This is our first winter in cold weather in our RV and we keep doing little things here and there to improve our insulation and winterizing. For the past month, we split our time at two different Colorado State Parks. Each one would not allow continuous hook up to the city water. One asked that you simply use …
Rewired
When we bought the RV it had an extra set of brake lights/turn signals installed. They are a great addition as our tow vehicle blocks the regular tail lights and signals. On our maiden voyage in June one of the lenses fell off. It was just the amber lens that was against the RV. With …
Windy, Windy, Windy
Robert and I have been in storms, since we both grew up in tornado alley, but the wind we’ve experienced for the past couple of weeks here at the foothills west of Denver is RIDICULOUS!! Gusts up to 70 miles per hour a couple of weeks ago, 50 miles per hour today! Yesterday, we moved …
Elk Taking a Rest
Today we decided to take a drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. Most of the park was closed due to snow, but we were able to have a nice drive anyway. Just as I said, “I wish we would see some wildlife,” we looked off to our left and wouldn’t you know it, a large herd …
Royal Gorge, Colorado
We have been in Colorado for two weeks now and have called St. Vrain State Park our home during that time. It’s been a very busy two weeks as I had to put in very long hours at the office I manage in Louisville. Since CO State Parks only allow 14 consecutive days of camping, …
Road Trip to Colorado
It was Thursday morning and we needed to hit the road. We really weren’t too anxious as we hadn’t even really started securing things down to have an early departure. The weather forcast was calling for heavy rain in KS and snow in Denver. We studied the map and weather predictions and decided to take …
Curtain Barrier
Last summer, when we were traveling from CO back to FL, in the extreme heat, Robert and I were discussing that we should put some sort of curtain to separate the cab from the rest of the coach to try to keep the cool air up front while we traveled. We not only used the …
Change In Plans
We have been in Missouri for the month of January for a well overdue visit with family and friends. The time seemed short and very busy. Between work and our visiting schedule, it seemed as though we didn’t have a moment to breath. Whether we would stay for a week or a month, it seems …
Getting to Missouri
The time finally came to travel to Missouri for the month of January. We had been planning this trip for three or four months and we were anxious to get on the road for a change of scenery. Although we had sold a ton of stuff at our garage sale back in September when we moved …
Time to go to Missouri
The time has finally come and we were off to Missouri. We had been planning this trip for the past three or four months. After we had downsized and moved out of our rental house, we still had some things that that we didn’t feel we could part with yet, so we rented a storage …
