We have been reading Howard's Journal for a few weeks now and are finding it - and the information in the forum - very helpful. 2 years ago we seriously talked about becoming full-timers (years ago we'd boondocked in an RV for 3 months and enjoyed it). This summer we took the whole month of August and dro...
