This the story of our journey, Into Something Good, going Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and trying to Hold Onto Our Dreams. How we got on the way to becoming HALF time RVers! Our Ford 350 super duty diesel truck is our horses, we call it the Beast . Our 2008 34'7" 3 slide Cedar Creek Silverback fifth wheel is our Prairie Schooner Wagon,we call it the Bear. Just like the first RVers, the Pioneers of Yesteryear traveling around the country searching for a rich full filling life! Come along with us for the ride and read about our triumphs and mishaps along the way! About to be Part time RVers in a Cedar Creek Silverback 2008, 34'7", 3 slide 5th wheel, which is our Prairie Schooner Wagon, and a 2006 Ford 350 super duty 1 ton diesel truck is our horses, or oxen, only we have to feed it diesel instead of grass, and oats, which costs a lot more! Retired Air Force empty nesters off to see the good ole USA! Favorite Quote: "Life is a Blank Canvas, Made For Me to Add the Colors" Goal: I am trying to add as many colors as I can to my life!

BACK IN TERRE HAUTE

KOA Terre Haute, In
This morning we left St Louis, about 10:30a.m. It was a beautiful sunny day, with no humidity. What a nice day for a drive. We had an easy drive from St Louis through Illinois. Once we crossed the boarder of Illinois into Indiana we sure knew we were in a different state, because I-70 is a terrible rough road. When we got to the KOA, and opened the fiver, and the decorative nut off of the light over the table had come off. All that kept the glass globe on was a little washer and a hex nut. Boy am I glad that didn't come off and break. The hex nut had worked it's way almost down to the end of the screw. What a mess that would have been with broken glass all over the place! I probably would have never been able to get it all off everything! You'd think that with all the state taxes everyone pays they would be able to keep the roads in decent shape.

Campsite:
We have a nice campsite with trees and shade. The temp is a great 81 degrees, and I don't think that the day could be any more perfect! The birds are chirping, there is a nice breeze, and the sky is a beautiful blue with a few clouds. Paco and I are sitting outside while I type this. Ahh the best of both worlds, camping, and technology at the same time! Of course we are in no way roughing it, with the TV, cable, internet, microwave ect..... Kinda makes ya feel sorry for us huh? LOL! Seriously, we could get used to this lifestyle very easy, and we plan to! I would just like to stay at each place we go more than one night. We didn't even unhitch this afternoon, because we still have another 3 hour drive tomorrow to get back to Ohio. I think we're going to stay at the house for about a week, then go down to my brother's house, and then go stay with Mike's Mom to let the rest of the family have a break, and catch up on the things that they have let go to stay with Mike's Mom. Well that's it for today, hope ya all have a good one, and travel safe!
