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.

Repair time

We had two HitchHikers with brake problems.  Here's Mike (in the shadow under his HH) and Don repairing a broken wire to one of his brakes.  On the other side of the park there was another crew working on Ron & Roberta's HH with a missing hydraulic line to one brake.  Wonder how long he was without trailer brakes?  Both were successfully repaired so we decided to go to Classic Burger for lunch.

We put Don to work with a game of F350 vs F450 tug of war.
Then it seems Mel's F450 decided to remain in reverse, so it was taken to the Ford dealer a couple blocks away.  Less than an hour later he was back on the road.  We were at the Ford dealer earlier that morning getting three minor issues repaired under warranty.

Camp Verde

Even though the rally has ended many are sticking around a few more days.  Here's the guys happy hour, the ladies were circled behind the trailer.


One afternoon 20 of us  went to Camp Verde for a very nice lunch.  This is the site where in 1857 the local US Army post experimented with camels.   



Every class has a clown.

Greening up, bluebonnets, bloody maries, & BBQ dinner


As you can see in these pictures the rain and warm sunshine lately has been making the leaves pop out.


Here's some of the local bluebonnets.

One afternoon someone suggested a bloody mary party, everyone agreed!


On the last night we had a catered BBQ dinner and it was pretty good!
As you can see some of the old farts have trouble getting away from their smart phones just like their grand kids.

Here's Stan & Connie who put the rally together.  At the white elephant gift exchange Ron and Roberta ended up with our gift and we ended up with theirs!
