Saddle Up Anyway!

Hey Travelers, I think it was John Wayne who said, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” I know that’s what RVing is all about because the truth is, sometimes RVing scares me to death. I feel a little nervous…

The Ducks Will Get You

Hey Aspiring RVers, One of the most bizarre RV incidents we experienced was when a full-grown turkey smashed though our windshield near Cleveland, OH. Since then, I’ve had a healthy respect for the Butterballs, but they are not the fowls…

Greetings from Canada…Eh?

OK this has to be quick. I’m sitting in front of a huge old monastery that some friends of ours live in…cool story. Anyway, we just got out of Canada on Sunday and are making our way to Nebraska (need to be there Friday).

We spent several days in New Brunswick, two days on Prince Edward Island, and a couple days near Halifax.

Greetings from Maine

Hey Dad,
Things are going good in the Familyman mobile. We’ve made our way north and about ready to cross into the border on our way to Sussex, NB.

Stopped today at Kennebunkport, MN and drove by the Bush summer home (Walker Point), Nice little spread but it didn’t seem like it had adequate RV parking so we didn’t drop in for lunch.

My RV list included a cabinet door that was broken a day or two before we came home, removing and having the furnace repaired, recalibrating the back awning that kept unfurling during heavy wind, removing/replacing the shower skylight (leak be gone!), and about a half dozen lesser items.
