The gift that the many visits were to your Mom and to Favorite Neighbor were golden. The challenges of the fact finding mission in the rig were well met. Your walk; your priorities. My privilege to read of it, and vicariously enjoy!Turtleladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745677334328880585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-6919638402382002592017-06-08T06:18:17.307-07:002017-06-08T06:18:17.307-07:00Sightseeing -the activity of visiting places of in...Sightseeing -the activity of visiting places of interest in a particular location.<br /><br />Then there is seeing the sights. Look up synonyms for sightseeing and you will find a huge list of activities that do not require a 'toad'.<br /><br />I travel about 5,000 miles every year going from camp to camp where I stay for 1-3 months at a time. While there I do not do any sightseeing. However, I do not drive Interstates so I do manage to see the sights. <br /><br />Consider what is important for YOU. Perhaps seeing the same things that 'The People' queue up to see is it but need not be so.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-18444766286781861612017-06-07T22:15:37.719-07:002017-06-07T22:15:37.719-07:00That is what it costs driving a MH!

You have to take longer to get where you are going. Push it for say, one day out of three and find a cheap RV park or boondock for the other two and this brings your costs down to a much more reasonable $30 or $40 per day and you get to see the country on it's way past.

I thought about a motorbike or motorcycle but since I've never ridden either one, I'd be afraid to start now. It just seems too unprotected. I'm sure you will work things out as you get used to your new life style..Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-41157243816293020712017-06-07T11:38:03.297-07:002017-06-07T11:38:03.297-07:00Yikes! $100/day for fuel x 30 days in a month = $3...Yikes! $100/day for fuel x 30 days in a month = $3,000! That's if you travel like you did every day :-) I don't think I'd like living in an RV full time. I think I'd prefer a truck with camper shell to sleep or tent camp w/propane stove to cook meals. I mostly tent camp now and love it.

But like you said having a car would make a huge difference, hope you can make it happen and you will enjoy the lifestyle much more.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30562318.post-16119338800294124402017-06-07T10:57:11.926-07:002017-06-07T10:57:11.926-07:00I don't see this as a 'bad' plan for t...I don't see this as a 'bad' plan for the present. <br /><br />Some thoughts: Will Bosley wear a harness? If he will, add a leash and he could go car-camping with you. What about a motorized bicycle/scooter for the motorhome? It will be interesting to see what you come up with.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.com
