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!

March 15 to 18, 2013; Desert Hot springs, CA

MAR  15, Friday, Desert Hot Springs
We were up early to attend a spiel on joining “R.P.I.” another camping club to supplement our present membership however the salesman attitude was such that we just walked out.  He was telling us what to do instead of presenting and listening!!!  As we walked out, I told the office that they needed a new salesman!!!  Anyway, we called Aud and made arrangement to go for hamburgers here then go to Apple Store to exchange Val’s present which she got from Marcel and Audrey as a birthday present.  The color is not right.  I got some propane at $2.99/gal.
This is another hot day, mid 90’s again but there is a bit of a breeze and it is dry!  We came home and a couple hours later, we drove to Caliente RV Park where Aud is living for now and we had dinner at her Park club, spaghetti, salad, buns and dessert.  At 6:30 PM, we drove to the Palm Desert to the theatre and saw a movie called “The Calls” with Hallie Berry.  It was OK!  We came back to Desert Hot Springs and Aud took us to a bar her and Marcel found in town, had a drink then came home and called it quit for the night.

 
MAR  16, Saturday, A relaxing day
Another hot day; in the low 90’s!  Val and Aud went shopping in town while Tucker and I stayed home, read and relaxed.  A light wind came up keeping things comfortable.  The girls got back around 4:30 PM, we had a drink then BBQ pork chops with all the trimmings.  We sat out and had a discussion on the pros and cons of a Canadian having a gun in their rig.  Aud went home around 9 pm, we watched the tube for a while then it was our turn to turn in.

 
MAR  17, Sunday, 
Sunny and hot once more; they keep promising cooler weather but we’ve yet to see it.  I went on the Net and downloaded a bunch of caches to do later in the week.  Val did laundry this morning then we relaxed until 2 PM when Audy came over and we drove to her friends’ place in Caliente Resort (Tom and Ellen).  We had a great visit with them and a hamburger BBQ with three different salads.  At one point, I had to go back to our Resort to put up the awning as the wind really picked up then came back.  We left at 7 PM and came home.  As we drove in, we saw that Louise and Dave had arrived so we stopped for a short visit and came home 2 hours later.

 
MAR  18, Monday
It was a little cooler today; 85*F (28*C although it didn’t feel much different from yesterday) with sunny skies!  Val went for the “walk off the Pounds” but came back 10 minutes later; nobody showed up so she phone Aud and went for a walk with her up in the desert.  We tried to set up the satellite with little success then at 4 Pm we had Happy Hours with Audrey, Dave and Louise and new people, Dot and Jim.  After they left, we had dinner with Audrey then played a game of Sequence; much harder with 3 people.  To bed by 11 PM
