Finally, we are on the road again... last night put us at 694 nights in our TC... we parked (urban boondock) in the high school parking lot in WV for my 50th high school reunion.

We've had a lot of visitors today... TC's are rare east of the Mississippi.

Hot, humid, and happy.

No, that is 992 nights in 5 years.... we often travel for 5 or 6 months without going home. Fourty four states, Canada, walks into Mex...

We never go to campgrounds... call it what you want... we just call all of our nights boondocking. We have a house in Tennessee where we often have TC guests when we are at home.

The best of all worlds... the stuff dreams are made of.

Glad to hear you're on the road again. We've learned a lot from your posts.

We're also more focused on traveling rather than camping, but not sure we will ever meet your standard of no campgrounds. We find we have to dump the grey and fill the fresh at least every third day. Do you find yourselves spending much time finding places to dump tanks and refill fresh?

Thanks

Morninghill - Practice conservation of water, and I bet you could go twice as long.


Sleepy - Did you notice how old your classmates are getting? I was beginning to think your tires would get flat spots, from sitting so long.

It would not fit on his Toyota. Forgive me Mooney and Sleepy, I had to say that.

Classmates... some are hot, some are not... many are cold in the ground.

Everyone measures sucess differently, but it appears that most are comfortable with their place in the grand scheme of things.

We've had a lot of classmate visitors in our truck camper... a lot of dreaming going on.
