Terry and I have been fulltiming for nine years this month. We have traveled the country coast to coast and north to south many times. We love the lifestyle and it has been good to us. We have met many good folks and have no regrets. We began this adventure looking for the perfect place. We have found what we believe is our paradise.

It is time to plant some roots again. Due to family issues we will be coming off the road in a few weeks. My Mother (87 years young)should not be living alone and has agreed to come live with us. We have bought a home in Donnelly, ID and will be moving in.... in about three weeks.

We are looking forward to learning to cross country ski, snowshoe and snowmobiling, along with shoveling snow for upper body exercise A snowblower is on order Summers will see us fishing, boating, hiking, cycling and whatever else folk do while living in the mountains right near the lake.

We will be downsizing and getting something smaller...pu and truck camper...that Alaska trip may be possible, after all We will join the ranks of the masses....campers I will continue to moderate both the workcamping and fulltime forums, unless y'all don't want me anymore

It has been a good ride and we are ambivalent about leaving, but family comes first and we are looking forward to having the room to enjoy friends and family visits. Come see us and keep us informed about the outside world of fulltiming

Good luck Dianne. You sound comfortable with your decision and I hope all goes well for you and your family. I'll also be very curious to hear how the transition to S/B life is again! Glad you will still be 'around'.

See what I mean about the wonderful folks out there? Tony, you just say when, for sure

First snow is expected in the next 2 days, so we need to go out and get that shovel

Wishing you the best in your new lifestyle. I'm secretly betting you will end up back on the road eventually. Remember...you heard it here!

Of course you should continue as Moderator! What would the FT forum be like without you there to box our ears from time to time!
