Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Palm Springs RV Resort in Palm Desert, California. I’m scheduled to depart here December 16th.

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French.

Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
