Well, I listed my home for sale in preparation for full time RVing and have an offer pending...hope to close by Feb. at the latest.
It will be just a little longer though before I begin my full time RV lifestyle. My 13 old son and I are going to be riding our bikes across the country in memory of my brother who we lost to cancer in 2002.
I will likely be staying with a friend from the time my home sells until we begin our ride. Once our ride is complete then we will enter the full time RV lifestyle.
Our trip is 4,254 miles...if you see us on the road please say hi!
How will you recognize me? Just look for the 13 year old riding with the guy with the long beard! You see, I have made an agreement with my son that I won't shave until we finish our ride!
To follow us on our ride, visit our blog....we will be updating it daily during our ride with location, photos and videos! Again....please honk or say hi if you see us on the road this summer! Our blog is Ask me About my Beard.
Wishing Everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!

Thanks! We have been having trouble deciding the direction of travel to go? Then I got to thinking, who better to ask than RVers?
Our blog has a map of our route. If we could ask members of RV Dreams to post feedback on our blog that would be awesome!
What a great thing to do! I've added a link from my blog to your blog and I will be following your journey. I will also return to your blog and make a donation to your trip. Such a Coollllllllllll thing to do!

What a fantastic journey! Wishing you both all of the best... any many memories to be made.
Have you connected with the Vogel family? They biked all over America for nearly a year.. and then went from Alaska to Argentina with their 2 pre-teen twin sons. www.familyonbikes.com is where they blog at... they may have some tips and information to share with you. They even have a book out now about their American roadtrip.

Cherie,
Thanks so much! Yes, I have reached out to them...in fact they reside in my home town! What are the chances of that?
Hope to meet up with them soon to get their feedback and advice for our trip :)

dannick, looks like you will be coming right past us. Don't know when you will pass through SW Missouri, but be sure to let us know when you're in the area. If schedules permit you are welcome to spend a night or two with us.

I hope the "logistics" of RV living is easier than planning for a bike ride!
That said...my son and I have decided to begin our ride in Colorado so we can be with family when we kick off our ride!
We will begin in the gorgeous community of Breckenridge, Co.
Thanks to everyone in the RV Dreams family for your kind words and support!
Hope to see many of you on the road this summer!
God Bless,
Dan & Nick
