Travel & Get Paid For It... Not Bad...

As we were walking the dogs tonight, we talked to a couple who were counting the years until they could go full-time RVing. They didn't know if their pension and social security would get them through and leave enough left over to have some fun.

So we explained briefly how we travel all over, like many of our AGS friends... how we get to visit friends & family... see the beautiful sight in this country... and meet so many interesting and friendly people. And best of all, we get paid for it a good deal of the time.

They were intrigued and thinking seriously that they may be able to move up their "full-timing" date. We gave them a brochure we got from AGS so they can send for more information. I hope they find the answers that will help them make their dreams come true. It was our solution for sure.

Switching gears, I had no idea so many Europeans traveled to this country. And some of them ship their rigs here from Belgium, France, Finland, you name it. Many others fly in and rent an RV. And Moab, Utah seems to be an international destination!

Could be because there are so many national parks, like Canyonlands & Arches. They are spectacularly awesome and beautiful. We've been here two and a half weeks and I still love the La Sal Mountains, the canyons, and the red-rock formations. There are a lot of arches outside of Arches National Park too. It's really amazing.

An intriguing family moved in next door today. They had five children and a good size travel trailer. These people have their own business and winter is their slack time. So they pack up the kids and go to each of the states as part of their home schooling program. When they pulled into Utah today, they had three states unfilled in their state display on their rig. They were putting in the Utah state puzzle piece tonight.

It was so nice to see the kids all having such a great time. They will see their two remaining states on their way back to New York, their home. That reminds me, we only have 8 states left to fill on our display.

Weather has been gorgeous as well. Only a few days over 90 degrees and evenings in the 60s or 50s. That said, we do have a cold front coming tomorrow. We'll have a couple of nights in the upper 30s, then it will slowly start warming up again. We are loving the low humidity. A lot different than what we experienced in Texas this summer. It was a scorcher this year!

That's all for now... may the wind be to your back,
