We are full time travelers. We live in a 34 foot motor home. We travel from place to place towing a white Sprinter Van full of my tools and two Cattrikes.

We will also visit our daughter, Renee and her family in the Austen Texas area.

You can read our blog about the California Aqueduct from March 15, 2006 on (under construction, link to come), we are camped in that same campground. Continue reading The Wild Life:
