Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I just came in from shoveling the FIRST foot of snow from our driveway. Yep, you read right...the first FOOT! We're having a major winter storm here in Colorado and it's supposed to continue snowing for the next 24 hours (it started about 18 hours ago) with at least another foot expected! As I was shoveling, I was wondering if I'll miss this. I actually enjoy the snow and don't even mind the occassional shoveling, although I might feel differently tomorrow!
Because I believe everything has a meaning, I was wondering what the universe is trying to tell me. Since we've scheduled our first major garage sale this weekend, is the universe trying to derail us? Telling us to slow down and have second thoughts? Or is this meant as just another reminder of what we won't have to deal with next year? Since I'm trying to focus on the positives, I choose to see the latter.
So wish us luck for a good turnout on Saturday. And for all of you who are enjoying the warm of the South (yes, everything is warm in comparison!), thank your lucky stars!
Good luck with your sale.We are actually doing exactly the opposite of what most people do this time of year.We are leaving Arizona headed back to Colorado to take care of some business at our stix and brix( not ours for long we hope). Choose the latter and let nothing derail your plans.Garage sale people are a hearty lot and won't let snow keep them from a good deal.

After being cooped up for a couple of days due to the snow, people will be ready to get out and spend money this weekend. As Racerguy said, garage sale people are a hearty bunch.
Connie, are you in the Denver area? We're in the very northern edge of the Denver metro, and so far, it looks like we've gotten about 20 inches of snow. I'm tired of shoveling!! I said to my husband yesterday - this is why I want outta here! Good luck w/your sale!
I'm in agreement with all of you! We just need to keep "plowing through" and moving forward. The snow did have it's bright side - we're both home from work today and taking advantage of the 'free' day to prep for the sale. Hopefully, that will mean we won't have to stay up into the wee hours on Friday night getting ready! There's a positive side to everything!!
We live above Cedaredge, Colorado. It is about 60 miles east of Grand Junction. We are at the 7,500 ft level. We have about 6 " of very wet snow. I was out Tuesday trying to finish off a solar installation on our 5er and, as I bent over in the basement I began to feel wetness on my neck - sleet! I buttoned up the fiver and now have to wait until tomorrow to finish up. Luckily, I had finished the roof mount and it is sealed up. Can't wait to head south to Imperial Dam north of Yuma.
Possibly you should put the same moves on the snow that you displayed while square dancing in Kerrville. A good do-si-do down the driveway would make the snow fly.
Better yet, you and Tracy should allamande right out of Colorado in a new RV!!!

HA! I like your thinking Charles! I think if we tried to do-si-do down the driveway right now, we'd end up on our derrieres! But we're working on the new RV!!
Connie, Sometimes the devil throws up road blocks in our lives. Stay on the positive side and look at this as "we are doing the right thing". I really like the snow, that's why we move from Charleston, SC to Indiana. But Sharon my DW is getting less tolarant of the cold weather.
