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.

Made it!

No thanks to the wind but we did make the 180 mile drive into the wind in 3 hours.  Thanks Mom Nature for 7.6 mpg today!  Good thing diesel is cheaper in MO & KS than back in MI.  After cooling down we did a cheap lunch at McDonalds then went to NuWa to check out a specific new trailer for a friend.  We sent him the spec sheets and lots of pictures.  Not only has it been very windy but it's very HOT too.  It's 7:45pm and down to 90 right now.  We have spent the afternoon inside the air conditioning and expect that will be the case for the week as it's forecast to be in the mid 90s all week.

Higginsville, MO


We planned on stopping in Columbia, MO today but with the forecast for winds of 20 to 30 and gusts to 40mph Monday & Tuesday we decided to push a little further today in good (next to none) winds.  The Great Escape CG in Higginsville was very convenient to I70 and had FHU (full hook ups) so we could empty our tanks before Chanute.  But, at $28 is overpriced.  Time for more diesel, last fill up was in Dundee last Thursday. 
NASCAR even smiled of me by delaying the MI race (rain) until we set up, good job Jr!
