A List of Firsts

The Rig, the Road and the RV Life By Debbie LaFleiche January 1, 2018 Tags: Adventure, Historical Site, Meriwether Lewis, Natchez Trace Parkway, National Park Service 11 Comments

TSince today is the first day of a brand new year, it’s the perfect day to post a list of firsts that are now stored in my mental filing cabinet. It’s impossible to transition from a home-owning 9-to-5 person (a traditional life) to a retired home-on-wheels person (a full-time RV life) without experiencing a lot […]

Alaska By Debbie LaFleiche December 18, 2017 Tags: Alaska, Alaska Highway, ALCAN, On the Road 7 Comments

Before I start the story of the trip down the Alaska Highway, let me tell you about the Alaska Highway Bible. If you are going to take the trip yourself, you simply must purchase a copy of the Milepost. Yes, half of it or more is advertisements. But the other half is so valuable, you […]

If things had gone according to the plans I made from the safety and security of my sticks-and-bricks, for Thanksgiving I would’ve been feeding turkeys instead of eating them. The reality of jumping into life as a full-time RVer was harder than I expected. Thankfully, I had enough sense to admit it and adjust my […]

This post was going to be the story of adventures (and misadventures) on our trip down the Alaska Highway. But to get to the full drama, I must start the story two days earlier, before heading out of town for the 3,500 mile drive. The pre-trip shenanigans turned out to be enough of a story […]
