...Rolling in a RV - Wheelchair Traveling... (Added 1/4/12) " We've been fulltiming since 1993. Traveling in an RV became a long term goal of ours after we spent a year on the road in 1976 with our 4 year old daughter. We settled down and got to work saving money. Both of us had jobs and we also bought houses and apartment buildings which we remodeled , rented and eventually sold. It was a lot of work for a modest profit not at all like the infomercials on TV portray it! :D In the spring of 1993, our daughter was in college , we put our house up for sale and loaded the RV. On the road at last! We were young , I was 39 and Tony was 42 , so we didn't have any income such as pensions or social security checks. Our savings would not last until social security kicked in so our plan was to workcamp , volunteer and pick up jobs whenever we felt the need. I had my journeymen electrician license and Tony had a class C driver's license so we we're pretty confident that we wouldn't have a problem getting short term work.
Then in Oct. of 1993 I was in an accident which damaged my spinal cord and I am now in a wheelchair permanently. After about eight month of hospitals and rehab centers we were ready to get back to our lives. Our new handicapped motorhome was finished in Oct. 1994. We got back on the road!"

Wandering America (Added 11/26/11) "Hi, we are Darrell and Judy Patterson. In July of 2006 we began living and traveling with our two adorable ragdoll katts (Katie and Alex) in our 2006 38' Cedar Creek Custom fifthwheel towed by a GMC Sierra Duramax Diesel. The purpose of this blog is to keep our family, friends, and blog visitors informed as to where we are, where we have been, and where we plan to be next. Our blog entries will include some history, facts, folklore, and unique stories about the places that we visit. Some of the entries will be written by Katie and Alex so be ready to have your "whiskers" tickled as they can be quite mischevious and look for fun wherever we go.

LightCurve on the Road (Added 11/17/11) From his "About Us" - LightCurve is the name of my design and photo business.

We travel fulltime, taking pictures, shooting films and playing on the computer and internet. We live full-time in a motor home, connected via satellite, to TV and Internet. I love nature and the great outdoors right along with watching Television and movies, playing video games, taking pictures and surfing the net.

In the fall of 2006 we decided to semi retire and move to the country. We bought 11 acres in south Georgia where we could live in the country and be surrounded by nature. We call this our "Halfway House." This is a stopping off point on our journey to becoming fulltime rv'ers. Next step-sell the house and travel full time in our motor home. The house is currently on the market and then we'll be living and traveling full time in our motor home. The "next step" started on June 2, 2011 when we closed on the house and became official fulltimers." Lots of information & photos of Florida campgrounds.

Check out our "4-2-4-2" page for all the details. Our first home on wheels was a 30' Arctic Fox 5th wheel we called "Plan B." We bought the rig while living in the Florida Keys and used it as our hurricane evacuation rig, thus the name "Plan B." If you want to learn more about it, simply click on our Plan B link. In December 2010, we upgraded the fifth wheel to a 2011 Cameo 35SB3 by Carriage. At 35 feet, the new fifth wheel affords more space and is a real fulltime rig.

We travel in a 27 foot long Outback travel trailer pulled by a Dodge one ton diesel, dually. We also carry a Harley Davidson motorcycle for exploring and just plain fun! Our companions include June.

I enjoy doing genealogy and would love to one day be able to travel all over the country doing Family Tree research. One day I hope to go fulltime in the motorhome. I cannot think of a better way to see this great country that is called the United States of America. I feel there is so much history and sights to see...and we never take the time to explore and see them because of time constraints. What better way to see America than to be able to take as much time as you like to go from one place to another without having to worry about being at a certain spot by a certain date...and being able to do this in the comforts of "your own home". I love the idea of having my own kitchen, my own bed and my own living area with me at all times!"

So we sold our home and most all of our stuff and began a journey of simplification.

Mountainborn Chronicles (Added 3/8/10) "Deep in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, Mountainborn lives the ancient hunting lifestyle of his forebearers, while blending modern technology into his mountainer’s daily activities.

Mountainborn’s Grandmother worried about her grandson while he was away in the military. She wrote a widely published poem about him titled MOUNTAINBORN, the name stuck. He longed for those misty mountains, while overseas, but the ancient lifestyle was the thing that he missed the most. There was just something about roaming those remote mountains with a gun and a dog that he constantly dreamed of. His descriptions of the Ouachita mountains and hunting to provide for his family constitute the MOUNTAINBORN CHRONICLES. Currently serving as Chief of Police, Larry Harmon lives with his wife Betty and retired drug dog Dillon at the foot of Cross Mountain, near Vandervoort, Arkansas.The MOUNTAINBORN CHRONICLES is dedicated to the memory of CLARA GANDY ANDERSEN.His Grandmother taught him to dream beyond the Mountains that surrounded him."

We started by flying out west and renting a class C from Cruise America, we would pick a state, rent the RV, then take a two week vacation to travel and see the sights. After five years of doing this we decided that this is what we wanted to do but on a larger scale so in 2003 we ordered a new Georgie Boy Landau class A Motorhome. Prior to retirement we have travel the New England area as much as we could, and during these five years I have made many changes and additions to the Motorhome to make it more of a personal home for us. We are now ready for our next adventures into our new life and hope you enjoy reading about our travels."

We began a life on the road nine years ago after walking away from a conventional suburban life, in search of a better one.

No schools, no rules, no alarm clocks....Welcome to my life." Their blog starts in March 2006.

We go home to Georgia as often as we can to spend time with family and catch up with friends. I call myself a wannabe photographer, and try to take some photos every day. Some days I get something good, other days it is just practice. Other things I do to keep myself from going crazy are quilting, sewing, soapmaking, fishing, selling things on ebay, and cooking. My husband, Jim, and I love to try out the local foods wherever we may be. We like to shop the small produce stands for farm fresh fruits and veggies. Who knows, we may be in your town tomorrow!"
