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!

April 27/12; To HOME in Lee Creek, BC!


APR  27, Friday, Oroville, Washington to Lee Creek, BC
I was up at 6 am and Val at 6:30.  We looked at each other and decided to head out so...after dressing and brushing our teeth, we left and were across the border by 7:30 am.  We had no hassles at the border and were heading north on Hwy 97 within a couple minutes.  We stopped in Penticton at a “TIM HORTON” for breakfast then again at Salmon Arm for lunch after picking up our mail at the UPS Store.  We were at our site in Gateway, Lee Creek by 1 pm.  The first thing was to clean our pad from the fall-out from all the cotton trees.  We visited with neighbour Ruth and Marcel and Donna.  It’s good to be home!  We called all the kids to let them know we are here!

We drove 300 Km for a total time of 4.5 hrs, including stops!
