The countryside is beautiful...mountain pastures with alfalfa, clover, irises. Going thru the back roads is the only way to really see the USA...even if you're not in a Chevrolet!

Our Retirement Trip
Our journey starts April 30, 2010. Plan is to travel thru 26 States, using no Interstate Highways. We will keep you posted on how that goes. We want to "see the country",visit National and State Parks, plus as many scenic highways as possible.
Tow vehicle is a 2005 Dodge 3500 SRW. Our home for the trip is a 2005 Holiday Rambler Savoy, single slide, remodeled kitchen, flooring and now has a California King Bed.
