In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

In the woods at Williamsburg, VA







Today was a travel day to Virginia. It was only 170 miles but we noticed the expressway in Virginia was ruffer than any others since leaving Alabama. One bridge in particular really caused the rig to porpoise, when we arrived the only disturbance was one plant on a rear shelf was knocked over spilling some dirt on the couch & floor. When we pulled into Outdoor World we started to wonder about the park because we had to wait for a gate to open, the interior roads are narrow & in a forest, & the lady behind the desk said go find a site while leaving the rig blocking the entrance. There was no golf cart to take us around (as often is the case) and she did not advise us to wander around with a large RV in tow. The couple in front of us had a 40' motor home so they disconnected their toad and drove around. Anyway, we selected a site next to the other couple and both of us had never run into a setup like this. After zig zagging we were set up in the forest but the rooftop dish didn't lock onto the satellite for TV reception which was no surprise. An hour or so latter I was relaxing in my chair when I noticed Judy climbing up the rear ladder onto the roof. She had brought over a worker and he was sawing limbs off a tree above us and she was on the roof collecting branches. I helped pick them up and guess what.....we now have satellite reception in the forest! What a wife!! After all this we have decided we like this place after all, it's not often we are set up in the woods. We will extend our stay two more nights.
