Greeting Everyone: I have a question and I am sure that I am in the right place to get some good advice. I will try to keep my question narrow in scope to help with the answer. In the past all of my travels have been direct, minimum time and back again to go back to work. Now I am trying to plan a trip to the Rally a...

Hi, As we get ready for our first full timing trip, I'm trying to figure out our agenda. (I KNOW, as full timers we should leave the agenda behind!

We are planning to travel to Arkansas during the first two weeks of January and then return to New Mexico.

Liberty Harbor Marina & RV Park in New Jersey is very close to Manhattan, but I am not getting positive feelings about staying there. Have any of you been at this park? Did you like it? Did you feel safe? Would you return? Thank you so much.

We are now in Blain, Wa. getting ready to head into Canada on our way to Alaska. We have heard pros & cons about Hwy 37 (Cassier). Has anyone traveled it in the last year? How was the road condition & was it worth the trip. The Milepost says it cuts off 130 miles from going all the way up 97.
