Linda The weather was so lousy and we've been to Wall Drug so many times, we just hunkered down at the campground. Tonight we're in Mitchell and we're also not going to go see the corn palace. Been here several times. And I'm fighting a cold so staying home.

Striper Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey Guys, Good to see that some of the group is on the move. LOL Hope Sandie is over her cold by now though. That said, sure don't hear much from the group anymore. Have been thinking about everyone a bit lately and wondering what everyone is up to. Also wondered if anyone has heard anything of Denise? Seems she just dropped off, and out, of everything a while back. Current plans have me in the Yuma area sometime this winter. Lots of short trip going on for us but mostly up here in the PNW.  Joe Quote Joe The "Doghouse" 04 Tiffin Phaeton 40TGH TOAD--2008 Dodge Dakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaverworks Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 We are hanging around Ohio until after the Christmas Holidays. Chancy I know but our daughter is expecting our first grand child and we want to be here for the BIG EVENT. We are reducing the amount of travel we normally do and most likely won’t venture West of Houston this winter. We’ll miss seeing the gang in Arizona. Safe travels everyone!

soos Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey Joe, sadly i believe Denise died a couple of years ago. I think I remember hearing that. we are on the east coast doing genealogy for the summer- almost time to start the long trek to AZ!

Sandie & Jim Posted September 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sue is right - Denise died from her brain cancer last year. I'm feeling much better but I can't get rid of the stupid cough. I think it's all the humidity in the air that I'm not used to. It was 99 percent this morning here in Celina, OH. And foggy. Went to the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum today. We're still headed east. Won't make the westward trek til November. Jim has a race car to drive in Atlanta the end of October.

I still have my motorhome, but its use is part time these days. Still have my summer base camp in the mountains of Colorado. I bought a live aboard sailboat and have spent the last 2 winters sailing around the Bahama islands. Living on a boat is not all that different from RV living, just a different mode of propulsion.

Sandie & Jim Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Motorcycle races here at the fairgrounds tonight. Definitely loud. Went to a great museum today - the Bicycle Museum of America. It was really fascinating to see all the different bikes. They have over a thousand but only rotate about 300 of them to see at a time.

palamine Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 We are back from a short, but long trek half way across the country to see our daughter and her family. Nice seeing the family but we were just so anxious to be back in our new digs that we raced back. Putting the motor home in dry dock until at least January. Anyone heading this way, or close by, come visit before the snow flies. Apparently we don't get much snow in Summerland. Quote Doug and Toni Laird 2008 Gulfstream BT Cruiser 30' 2014 Nissan Versa Our newest furfriend - Zoe - a beautiful black and white cat Our blog - http://stixandbrix.blogspot.ca    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie & Jim Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I love quirky little museums and we found a couple today in Logan, OH. The pencil sharpener museum and the washboard museum. The washboard museum was in a factory where they actually make washboards and you get a tour. Lots of fun.

Yup, quirky museums tend to be my favorites, too. But, after all these years of living in Minnesota I have still never been to the Spam Museum. What is it about not doing the tourist things close to home? Is it because you can do them anytime so they never get to the top of the list?

Lived in Denver area nearly 40 years and didn't visit the Coors Brewery until after we sold the house and just before we headed out fulltiming. Still haven't been in the Colorado state capitol building either. I went skiing twice while I live there and the last time was the mid 80's. I'm sure there was other touristy stuff we just never got around to. LOL! Travel safe everyone. Jeff  😊 GO BRONCOS and ROCKIES!!!!!!!!

Sandie & Jim Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 We are in Fredericksburg, VA and settled for a week at the Moose. We will be visiting family as well as doing some sight seeing while we're here. Then we move down to the Richmond area. Got wet yesterday while hitching and unhitching but still not really having fall weather. Not much color in the trees yet.

It's my experience that if we have a lot of rain the trees go right from green to brown. No color to admire.

Sandie & Jim Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I didn't know how to get the Lavins picture on here so Linda and Dave helped me out. We had breakfast with them this morning and had such a fun visit. They are doing really good and are happy to be off the road. They just got back from an Alaskan Cruise and have already booked their next cruise to the Caribbean. Living the good life.
