About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

January 5 to 8, 2010; Desert Hot Springs, California

JAN 5, Tuesday, Palm Spring
Another fairly quiet day at home. Val went for a swim with Marcel and Audrey in the morning then we read while M&A packed their suitcase and cleaned their rig for storage. They are leaving tomorrow for Calgary and home, planning on returning at Easter. Audrey learned that she has received her retirement package so she is excited about that.
Around 3 p.m., M&A took their car back to the rental place in Palm Spring. We followed them and after they dropped off the car we all went to “TILTED KILTED Pub” for beer and dinner. We watched the Junior Gold hockey game between Canada and the US. Surprisingly there were a lot of Canadians at the pub as we found out by the cheering when they scored. Unfortunately, Canada lost in OT.
We came home around 9 pm, had a night cap and showed them some pictures then everyone went home to bed


JAN 6, Wednesday, Last Day in Catalina Spa
We got up early and after parking Marcel and Audrey’s rig in the storage area, we drove them to the airport where they caught a West Jet plane back to Calgary. They were not looking forward to the cold weather up there. We said our goodbyes then drove back to the Park after stopping for a McDonald breakfast.
Val did the laundry and I packed all our stuff away. Tomorrow we move to Desert Pool, a Western Horizon Park, about ten minutes from here on Dillon Road.
The rest of the day was spent reading, swimming and walking Tucker. We had dinner then watched a movie that M & A left behind for us


JAN 7 Thursday, move to Desert Pool RV Park
A tough day indeed! We got up around 8 am, read for a while, had breakfast, showered then slowly got the rig batten down for our “BIG” trip!
We left Catalina at 10:45 am and arrived in Desert Pool, a WHR park, at 10:50 am, a whole 3 miles later! WOW! This has got to be our shortest trip yet! (SMILE).
Anyway, we set up at site 128 after paying our dues and one later we were having lunch. We spent the afternoon exploring the park, meeting our neighbours then read for a while. Val went to check the clubhouse for a daily schedule and found one of course.
We had dinner then we relaxed for the evening. It was a very warm day; 75*F (22*C). I called TELUS and put our Canadian phone to “vacation sleep” as of the 9th. We will be using our US phone.


JAN 8, Friday, Desert Hot Spring
Val went for her exercises this morning and I puttered on the computer then took Tucker for a walk. In the afternoon, we went to town shopping for some groceries then came home to put It all away. I washed the truck this afternoon as it was cloudy and perfect for doing that job.
Happy hour, dinner then watched a movie...Life is but a journey!

I have posted new pictures in folder #53 (Arizona 2) and began a new folder #54 California
