Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Lake Minden RV Resort in Nicolaus, California. I’m scheduled to depart here November 7th.
Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.
The motorhome is still parked at Moose Lodge #1283. We expect to leave here tomorrow.
Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about one mile to the Winchester Visitor Center for local information.
Winchester was the home of famous country singer Patsy Cline whose song “Crazy”, written by Willie Nelson, remains the #1 jukebox-played song of all time. At the center was a small Patsy Cline exhibit. Patsy died in a plane crash at the age of 30 near Camden, Tennessee. We visited that site recently and you can see the Blog entry by clicking this link…

Here’s the poster for Patsy’s last performance. She died on Tuesday March 5, 1963…
Then we drove the about two miles to her grave site at Shenandoah Memorial Park…
From there about three miles to Patsy’s childhood home at 608 Kent Street…
Where docents Patricia (Patsy’s first cousin) and Pam (Patsy’s second cousin) told us Patsy stories. No photography was allowed in the house…
About three blocks away to Gaunt’s Drug Store where Patsy worked behind the no-longer-there soda fountain in the early 1950’s…
After lunch about one mile away we went to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley which depicts the history of life in this area…

Yesterday it was 87 degrees with 88 forecast for today with equivalent humidity. Too danged hot and humid for my liking!!!
Enjoying interesting museums is another joy of the full-timing lifestyle!

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