Chain Lake on a misty morning

Gatlinburg Tennessee

"Why we were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we had a chance to go out among the artisan community and meet with - in my opinion - some of the nicest people God ever placed on this earth. Everyone in this little town was just so nice to talk to. Yes ma'am, have a great day, sugar and sweet heart, darlin, and just the brightest smiles on their faces. And the barbecue everywhere we went was hard to pass up - most of the time we didn't. Needless to say we were stuffed like two pigs at a country fair. Once in awhile we ducked into a restaurant and took advantage of the salad bar. I'm so lucky to have had those moments with my mom and look forward to making more. I'm very excited that I ran across this contest. So I'll sit here with fingers crossed and wait for the day when you call me or email with the results. I look forward to hearing my name called so I and maybe even my siblings may continue to have everlasting moments with our mom. She's really one in 20 million."

Old RVs don’t need to retire

Here’s a photo showing that older RVs don’t need to retire. This 24-foot 1989 Ford / Vanguard has taken us to places as diverse as Fairbanks and Inuvik, San Diego, Key West and Halifax. Those with elementary geography will notice there’s quite a bit of territory between those towns. We added a pair of propane fuel tanks so it drives on dual fuel for a range of over 400 miles. Here I photographed it near Red Rock River in Montana five years ago.
