Lots of people thought we were crazy and still don't understand but a few are actually very envious but can't let go of their stuff. But that's OK since finding campsites is getting more and more difficult with each year.

We were reminiscing one New Years Eve about where we were last year at this time.....our house was sold, we were living in a rental, and counting the Mondays until we were on the road. At that time we had 10. We were loading what we were taking in totes, purging and planning our first couple of weeks on the road......Now you only have 11!!!!!!!<br /><br />Now 10 months later it still seems surreal but we are living our dream! Hang in there, it will be here before you know it!Jim and Barb's Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552315333349717925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-86809267264742347982015-01-03T18:11:26.583-08:002015-01-03T18:11:26.583-08:00Sometimes by posting goals it helps us keep to tho...Sometimes by posting goals it helps us keep to those goals.
