4 Years - Reno, NV

Today’s the anniversary of the beginning of our RV adventure. We have been on the road for 4 years. We still have 7 states to touch (North Dakota, Indiana, Delaware, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas). They will have to wait. With our medical issues this summer, our slow easy summer on the central coast of California was shorten a great deal. So, when we finally get to our winter digs in Santee (San Diego area) and plan next year’s adventure it may be a repeat of the coast.

We have had some very interesting times while having the adventure of our lifetime. We've seen so much and met many others on the same trail. We even met some people a couple of times at different camp grounds. The first time it happened in Spring 2009 in South Carolina, we were shocked – small world and all. But now it’s just old hat!!

Would we do it again? You bet! Will we continue? Again you bet! But we are going to slow down our summer tours – cover less ground more thoroughly. As we travel we may begin to look at the new places as possible “settling down” places. Not, that we are ready yet but this summer has shown us that complex medical circumstances require open-ended time limits for solutions.

We will be looking at the annual weather conditions with average high/low temperatures. Perfect for us is between 60-80 degrees. We know we’ll have to compromise a little on that. Cool nights/early mornings are ok but we are hoping for nicely warm days – no long pants required and only occasionally AC.

Other considerations are public transportation, movie theaters, in/near large city, etc. So, we’ll see how it all plays out as we continue RVing across America.
