About Us

We are both retired. Built a house near a beach in Mexico to spend the winter away from the cold and snow. Have another home in Washington on the Pend Oreille River where we spend the summer. We divide our time between the two homes.

On our way


We had hoped to avoid snow! Look at what we left. Very pretty, but not fun to drive in.  

Tom went to plug in the electrical connection between the motor home and the Jeep which controls the turn signals and brake lights on the Jeep. It was damaged, so called Camping World.   Yes, they had what we needed. Tried to pull in the slide and it wouldn't roll in properly. The snow had turned into ice on the slide topper. Went into the shop to get a ladder, not thinking we had already tuned on the alarm system. Getting the ice off and heard the alarm going off, ran to turn it off. Luckily I got it turned off in a timely matter so the sheriff wasn't called in. Then drove to the store. Wrong part. They didn't have what we needed. Tried another RV store... closed on Saturdays. Tom decided we would continue down the road, which means NO brake lights or turn signal lights on the Jeep. Weather report said LaGrande was OK, no snow. But, the pass before LaGrande had snow and it was getting dark. , Chains recommended, we don't have chains for the motor home. Remember too, no lights on the Jeep. A slow 17 mile an hour trip and at least six plus cars/trucks seen that slid off the road! Nerves on edge to say the least. A fun first day.
