    Honda Element

    Does anyone have one? I just bought a 2008. The roominess is amazing, especially with the back seats out. I'm thinking this car might take a platform bed - ?

    Road Accident with Dog

    :( Well, it happened. A man in a pickup truck rammed into my driver's side as I was turning onto a road and totaled my SUV. I was taken to the ER and a couple who witnessed the accident had to take my dog. I have multiple injuries and will require surgery. Maybe #2!  I feel awful for my...

    Dog Left In Car

    My response to having the Sheriff called to my car while I was shopping: I wanted to thank your store employees for checking on my dog while I was in your store, today. At first, upon hearing an emergency call for my vehicle, I was worried. I soon realized the call was for my Golden Retriever...

    National Mammography Day

    This year marks my 20th anniversary FREE. I might not be here to say that had my husband not tricked me into having my first mammogram at age 40. I thought I was just fine with my healthy lifestyle and a positive attitude. I was proven wrong on that very visit! If you're traveling, most major...

    Harness/Seatbelt

    Does anyone harness or seatbelt in their dog when traveling? We are going back out on the road, later this week. When she was a puppy I just let her roam around while I drove. That was last year when she was a puppy. This year, she weighs 80 pounds. I worry that she might get injured if I have...

    Women Only: CRVL

    This may be a strange question but I wonder if there is such a thing as decal or something indicating CRVL...I would find it helpful and it would encourage me to approach others when camping- especially when boondocking, if I knew they were like-minded.

    Gear?!

    If you could recommend only one thing, (other than shelter), to make your comfortability more comfortable 'on the road', what would it be ? I should say, what is the one thing you do every day or some days  to make sure you are pleased with your life? : Is it a visit to Starbucks; a walk around...

    Where was I?

    I know it sounds strange but I don't recall where I was... I'd just left the "triangle" in NM and we did visit the Georgia O'Keefe Ranch... Beautiful drive but where were we? The town we camped outside of was very small. A couple of shops and restaurants. We ate at a Saloon because the lady in...

    Has Anything Ever Happened...?

    After reading a post by another member about a startling dream he had, I remembered a couple of incidences which were startling for me while camping. I wonder if anyone else has had startling happenings while on the road. The one that sticks out in my mind happened while I was hiking a short 2...

    Christmas

    As of today, Christmas is four months away. This will be my first on the road, on my own. I'm looking forward to it but also want a plan. I'm thinking Sedona. Has anyone been? Boondocking, nearby? Weather, that time of year?

    Dirt Cheap

    I finally discovered Dollar Tree. I was surprised that everything really is a dollar. And you can find brand food staples and essentials. Very pleased with that. But the store I ran across recently is great! It's called Dirt Cheap. The one I visited was a mess but the bargains on new...

    Women Only: Just An Observation

    I am not entirely new to traveling alone and bondocking but I had an experience over the weekend which shook me up a bit and I feel conflicted- I was camping alone and all was peaceful until I woke to find a van parked next to me. The man with the van was over-friendly and also eventually asked...

    Good Morning

    Good Morning. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Liv. I have travelled extensively since my darling husband died and that has been a few years, now. No family. I still have our home but have made the decision to sell and begin RVing full-time. I am trying to decide whether to purchase a...
