Roughing it Smoothly

I'm pleased to report we found our way safely home yesterday, by the light of day, and didn't miss a single turn. Today, we faced the cold hard reality of work. Ugh.

Reflecting on our wonderful winter weekend away, I was reminded of a comment made by a passerby yesterday at a gas station not too far from our camping destination. After filling up, we hooked the jeep back up to the moose and got ready to hit the road. While we were checking the turn signals, a gentleman passed by and made a comment to Boris.

"Roughing it smoothly, I see," he said.

With his mind focused on the towing process, Boris' response was automatic.

"We're working on it," he replied.

As the miles flew by on our way home, we talked about the passing comment. It may or may not be a common saying in the RVing world. We wouldn't know. After all, we'll still newbies. New or not, we like it. In three little words it sums up what we're moving toward.

With all the comforts of home and our trusty side-trip transport following faithfully behind us, we do have all the comforts of home. And, while we've had our ups and downs so far along the way, we could definitely sum it all up as pretty darn smooth.

Roughing it smoothly?

We really are working on it.
