Our History

Ohio, United States
Having recently retired we are fulfilling our long time dream. We began our camping life with a tent in 1969 adjusting as each of our three sons arrived over the years and gradually progressed to a 32' Class A in 2007. Even after our sons became too busy with their own interests, we continued dreaming over the years. The Louisville, KY 2003 Great North American RV Rally and the book "Movin' On" convinced us that a motorhome after retirement was really for us! In 2007 we sold our home and disposed of most of our belongings and awaited the wife's retirement on February 1, 2008. We were out in our first motorhome ten times in our first summer in 2007, with our grandson joining us eight of those ten times. Since he must stay behind with his mom and dad to continue school, we told him he can join us on vacations (by car or plane) anywhere we are as we travel the US. Imagine the history lessons he could acquire! However, Mom and Dad don't look at it that way, especially the flying. Fortunately we don't miss work one bit!! We just miss the friends there. We have many hobbies to keep us busy when we decide to sit still for a day. Hope to see you on the road.

SATURDAY DRIVE ABOUT THE RICHFIELD AND OTHER VALLEY TOWNS


Stopped here for gas!

Desert Flower

Southern Baptist Church we attend.
The Senior Center where we ate lunch on Thursday

Houses that interested us as we drove about Richfield, Monroe and Center Valley Town here in the valley on Friday and Saturday.  Hard to believe that the month of May is about gone!!.

Looking across the valley and the towns dot the valley.
From large family home to --


-- Little Grandma house!

Love the styles!

Bigger yet!!

Not sure what this building was in it's day.
Maybe a school?



We also made a tour of the cemetery here in Richfield.  It is large and covered with flowers.  Since the decorations were to be removed by the Monday after Memorial Day we decided that we needed to take the pictures now.  Some of the headstones had the Mormon Temple from Salt Lake City on them.





 More houses -- and then the sheep --



Was this a church in it's day?





When the settlers moved into the Utah Territory in the 1850's they found that sheep were often easier to raise than cattle.  In Monroe this looked like a good size sheep ranch.
Back home and we watched two neighbors across the street leave.  Wish we could have spent more time getting to know the one couple who left for Colorado, but they went to visit grandchildren in Phoenix for part of their stay.  The other neighbor was moving after being in this park for four years. Not sure where he was going.

Home is on the left.

Another week gone and will stay here for one more week before moving a couple hundred miles north.
Check in again and God Bless.
