It's been 2 weeks since my last post. A lot has happened since then. While in Michigan,
we stayed at a KOA in Holly, MI. Not a happy experience. On the day of the wedding,
the power went out in the campground. There was no backup generator for the well-
water supply, so the bathrooms had to be shut down. Consequently, my daughter and
her husband who were staying with us never got to shower before the
event.
Sorry to hear about the wedding day issue. I hope that everyone was able to make the best of it and that it was a memorable day in a good way too. They will have a story to tell at least.
I enjoy reading about your trip, please continue to share.

All the way home, my wife and I were contemplating selling the coach to
a dealer and
getting out of camping all together. Motorhomes are in great demand,
and we figured
we could benefit from that by getting more today than we could have last December.
But, we enjoyed this trip so much we decided to keep it.
We have owned it for 5 years, and in order to 'justify' owning it, we figure we have to
use it at least once per month. So, the journey continues...

You probably already mentioned this, but I don't recall. What size RV is it?
It's really difficult for me to get time off so anything like that would really
be a waste for me. It sounds like you're having a good time. What range area
do you travel in it?
Have you ever taken it up through Canada into the Canadian Rockies? I've seen
some TV shows about the train trip up that way and always dreamed of doing that, it looks like an amazing area.
Where is your favorite place to go currently? Where have you been the most times?
Are there any issues with taking the RV up into Canada as far as license, insurance, etc?
Big cities are interesting, but I like seeing just average places and what they have to offer. It's neat to look at the houses and stores, restaurants,
employers and think about what it would be like to visit or live there, etc.
Do you log everywhere you go? I've seen some people do the old push pin a map deal while others have detailed records of where they've stayed, etc.
Generally, the things we
see in the various towns are done by car. It gives us a chance to see more of the area
we park the RV in.
My wife has a perfect memory of our journeys so we don't log them per
se. She plans
each stop along the way, the amount of time we travel every day, reservations at the
campgrounds, etc. All I have to do is drive :)
Do you stay in an area for just a few days or weeks?
You should open the forum up to suggestions and try picking a town or two based on suggestions, within reason of course. I remember a story I heard years ago about someone who started reading the books in the library in order. Even if they didn't have any interest in the book they took it and read it anyhow. They said they ended up finding many things they liked that they would have never dreamed of reading otherwise.
