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!

May 1 to 8, 2010; Gateway

MAY 1, Saturday, Gateway
A lazy day at home! I helped Marcel get his satellite set up then we went to Scotch Creek for some shopping and then found a couple of caches.
For dinner, Val cooked a buffalo roast; it was a bit tough but still delicious. Watched the Canucks win over Boston!


MAY 2, Sunday,Gateway
It rained all day, very windy and very cold too. We stayed home, read and watched TV


MAY 3, Monday, Gateway
Val had a doctor’s app’t at 1 pm so we went to Salmon Arm and did some shopping before. We got back at the rig around 4 pm after finding a couple more caches. We got the rig ready to leave tomorrow then relaxed.


MAY 4 to 6, Kamloops
We spent these past 3 days in the yard at “South Thompson RV” getting some warranty work done and servicing the furnace and water tank. As I suspected, the water tank heater element was damaged from the water in Yuma, even the Service guy made a comment right off the bat. We also had a fluorescent light installed above the kitchen sink to give Val more lighting around there. Val worked on Wednesday; and on Thursday, we did some laundry and some geo-caching of course! “Bear” was ready by 3 pm so after settling our bill, we left for Gateway where we set up once again.


MAY 7-8, Logan Lake
We had a weird thing happened this morning; when I got up the coffee had been made but the coffee maker was off...it had quit working. I checked everything but it never came on again. I called the 800 number for repairs and they will send us a new unit, all I have to do is send them the plug!!?
We left home around 11 am for Logan Lake and on the way, we stopped in Kamloops to pick up a couple things in town. On the way to Logan Lake, it started snowing of all things, quite heavily too. It is at 3700 feet after all. We got to the Kirkby’s safe and sound and after a short visit, we all went over to our friend's house, Rick and Pat, around 5 pm to have a happy hour and see our friends and Pat’s cousin, Glenda and Terry and Bill & Georgia who are along with Terry & Glenda for a couple weeks. They are all headed for 100 miles House to help Glenda’s sister at their farm.
We had a marvellous visit. Friends of ours and the Tate’s, Joanne and Don, were also there and can't forget Rick's mom, Marie, so it made for a full house. Lots of food and good company made it a successful time.
We spent the night at the Kirkby’s and the next day, after a nice breakfast, we headed home.
