Hello from Arkansas
(Preview)
We have been fulltiming for about 8 years while I continue to work but this is the year we finally "hit the road". I have been on the rv forums and rv groups for most of the time but more of a lurker than a talker. Maybe that will change as we get to meet some of you. Thanks for letting me aboard.

It feels so-o-o r...
