Putting The "Recreation" Back in RVing

The house stuff is moving ahead quite nicely. Basically, we've cleared all the hurdles. We're just waiting for our closing date later this month. With the green light glowing, we've scheduled delivery of our itty bitty POD container, found a place for the moose to park, and ordered all kinds of furniture. We're gaining on our goal of being able to comfortably sleep, eat and watch TV as soon as possible after closing.

That's progress!

In our spare time, we've made some inquiries into local RVing clubs. As members of the national Winnebago Itasca Travelers, the Winnie owners club, we are eager to make introduction to our local and state WIT members. We have such fond memories of outings with our Winnie friends in California, we look forward to making connections like that here in our hometown.

After exchanging a few emails, we had made connections with the local and state clubs. Several folks from both groups extended warm welcomes. They shared their schedules of upcoming events. They have outings planned to popular state parks, lakes and one place in the Texas panhandle we've been wanting to visit.

It sounds fun.

As we perused the calendar of upcoming events with both clubs, we recalled the days when we would escape life in our sticks-n-bricks for a few days with our RVing brethren.

It was truly recreational.

After nearly four years of living in an RV, we realize we miss the "recreation" in RVing. It's tons of fun, but living in this house on wheels has simply become a way of life. As much as we love it, it's just not the same as getting away with friends once a month or so for a few days of camping.

It sure sounds like fun.

We can't wait!
