xnman Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Right now... we are in Florida. Will be here probably until April 2015 because of tests and dr apts and such. But if thats what it takes.... We have not traveled much this year because of doctor, etc. We bought a car because of all the travel to the doctors... and am keeping milage for taxes.... which isw going to be alot... we have traveled over 6,000 miles already... to go back and forth to Orlando... But we do miss traveling. We had planned to go to CA, OR and WA this year and up into Vancouver.... and then cruise to Alaska... Until we went to the doctors. Humph! Hey.... wish the best for you guys. Will try to plan meeting when we get back on our feet.

sandsys Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey Jim & Sandie...... Just wanted you guys to know the Logans are alive well and kicking still. 2014 has been a bit tough on us.... I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March.... we decided to go through radiation therapy... which I just finished.... and am waiting to start tests all over again. But as the man said after he jumped out of the 10th story window....and passed the 9th floor...."So far so good"! But life is good and we are learning to enjoy each and every day to the fullest. It is amazing how life changes when your doctor says, "You have cancer". We bought a different truck, new fifth wheel.... and a car, booked a cruise and are now planning trips for this month and next month. But thanks to all for the well wishes and prayers and cards. People are great!!! Good to hear you are doing well now. I hope life continues to go well for you.

soos Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey everyone, Last year Paul and I, plus a few others attended the Lake Havasu Winter Blast-its basically a fireworks competition/convention. We had a great time and just booked for next year, if anyone is interested in joining us, the more the merrier. Steve and Carol and Mike and Julie will be there as well. It starts Feb. 11- and goes to the morning of the 16th. Its dry camping, nothing fancy, $100 total for I think 5 nights. If you decide to come, use Porter as the Group Name so they park us together. Here's the link for the sign up form, let me know if you have issues. https://havasufof.we.../2015-fireworks Sue Quote Sue and Paul- fulltimed 2009 -2015 with Dozer, our Gray Tuxedo cat 2012 DRV Mobile Suites 36TKSB4 pulled by a 2020 F350 Platinum Our "vacation home" : 2018 Arctic Fox 1150 truck camper RIP Dozey http://soos-ontheroad.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsimpson Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 We are in Heber City, UT, until Oct. 14. Just avoiding the heat further south in AZ and enjoying the beautiful fall colors on the mountains all around us. Heber is just on the other side of the Wasatch Range from Salt Lake City, UT. We will probably stop in Page, AZ, because we love Lake Powell. Then will be in Tucson for the winter. We just missed a few fellow SKPs! Sounds like eveyone had a great summer.

xnman Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Hello all of the class of 2008-2009. Well this year has been a bust for us. Since 2009, we averaged putting about 30,000 miles a year on the truck and trailer. This year (2014) we put about 200 miles total on rig. We bought a car because of our "stationariness". (New word for Webster... Ha means the art of being stationary and getting weary about it.). All the stationary was due to health issues. Which hopefully the doctors will give us a clean bill of health here in Oct-Nov and we can hit the trails again. OOh to see the sights this great nation has to offer. God has created some majestic places! But we are getting "itchy" feet and winter is coming upon us. So come Spring... we hope to bust out for new horizons. And on the good side.... we did "sneak" in a 7 day cruise this year. I highly recommend you all think about doing a cruise. Fantasic relaxation. Them doctors can't stop us altogether!!! Ha. Wonder if those "sea miles" count as travel? lol I knew a man, died at 89, that never went to a doctor after he got out of Navy. He said "doctors are for dying. You go to the doctor, they find something wrong with you and you die." He got out of Navy when he was 26, and for 63 years, he never went to the doctor. DW and I tried to get him to go to doctor... we lost. I turned 67 and I can't get away from doctors. They just keep on with me. I told my doctors, "Life it too good to keep on coming to see you. Let's get this over with before you kill me." I am thinking there may be something to what my friend said. I wish you all well in your travels. P.S. We are stuck in Florida. And are thankful. Guess there are worse places to be stuck for the winter.

Sandie & Jim Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 xnman - know what you mean about those doctors tying you down. This is the first time in a couple of years that we've actually been able to go anywhere. Hope you are getting the medical stuff out of your life so you can get out there and explore some more of this beautiful country.

sandsys Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 My doctor is not really happy with me but she let me go because I am currently headed to Durham, NC, where there are LOTS of good medical facilities. And I will be living on a campus with many daily interactions which she thinks I need. I'm too tired to write more now but will blog about all this one of these days.
