyville, Kansas working at Amazon.com for the holiday season. Then on to Arizona to meet up with friends. The rest of year 2 is in chalk...so stay turned!!
