The adventure begins

On Oct. 9, 2013 we signed the contract on selling our home in Ball Ground. After much thought and a lot of work we began this new phase of our life. We had dreamed of following the road for many years but things got in our way. After the last of our parents passed we felt the time right to begin our Road Trip.
We do not know for how long this will last but it starts with one step.

So on Oct. 10 we connected our home to the truck and said good bye to the security and love we had felt in the fourteen years we resided in North Georgia.

Our first stop was in Forsyth,  Georgia to spend time with our Good Sam Camping club. After a few days of

fun and fellowship and lots of good food we attended the National Rally at the Atlanta Raceway.

On the 22nd of October we arrived in Frostproof, Florida for two months of R and R. There we met more new friends who we shared stories and listened to the experiences of those that had been on the road for many years. Some in their 80's and still active but now chose to stay mostly in one park.

After those weeks of sun and fun we arrived back in Ideal(Harry's hometown) for Jinks family Christmas. Then on to the wet and cold of Cumming, Ga. But the warmth of family and visits to friends made it a great visit.

After visits to all our doctors we started across country to Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas where we stopped for a couple of days in Livingston, Texas to visit the home of our mail service on Rainbow Drive. We highly recommend Escapees if you ever need mail forwarding.

Then it is on to New Mexico where we finally visited Carlsbad Cavers. We love exploring caves and this one a great one to visit.

Next is Quartzsite, Az.  One night was spent in an overnight campground where we filled up with water and cleaned out all our tanks.

On Monday the 20th we arrived in the DESERT!!
There we spent a week with about half a million others who sought refuge with Mother Nature. There we camped with a group of 15 other Hitchhiker friends. Some old friends but mostly new ones.

For those that have not experienced desert livingit "Ain't half bad. We were able to survive a week with water and holding tanks that sufficed our needs.

At night there was campfires and plenty of good food and drinks to share. Lots of laughter and lots of good information about other parts of our beautiful and versatile USA.

Also in town was anything you wanted to purchase and lots of beer and food. Many vendors that love to take your money. Gem and rocks galore and 7 dollar homemade ice cream.

And yes I met the naked book man........
