10 years ago we said "if we can surf the net and work from our computers while on the road we will know it is time to begin to retire and travel the country in an RV."
About four months ago, at about the same time, we both found ourselves facing a new beginning. With lots of free time on our hands for the first time in our long careers, we took a deep breath and said, "Let's have some fun!" So we found ourselves planning a trip back in time. We rented a pop up camper and headed to a Christian rock festival in Illinois. We emailed our sons from our wireless computers as we surfed the net from the corn fields of Illinois and asked, "It's midnight. Do you know where your parents are?" One of our son's response was "My parents are acting like teenagers again." We used to take our sons when they were teenagers to this very place. We had so much fun rocking, camping, reading and surfing the net in those corn fields for 6 days that we began to contemplate whether we could we do more. |
| So here is where it began. The first rented pop-up camper. |
 |
| Main Stage at Cornerstone Festival! |
 |
| Corn fields of Illinois. "Lots of popcorn" |
So the next thing to test is whether we can tolerate living in less than 400 square feet for an extended time.
Starting today Sunday August 8th the experiment begins. Following 2 weeks of project planning and research we have rented a 30 ft Class C RV and planned a 3 week trip that includes camping in national and state parks as well as camping in commercial RV parks.
We leave tomorrow. So log in and see "The RV Experiment" unfold.
Hooray!!! I can't wait to read about your adventure.
ReplyDelete"On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson was a song I use to play in my cassette player when I would get on the road when I was selling pictures. You need a theme song. Like the name you chose but still like my idea. Have fun and post a lot of cool stuff.
