How exciting for a little Aussie bloke to get published in the comments section of Howards entry 11 July on the Grand River. Just loved the video of the river and had to say so. Nearly made a fool of myself though when I saw them riding their bikes the next day and they were on the wrong side of the path. Oops....

I know this topic has been covered before, but any new advice or wisdom would be appreciated. We are just shy of 3 weeks living full time in the RV, and I love it. When we sold our home 1 1/2 years ago, we rented an apartment because we still had one son living with us and it was horrible, and very expensive. So...

For all but the most recent years every spot in the resort was full on the 4th of July. Last year I counted 4 empty spots and this year ther...

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of national coverage of this flood event. It hits a bit close to home since this is the area I grew up in. This is the farm I grew up on and where my mom still lives. She's been evacuated kicking and screaming, but at least we know she's safe. Kerr Home Place, Velva ND...

In October, there is a mini-rally in Grove, OK that is a regional for DRV Suites owners. We went last year to Carthage, MO and while there, it was announced that this year's rally would be in Oklahoma.

Walking through the CG tonight being invited into just about every campfire, my wife looked at me as she has so many times and said "Everyone Is So Nice".

My DW just got a Jury Summons in the mail from our County of residence. Does anyone have knowledge on how to deal with these when you are full timers? Do you still HAVE to appear on the assigned date or is there a loop-hole for getting an exemption. Thanks for any insight.
