Retired Vagabond
Retired, traveling with my Sidekick Jagger, pursuing the life of a "Retired Vagabond" and blogging about my adventures along the way.
Preparing for Southern California
Now I am preparing for my month long loop through Southern California and then a Spring trip East. Along with a few more warranty items, I am doing some regular annual maintenance on both the Coach and the Workhorse. Since leaving last February 10th, I have piled on 20,000 miles to the Workhorse and towed the Coach 5,000 miles.
Reflection: Mesa Falls Idaho – Hail, Rain Lightning
We woke early the morning of September 7th to partial clouds. Jagger I started the day by going for our morning walk, usually not more than a mile or so. The weather was looking somewhat unpredictable, but still a beautiful morning.
Packing Up For A Maintenance Trip
Utility Loom under the Kitchen slide. This is a bridge for electrical lines and has broken once before. Bretz RV in Missoula, MT did a haphazard repair that I had to pay for and now it’s broke again.
About The Coach – My Fifth Wheel Home
I accepted delivery of what I now call “The Coach” in February 2013. That day became the first of many following days of exploration and adventure; not to mention the […]
Mesa Winter Camp
In come the slides, up come the stabilizers. All hatches, cabinets and vents closed and secured. I move the Workhorse into position and a catastrophic failure happens…
Happy New Year 2015
This past year was an accelerated learning experience for me and the learning isn’t over. I have enjoyed the transition into retirement very much, considering I was a workaholic most of my life. I think what made the difference is I tried something new, “Full Time Rving”.
A Cold Winters Morning – Merry Christmas
‘Twas a cold winters morning and the puppy was still snoring, while visions of goodies pranced in his head. I too was sleeping when suddenly I awoke to a small soft steading beeping. What, not Santa’s Reindeers, so where was this beeping from?
Exploring Sawtelle Mountain Idaho
I wake up in Island Park, Idaho at a great RV park with room for Jagger to run close by at Lake Henry BLM area and the Sawtelle National forest, right across the street. This morning we are lounging around, recuperating from the drive here yesterday and the setup of our camp. […]
Traveling to Island Park, Idaho
With the coach all hitched to the workhorse, Jagger and I say good-bye to Bannack Ghost Town and head South-East to Island Park, Idaho
Bannack Ghost Town Montana
Strolling down the main road in town you can image what it was like so many lifetimes ago.
Heading South for the Winter
The wind was howling and the sky was threatening. But it was my only chance to at least see where many Nez Perce Indians were slaughtered and experience the sadness. Both cultures clashed and misunderstanding prevailed, but that was reality in that day. So I went out into the battleground alone to feel the history all around…
