Chari And Steve’s Travels For Year Two On The Road
WOW!! Can it really be two years since we pulled out of our driveway in Charlotte, NC leaving life as we’d known it for a modern day Travels With Charlie or in our case Opal? The answer is yes. We have 65,500 miles on the truck to prove it. In 2014 we stayed in 39 campgrounds and travelled 33,500 miles with about 30% of the time pulling the trailer.

The Vagabond And The Gypsy
We made our first international trip to the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Chari has learned to hook up and disengage the truck and trailer. As of last week she now has driven interstates, backroads and into a truck stop. Learning to back into a campsite is a goal for year three. Real women drive RVs! After eighteen months of being east of the Mississippi River we’ve now crossed over to explore the west for a few years.
We’ve also experienced the down side of mechanical failure and accidents. Even this hasn’t caused us to question our decision to continue the RV lifestyle. We love it. We’ve seen and done so much only to discover we’ve barely scratched the surface.
We are officially SoDaks now, that’s residents of South Dakota. This is one of the most popular states for full timers to use for residency.
Most of all we hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us. What will Year Three bring our way? You’ll just have to pack your virtual bags and come along.
And now we return you to your regularly scheduled blog…
We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby!

Love the map graphic showing your travels! Congrats on moving on to year three!
Thanks to Google Earth, it’s easy. Reminds me of two kids with spray string trying to out do each other. Can’t imagine a better life!
