JeepTrek (Added 12/26/11) Dave & Ruth have been 4 wheeling since 1971. This journal highlights their trip to Alaska in 2005 & the Yukon in 2007.
From Tumbleweeds To Tree Tops (Added 12/18/10) "Currently in the Tumbleweeds, Arizona, United States Cancer survivor and former music industry geek. I am not sure which identity was more traumatic. Reformed respectable homeowner turned minimalist, now I am a semi retired nomad. I live in a small vintage travel trailer that is set up to live very comfortably off grid when needed, but I am busy installing tech items and modifying it with geeky stuff so that when I DO have power .. I will really piss off the neighbors. I share the rig with 2 beagles and a Tabby Cat.. or I should say, they share it with me."
Expedition Great Western Circle (Added 11/17/11) A wonderful chronicle of a 2 month trip around the Western US. This is a compilation of the blog pages.
For-Camping (Added 11/17/11) From their "What is this blog about" - You know…sometimes we wonder, too, what this blog is all about. So far, we don't get many legitimate comments. We do, however, get a lot of "comment spam!" We started off, when our kids were young, tent camping all over New Hampshire and our neighboring states. Over the years, we made the common progression from tent camping, to a pop-up camper, and for the past several years we've enjoyed our travel trailers. We've ventured further from home and enjoyed longer trips, but we both still work and so are still somewhat limited in how far and for how long we can go.
King's Highway (Added 11/17/11) "This blog will be used to keep our family up to date on where we are and what we are doing on our trips in the RV. We retired early in January 2005, and travel part time.... usually in 1 to 3 month trips two or three times a year."
The RV Tripper (Added 11/17/11) Kyla's blog covers a month long trip around the western & central US.
Irene and Mike... Amateur Bolers (Added 8/16/11) "The boler has been within the family for over 15 years. Mike's father purchased it and used it "as is." Last year the Boler was passed down to Mike during a secret ceremony which involved the lock of hair from a sasquach and a skill testing question. Thankfully Mike was about to find the item and answer the question... the answer was 5! Now that the Boler is in new hands it'll be used, and best of all... given some much needed tlc. This site will feature all our mods, vacations, and camping (glamping?) trips involving our 2nd home."
The BooneDocks (Added 2/1/11) "Hi, I am Leeanne and along with my husband Gary and our beloved kitty Alley we are The BooneDocks. Gary is a former Ford person and I am a current Ford person, but am soon to be former (3/1/11). We live in the burbs of Detroit. We have been considering for at least 10 years living full time on the road. We have been going to RV shows and dealer lots for over 20 years. After Gary left Ford, he worked as a salesman at an RV dealer in large part to gain knowledge in anticipation of full timing. I was not quite signed up so we experimented a bit. We rented a 30 foot motor home from the dealership and successfully completed a 1,000 mile trip about Michigan. I still needed some more testing of the lifestyle so I agreed when Gary proposed buying a hoopty motorhome -- a 1989 Southwind. And we also bought a hoopty car to tow behind it -- a 1993 Escort Wagon. But we took a number of trips in the 3 years we owned them -- Myrtle Beach twice, Ontario twice, Michigan UP, and several others -- and concluded we did like the lifestyle and would give full timing a whirl as soon as I retired. And this is where our blog begins in 2010 with the purchase of our full timing rig."
Bill and Helen's Fulltime Travels (Added 2/27/11) "We started this journal way back in July 2005 when we sold our home in Coon Rapids, Minnesota and started traveling full time in our 2005 Montana 39' 5th wheel pulled by our brand new 2005 Ford 350 Diesel truck that matched the beautiful red sunset of the graphics on our Tana... On March 28, 2009 we took delivery of our new Montana Big Sky 340RL It is about a foot longer then our other Tana and the grapics do not match our truck but it sure is a beautiful unit."
Roving With Mark & Dale (Added 2/27/11) From their About Us: "In 2001, Mark and I put together a five year plan, with the goal of retiring, selling our house and living and traveling full-time in an RV. That plan became a reality in June 2006. We have been traveling and experiencing the most fascinating life since then. This blog is intended to keep our friends and family up to date with our activities and encounters through stories and pictures. We live in a 40′ fifth wheel trailer…tow it with a Volvo 770 modified tractor…and tow a red Jeep behind the trailer. Please, come along with us and enjoy!"
Bill & Wanda's RVing Site (Added 11/27/10) "We were sailors for over 25 years. We started on Missouri lakes and graduated to saltwater in 1994 when we moved Pegasus our Hunter 37 to Punta Gorda, Florida. We later moved to a Hunter 420 that was named Bella. Both Pegasus and Bella were frequent visitors to the Bahamas and Florida Keys. On our last 2009 trip to the Bahamas, we decided to sell the boat and start to travel the United States while are still young enough to do it. We bought a 2004 Winnebago Vectra 40AD that we named BAGO. Since we named all the boats, we decided that the coach needed a name as well." Check their blog pages for their travels.

Never late, never lost (Added 11/27/10) "Donna, a lover of life, was a design specialist and practicing artist,and whose most recent extemporaneous creations now come from the kitchen, provides the passion and spark to the undertaking. Lance, a jack of all trades, was a natural foods entrepeneur, and now is a lead set dresser in the movie business, solves the problems and steers the course from one day into the next. Dixie Dawg, a wonderful mix of Border Collie, black Lab, and Akita, joined us on a similar adventure 8 years ago, and has been a travelin' dog since then, providing unlimited joy and enthusiam to all our activities"
Our RV Travel Blog - Paul And Carol's RV Adventure Blog (Added 10/18/10) "Married to Carol, a wonderful women, for 37 years and graced with three beautiful children: Bonnie, Jill, and Mike and two awesome grandchildren: Sarah & Ashlynn. Born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and getting a little tired of the long winters, we look forward to getting out of the cold for a few months a year.
