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!

VANDALS STRIKE !!!!

Vandals :
Well our calm has been shattered! We had vandals strike here at our home! Sometime during the night, while it was storming here, and after I got kicked off the RV Dreams chat room, by the storm, our passenger side window was broken in the truck, and our Garmin GPS unit was stolen! We didn't find out until I went to the fiver to get clean clothes at 11 a. m. this morning. Then when I came out of the fiver I saw the glass on the ground. We immediately called the police! When the officer got here, she told us that this was the 3rd GPS system this week! I know it shouldn't have been in the truck, but in all the time we have lived here we've never had anything stolen, or messed with. That's been 30 years here! I guess there's always a first time, huh? So now starts the dealing with the insurance people. I wonder how long that will take, and what is this going to cost us, for our stupidity. I have a feeling this is going to be an expensive lesson learned! So please don't make our mistake, take your GPS unit out of your car/truck/motor home ! The GPS unit is a HOT item right now for thieves! The cop also suggested engraving your initials on things like this. Notice she said initials, not your social security number. Gee, I am really tired of hearing, and now experiencing, when some people want something you have, they just take it like they're entitled to it whether it belongs to someone else or not! She said that the GPS units are easy to sell or fence. She also suggested having a security system installed, but I don't know if we'll go that route or not just yet. I'm also worried about leaving the fiver sit in the driveway with no way of protecting it too. Of course when we get back from PA we'll probably be living in it, since we'll be working on the apartment.
I hope all of your week ends ended on a happier note than ours did!

So sorry for your loss. We saw something on 20 20 about all the thefts in the US. Thieves can tell if you might have one with the little circle in the window and still break in thinking it's under the seat.

Man that is a bummer! You work hard all your life to get things and some dirt bag comes along and takes it from you. I can't say enough about that. Sounds like a good plan with the garage room off the side. Looks like you have it all figured out...good for you.
