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!

CLEANING DAY

Today:
We mostly cleaned up the fiver today. We changed the bed, put things away, and I did the dishes, so we would be ready to leave tomorrow afternoon. There's not much left to do but run the sweeper and dust. Since the Dirt Devil central vac is fried, I can't do the sweeping until we get home. I'll do the dusting in the morning, and put the dishes away, and anything breakable for the hour and 10 minute drive to Alum Creek state park. If all goes as planed we'll stay for two nights, and go home on Wednesday morning. After the fiasco the first time, of having to move 3 times, we now make specific reservations so we know what site we're going to be on. It sure makes life a lot easier, and less stressful!

Storage:
We're in the process of working on the fiver to make it more user friendly for us. We are moving things around, and looking for ways to add more storage. We have a lot of wasted space we're going to try to find ways to use. So wish us luck! Since most of the time there is just the two of us, and we have room in our closet, we're going to put two of our dining chairs in the closet until we need them. That will give us room for a couple of small cabinets to use for a pantry since we don't have one in our fiver. Most of the time we eat outside or in our recliners anyway. We're going to get a small kitchen cart to use as an island to give me more counter space, and work area. It has lockable wheels on it so it will be stationary, and we can lay it down when we're traveling if we need to. So that's two major problems solved. We also want to put up some extra lighting, above the sink, and behind our recliners for reading, and computer use.

Internet:
I'm not sure if we'll be able to get wifi where we're parking this time at Alum Creek, so if ya don't hear from me until Wednesday thats why, so let's hope I'll be able to do my blog tomorrow. Until then....

Sassy, look forward to seeing what you do for more storage. I have the same problem. Once done, would love to see pictures.
Have fun...
