Gypsy Journal RV Travel Newspaper - Fulltimers – Margaret and Rich Bergen




From the site: Gypsy Journal RV Travel Newspaper - Fulltimers â€" Margaret and Rich Bergen

Who are these modern day gypsies who spend their lives on the road? What prompted them to leave their former homes and communities for a life on wheels? Each week we will introduce you to some of the fulltime RVers we meet in our travels and those who read this blog. // ]]> Professional boxers and fulltime RVers have to learn to roll with the punches if they want to survive, and Margaret and Rich Bergen obviously have that philosophy. They know that things can change at the last minute, by choice or by chance, and that’s just fine with them. It’s all part of the adventure. Two years before their planned start to their fulltiming adventure they purchased a 1996 Beaver diesel motorhome to carry them off to their new life and th ...Read more...

From the site: Winds of Destiny - RVLife - Afternoon in New Orleans - 5/10/15

Arriving at the French Quarter RV Park this afternoon, we ventured out on foot to check out this oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. Bourbon Street and a quick look at the mighty Mississippi were at the top of our list. Our daughter, Amanda, is arriving tomorrow and we will be enjoying New Orleans with her and Justine, but we wanted to get our bearings in this historic city.Only about 6 blocks from the RV park is the famous (or should I say infamous) Bourbon Street and the historic Royal Sonestra Hotel.For tips, there are a wide array of interesting folks (and a dog!) that permit a photo or two. Here are some we encountered today. Crazy, right?Musical Legends Park where great music could be heard on the street.Sadie was very interested in w ...Read more...

We’ve been camping with @Aluminarium for the past week and last night we hosted them for pizza.  Despite Brian’s best attempt to over-serve me tequila, cast iron pizzas in the cozy Airstream oven was a success.  Always good times with these two.

From the site: Travel with Kevin and Ruth - Listen to our hour long interview...

Today is the day that our interview is available at the 2015 RV and Travel Summit. If you haven't done so already, you'll have to register first, and then you'll get an email that gives the link to today's interviews.Actually, now that I check, it's only 43 minutes. We haven't listened to it ourselves yet. There's not a lot of editing that was done so I hope we didn't say anything too stupid! It's too bad, but the day that we did this, Ruth had a really raspy voice because she had a cold. So she doesn't say very much, which is rare for her. And I said a lot, which may not be a good thing. Anyhow, it should be interesting, and we're curious about your feedback.Click here to read more... ...Read more...

OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - Heaven rewind.....




From the site: OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - Heaven rewind.....

As it turns out every Interstate battery dealer in Bishop (there are four of them) is closed on Saturday and Sunday.  In addition, Napa auto which does sell 8D batteries under their own label, and was open, could not deliver a battery until after closing at 5 pm (only two people in the store on Saturday) so we opted to leave Bishop with only one starter battery and, as it turned out, that was enough.  The coach started right up then, and started right up every other time we had to start the 6V92  on Saturday.On this day (real Saturday) we had 6 serious climbs to make before the day was finished.....the first up was Sherwin Grade about 11 miles northeast of Bishop.  By the time we hit Sherwin Summit (6,426') we had g ...Read more...

On the Road of Retirement - Turning A Coleman Stove into a Texas Smoker…




From the site: On the Road of Retirement - Turning A Coleman Stove into a Texas Smoker…

Our son called and said he wanted to make the 3 hour drive from San Antonio to see us one more time before we leave the state of Texas. He and his family came to College Station to spend a night with us. It was great to see him and his wife and of course our grandkids one more time. We had a blast taking them for a walk around the Texas A&M campus. I wanted to make them a nice dinner but I also wanted some more Texas smoked BBQ like we had in Lockhart, Texas.  I bought a large rack of pork ribs and two pork tenderloins the day before they came. I coated the ribs and the tenderloins in my own rub. For those that don’t speak BBQ a rub is a mixture of spices and other ingredients that are sprinkled heavily on the meat and rubb ...Read more...
