This morning here in southern Indiana is what I envision some of you going through at your camp sites this morning. It's a bright sunny day, blue sky, but a chill in the air and 47 F. Having a hot cup of Starbucks in my hand, made in the kitchen and just a few steps away from being outside with nothing around. I can't wait to feel that, to see that. What interrupts my "camping" morning is the early Saturday morning traffic on a US highway 125' down the hill. I use to see a lot of RV traffic on that highway but not nearly as much since 2008.
That decrease in RV traffic made me think the industry was drying up and the short time in 2005 that I thought of full-timing, lasted about as long as my friend's stay that summer, 5 days in his 37' Southwind RV that he had been full-timing in for the previous 3 years. He is the one that told me about workcamping. That visit just barely got the RV fire burning.
So I get ready to start my Saturday with a list of things to do, ALL THINGS that lead me to my departure date. Some of those 19 items can be checked off after today.
I received more local support for "Decision Made", via email this morning. As I stood outside drinking coffee and waiting for the post office to open for mailing a package, I could "feel" myself standing the same way, drinking the same coffee out of the same cup....some where in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Central Calif.
Your RV pictures make me dream.
The hounds within 1 hour....ONE HOUR....had completed their weekend morning routine....go outside to dump their tanks while I make coffee, back inside for the daily breakfast bone (the large ones bought at Costco), back out for a final survey of "their" field....and then within 1 hour of waking up....are all three together sleeping.
It's a dogs life.
I am wondering if RVing full-time is a "dog's life" with a little RV maintenance thrown in just to keep you honest.
Have a great Saturday and be safe if you are traveling.
WOW! I just read your yesterday and today's posts your are on your way.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read what all you have done now. You seem much more at ease now that you have made and put into place your final plan.

Keep those dreams alive. Someday, before too long, you WILL be standing in front of your rig and seeing in person all the things you are dreaming about now. You're on your way.
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely live in an RV with dogs easily, but in your case, since you have bassets, I'd buy a ramp to make it easier for them to get in & out of the RV. You may have thought of that already though. It just came to me on reading your post.
