When we left Florida in August 2008 our first destination was Crazy Horse Memorial, SD. Our Full-Time RVing experience had begun. After camping in 26 states and traveling over 37,000 miles we have come almost full circle. We are back at Crazy Horse.
We are now in our third year on the road Full-Timing. There are too many highlights to put all of them down now, but here are some of mine. Meeting Ruth Ziolkowski has to be right at the top. Walking on the arm of Crazy Horse with Cheryl, Shadow and the ashes of Chiisai was next. After Crazy Horse we headed east to New Jersey and my 50th high school re-union. From there we went south to Washington, D.C. and Cheryl ran her first marathon (the Marine Corps Marathon). Cheryl ran for Team Running Strong.
We met Billy Mills who runs Team Running Strong.
While in D.C. we also met an Iwo Jima surviver at the Iwo Jima Memorial. He was very impressed with Shadow’s Marine Corps Dress Blues.
From D.C. we headed for Truth or Consequences, NM where we did our first work camping. We skinny-dipped under the stars in hot springs when it was only 19 degrees. We celebrated our 25th anniversary where we got married on the HRMS Queen Mary. Shadow won Best-Dressed Pet at the Las Vegas Santa Run (over 8,700 Santas did the run). We have biked, hiked and visited more National Parks than I can list. We have also met a lot of nice people along the way. Most recently, it was kind of strange we were camping on an Air Force Base and found out R. Lee Ermey (The Gunny) was going to be at the BX for photos and autographs. Hard to believe hundreds of Air Force men and women stood in line to see a U.S. Marine Corps Gunny. We stood in line too and got a picture of the Gunny holding Shadow in her Dress Blues.
I am making a list of biggest, shortest, tallest, deepest, etc. places we have seen.
Full-Timing has been everything I expected and then some.
