I’m currently in my 24th year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click here
In the past few months I’ve indicated my 50+ year RVing life is changing. In my humble opinion, just like the world and the United States in general, not for the good.
5 days ago, I published my last blog posting on this topic. In case you missed it, here’s the link…
I’ve also indicated that on October 14th, I’m scheduled to arrive at a mystery location. A place my motorhome has never been to before. In addition, many other surprising changes await me there!
I’ve been having some fun offering clues about my mystery destination. My location here in Manteca, California has me a mere 505 miles distant, waiting out hopefully lower temperatures. 🙂
So far the clues have revealed about this mysterious destination…
- It gets really hot there in the summertime.
- It’s in California
- It’s a place of beautiful sunrises
- It’s an oasis… an island in the desert…
Here’s today’s really big clue… It’s within the boundaries of Riverside County…
In the meantime here is another photo of a recent sunrise sent to me by a friend…
More clues and other changes coming soon! 🙂
Now… to a totally different topic…
TODAY IS MARY’S 79TH BIRTHDAY!
If you are a regular follower of this blog, you know that I met Mary in 2008 and that she traveled with me part-time for six years… kind of two months on and two months off scenario. We shared many delightful experiences together. Out of the 5,602 postings on this blog site, Mary has published 1,800 of them.
You will also know just last week I finished up a nice four day visit with her at her home in Murphys, California. You will also know that about eight months ago, she was diagnosed with, and since that time has been battling colon cancer.
I’m most pleased to tell you that I found Mary looking surprisingly well. Other than being a little thinner than when we traveled together, to look at her you would never know she is dealing with cancer. She is still quite a sparkling and resilient personality, calling herself a tough old bird! Those of you who have met her will remember her well. She’s definitely a character and not easily forgotten.
Looks aside, battling cancer is mentally fatiguing, but she told me that she’s still hoping to “get a few more years out of this life”.
She may get mad at me for doing this, but I’m going to give you an email address, just in case you might want wish her well. You can send your message to mgmatzek@sbcglobal.net
Here’s a couple of photos…
Her 75th Birthday…
The latest photo I have of her…
HAPPY 79TH BIRTHDAY, MARY! Keep on carrying on, one day at a time, like we all must do!
I hope you enjoyed the photos.
Forecast for today is sunny and 78 degrees.
Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!
