YEAR 5
AUGUST 2021 - JULY 2022
Our fifth year as Full Time RV'ers begins in the Pacific NW. It took us a while to finally get out here. We were truly looking forward to the cool summer temps normally associated with this area. However, this became the year of repeated excessive heat domes. But on a side note, I must say that the Oregon State Parks are exceptional!
Right now, our plan is the be back in FL by Thanksgiving for the winter season. But we have learned to flow as the world around us shifts and changes.

Year 4
August 2020 - July 2021
Our forth year as Full Time RV'ers starts in Virginia. We have family here, and the prices are reasonable. The pandemic forced us to play it safe and not move around as much in 2020, so we feel blessed to be in a place that allows for our needs to be met both materially and emotionally.
Business took to us to Houston for the winter, rather than Florida. So when spring came, we decided to head west. But as the summer brought extreme heat, we quickly headed to the Pacific NW coast, where the temps are cooler. This is our first time in Oregon and the Pacific Ocean in the RV.
