2012-01-11T06:32:00.001-05:00

We made it to San Antonio safe and sound.We are a little tired but glad to be here.It was windy yesterday while driving but no rain which was good.Our trip was uneventful other than having one of our roof vent covers break - no idea why that happened. We have covers over all of our vents but still managed to break one. The campground is very nice and we were treated to a beautiful sunset on our

It was a day of getting ready!A LONG day of getting ready. We have been here for over a year.When you have been sitting that long it takes a while to get everything put away.We are all excited about traveling some - although the latest forecast has us traveling in rain. I need to exercise the wipers anyway.Nashville - Memphis - Little Rock - Dallas - then San Antonio. ...and somewhere along

Happy New Year!

We hope everyone has a happy and safe year!We are slowly getting ready to roll. Hoping for a warm day or two as we prepare.Our plan is to be on the road next Saturday morning on our way to San Antonio, Texas.We had a very nice New Year celebration last night with friends and brought in the New Year with some good food and a little music.Well back to napping!Ken and Nanette

Looking toward the New Year.

2011-12-28T08:05:00.001-05:00

We hope everyone had a great Christmas!All but a very few have left here now. We had a few days of good-byes and saw everyone on their way.It is cold this morning but due to warm up in the next few days.Yesterday we sat with a well traveled friend and an Atlas and mapped out a potential 3 year travel plan.It was a lot of fun looking at all the options we had. Our friend, having taken albums

2011-12-23T08:06:00.001-05:00

More people have been leaving each day.As most of you have experienced RVs seem to break at the worst times.With so many RVs here and them having sat for a few months - undetected problems have shown themselves as the rigs are preparing to travel.We have always been eager to help in anyway we can when the need arises.I have found all of the experiences and lessons learned with our own motorhome

A day of good-byes.

2011-12-21T10:12:00.000-05:00

As I wrote the other day there are workampers leaving everyday now.This morning two couples left that we are going to miss. Steve and Karen...thank you for the constant smiles and laughs. You guys were such a joy to meet and sure helped make some great memories.We REALLY hope to see you guys again!Dave and Maxine...the kids will never forget their first Geo Caching adventure that you took them

San Antonio, Texas!

2011-12-20T13:58:00.000-05:00

Some breaking news for you. We are heading to San Antonio, TX in a couple of weeks. The next stop on our big adventure... Ken and Nanette

Watching as some of our friends begin to leave...

2011-12-19T14:29:00.000-05:00

It is sad watching our workamping friends beginning to leave here as they finish their assignment with Amazon. We have been a community of 50 RVs for the last few months and that number is dropping each day. The destinations are so numerous as they fan out across the country for their winter spot or to be with family over the holidays. A very few will be staying here, as we are, through the

Two new things I learned today.

2011-12-18T14:11:00.001-05:00

I learned two new things today! They were P1135 and AFR Sensor... The first is the error code for the "CHECK ENGINE" light that is on our Toyota Highlander. The second is WHY we have the P1135 code. AFR stands for Air Fuel Ratio Sensor and it has to be replaced. Oh there was a third thing... It isn't cheap to fix! I suppose it is good that I still have the capacity to learn... ...I

Starting to post - slowly.

2011-12-17T09:25:00.000-05:00

We are going to begin posting again. We probably won't be doing it every day since we are very busy these days before the holidays.We are still in Campbellsville, Kentucky and have been for the last year. (share the story of that later)We are still loving this lifestyle and have many stories and insights to share - which we will.Looks like a move is coming for us in early January - as soon as

We are on the way back to posting!

2011-01-26T13:11:00.000-05:00

Thank you all for your concern of late. We are doing just fine -- we will be posting again in a few days and will keep you updated on the most recent happenings of our great adventure. Thank you for hanging in there with us. We have some exciting things happening -- and as always very unexpected. Stay tuned! Ken and Nanette

We are still kicking!

2010-11-29T13:06:00.003-05:00

We are still here and doing fine. I haven't come close to posting as much as I thought I would. We are all doing fine and enjoying our time where we are. I do want to post more and we have a ton of pictures we want to share. The pictures currently reside on a camera and cell phones. We just need to get them pulled off and posted here. We are still working at the same place and have met some

Wind and SIM Card Troubles.

2010-10-26T13:26:00.006-04:00

We are riding out the wind here today. One of the campgrounds close to us had a high voltage line snap. We have not lost power here but have seen a few chairs and trash cans rolling by. We love the campground we are at and we think it is the best place of all of them for us to be located. In response to the comments regarding the freedom post that I made - we are firm believers in allowing

Balancing Freedom and Finances...

2010-10-05T13:10:00.002-04:00

Howard of RV Dreams posted a "thinking out loud" post regarding what they have experienced over their years of full-time RVing and how things have changed for them. He wrote about the difficulty in balancing the freedom they want against the need to make money. His post brought home an element of full-timing that is essential to understand before anyone takes the plunge. As has been said this

Work...work...work!

2010-10-03T12:23:00.001-04:00

We are settling into our newest assignment.We are working at Amazon.com in Campbellsville, Kentucky.It is hard work but we have met some great people here.We are finding enjoyment here. Over the last few months we have learned to be flexible on short notice.We have also learned the importance of living life in moments and to capture the happiness in those moments.Everyone is doing just fine and

Finally!

2010-09-18T11:42:00.000-04:00

We are still kicking and so too are the horses! We are now in Kentucky and working. We finished our assignment in Pennsylvania and made our way back to Kentucky. Things are finally starting to settle down for us. We had to move to a different campground from the first one we arrived at here. We are at a campground that is for horse riders that bring their horses - camp here - and use the

Update...

2010-08-25T22:31:00.001-04:00

We have had and are continuing to have connection problems.We all are doing fine.We hope to update you all in the next few days with all that has been going on with us.Everyone is healthy and happy. What more can we ask for?We want to thank everyone that has expressed concern for us. We are sorry we haven't been in contact. Hopefully we can get things setup so we don't have this happen

Still Workin'...

2010-08-08T09:59:00.000-04:00

We are still in Pennsylvania. Just thought I would tell you since with us we tend to move unexpectedly sometimes.Since being here we have had a variety of opportunities presented to us.Nanette has found herself alone in the store handling the administrative side of things here a few times.Her experience in New York has served her and the owners well!For me - well unexpectedly I have helped to

Getting Up To Speed...

2010-08-01T20:00:00.001-04:00

We have been getting accustomed to the new campground and the operations here. There are two things very quickly apparent.The first is the relaxed atmosphere here opposed to the last one.The second thing is how differently adversity is handled here. When something happens that is a problem it is handled efficiently and with little fanfare.These two things have made us very happy being here.It is

A Quick Update...

2010-07-26T09:11:00.005-04:00

As we told you we are in our new work location. We got a quick orientation as to where the closest stores are to us. The first good news is they aren't an hour away. :)The campground we are now at is called Brookdale Family Campground (www.brookdalefamilycampground.com) and it is located in Meadville, PA. Which by the way is the home of Channel Lock Tools in case you may have been asking

We Are On The Road...

2010-07-22T07:54:00.001-04:00

We find ourselves in Oneonta, New York this morning. We awoke to a beautiful day! Yesterday we packed up and got the rig ready to roll and were pulling out of North Hudson, New York at exactly 10 minutes after Noon. It felt good to be on the road again actually. Nanette and I were very tired since it takes a while to get a rig that has been sitting and being lived in for 10 weeks ready to
