It sure was a chore emptying out the house, but nice to be done with all that, and no grass to mow.

Congratulations Bruce and Linda.

We are wading through the process now, all the shop tools are finally gone.

Target is 2015 to "turn the page" off on a new adventure.

             Full timing ----been thinking about this for some time . I like mowing grass  ETC . I can see the lure of the road . So far 4 months at a time has been my fix to cure that urge . My toys , tractors , shop stuff , trails through the woods, ETC , would be tough to give up . Our connection with our local community and church would  also make it tough to leave . Now friends  of 50 years figure in there some where too . Yes we have family here also . I do not think it will work for us . For those of you that can ,I say good for you and wish you well and happiness down the road and look forward to camping with you to hear your stories of full timing .                                              Brad Metzger

We're in the same boat as Brad Metzger except that we full-timed on a 32' sailboat for 5 years in the 1980s so we know the process of trying to determine which things we owned and which things owned us.

A home base is as close as we can get to full-timing with forays south in search of warm weather and warm friends. But family and ties to the community bring us back. Plus, in the summer, north central WA is a pretty decent place to be with easy getaways to nice spots.

Have fun... drop by. :)

Well we do have family and friends here, but we will be flying here every year around Christmas. I'm not retired "yet" so we are here until at least March of 15 to get every thing sorted out
