Throughout our ten-year odyssey, we got together with family and old friends, meeting fellow campers and making new friens along the way. People everywhere were helpful and accommodating. We visited familiar communities and childhood haunts. We explored places because of their interesting sign out front: Finnish American Cultural Center in Ashtabula, Ohio; The National Quilt Museum in Paduca, Kentucky; C.M. Russell House and Museum in Great Falls, Montana.
Some events and places were destinations: meeting Big Boy #4014 steam locomotive in Morgan, Utah, a; attending the Golden Spike 150th Anniversary Commemoration at Promintory Point, Utah; driving three laps on the track at Watkins Glen Raceway in Watkins Glen, New York; camping at the edge of Lake Onterio, in Henderson Harbor, New York; taking the grandkidsand their parents on a motorhome day trip from Fairview, Oregon, to Cascades Locks in the Columbia River Gorge; camping at the beach of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
We were happy travelers and only once wondered if sitting on the front porch might have been not such a bad idea. I thank you, Roger. We didn't take a vacation; we experienced a new lifestyle.
And now we have decided to stay here. Our reservation is confirmed. The weather is temperate. And what a view from the deck!
