"On The Road" is "Online" Again





Well, it's been quite awhile since we abandoned our previous website. At the time we were posting on that site, we frequently had less-than-efficient internet access which made it very difficult to keep the site up-to-date. Thanks to improved technology, we now have reliable internet access most anywhere we travel so we decided it was time to try setting up a blog. We hope to keep our family and friends posted on where we are and what we're doing as we travel around the country. We'll try to post a few photos along the way. Currently we are stationary at SeaWind RV Resort on Baffin Bay in So. Texas. We will be here until March 1, so there may not be alot of new things to post for awhile, but we'll try and post a couple of pics of the area. Neither of us has ever had a blog before, so we ask your patience in advance with any blunders we may commit along the way.

Mardi Gras Parade - "Seawind Style"



Just a quick background for those with whom we haven't been in contact for awhile. We have been full time RV'ers for almost five years. We live in our RV along with our two shih-tzu dogs (Pansy and April). We have travelled in all but 4 of the continental United States. Typically, we spend about 3 months or so during the summer at Charleston Marina RV Park in Charleston, Oregon (near Coos Bay) where we keep a boat and fish and crab in the Pacific Ocean. During the winter months we stay in south Texas at SeaWind RV Resort on Baffin Bay (s/w of Corpus Christi). The remaining months we travel around the country. Where we travel depends alot on what the weather is doing. We try to avoid ice, snow, severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornados and extreme heat. In spite of our efforts, we have occasionally been confronted with ice, snow and extreme heat in our travels and we have ended up way closer to tornados than we wanted to be! We started out in a 33' Teton fifth wheel trailer with three slide-outs. As of last March, we are living and travelling in a 42' Allegro Bus motorhome with 4 slide-outs.

We hope you enjoy the postings we make along the way. We would enjoy reading any comments you may like to add in the "comments" area.
