Today we decided to go on a little bike ride that ended up being almost 30 miles from about 9a.m. to 5p.m. We left Dakota Ridge RV Park in Golden toward downtown Golden. It was such a beautiful spring day, so we kept riding. We made a stop at Golden’s Visitor’s Center. What a nice …
This is our first winter in cold weather in our RV and we keep doing little things here and there to improve our insulation and winterizing. For the past month, we split our time at two different Colorado State Parks. Each one would not allow continuous hook up to the city water. One asked that you simply use …
When we bought the RV it had an extra set of brake lights/turn signals installed. They are a great addition as our tow vehicle blocks the regular tail lights and signals. On our maiden voyage in June one of the lenses fell off. It was just the amber lens that was against the RV. With …
Robert and I have been in storms, since we both grew up in tornado alley, but the wind we’ve experienced for the past couple of weeks here at the foothills west of Denver is RIDICULOUS!! Gusts up to 70 miles per hour a couple of weeks ago, 50 miles per hour today! Yesterday, we moved …
We have been in Colorado for two weeks now and have called St. Vrain State Park our home during that time. It’s been a very busy two weeks as I had to put in very long hours at the office I manage in Louisville. Since CO State Parks only allow 14 consecutive days of camping, …
It was Thursday morning and we needed to hit the road. We really weren’t too anxious as we hadn’t even really started securing things down to have an early departure. The weather forcast was calling for heavy rain in KS and snow in Denver. We studied the map and weather predictions and decided to take …
Last summer, when we were traveling from CO back to FL, in the extreme heat, Robert and I were discussing that we should put some sort of curtain to separate the cab from the rest of the coach to try to keep the cool air up front while we traveled. We not only used the …
We have been in Missouri for the month of January for a well overdue visit with family and friends. The time seemed short and very busy. Between work and our visiting schedule, it seemed as though we didn’t have a moment to breath. Whether we would stay for a week or a month, it seems …
I’m sure our Florida neighbors think we are crazy, but we are preparing for winter. With weather in the mid to upper 70s during the day and upper 50s at night, why on earth think about insulating the water lines? While most RVers go to warmer climate during the winter, we are going north. We …
Having a white vehicle is a pain. It seems to get grimy quickly. The last time Robert gave the RV a good bath was when we were still living at our rental house. We are parked under a couple of live oak trees and those tiny leaves get everywhere. He has swept the roof several …
