Finding Things To Do

Up this morning with Sherri's alarm. The old Prison break alarm went off about 5:00 am and I was up to see if the coffee had made. Sure nuff it was ready for us to partake.
The morning was warmer today than yesterday. We had frost on the Jeep when we got up yesterday but today was balmy. I turned the heat off and poured Sherri a cup of coffee. We sat down to have our short talk. She told me that she would be working in Mount Pleasant week after next. Well that wont be too far from home. I am not going to travel with her in the upcoming jobs. I will be staying at the Lake and catching up on some projects that I had started and have not finished. Having property other than your house on wheels means that you have to care for it and keep it up. This is one thing some folks have to deal with when they keep their homes and try to travel too. It can be done but you have to return home every once in a while and cut the grass and check on things.
OK so this is that time when I have to part from my wife and do all those things and then when I get things done maybe we can plan some more adventures together.
Much the same as work camping for now we have one more year of Sherri working and then she will be free to travel about. We still have to come back to the lake like I said and keep things up but then it will be where we can leave again and not have to worry about reporting back for a J O B.
I like the fact that we have the Lake property. This is a place we can come and spend time with no rent and very little utility bills. We have a place that when we come to we can put money into the travel budget and not take it out until it is time for us to go on the road again. What we normally spend each month on fuel for moving and fuel for sight seeing we do not speed. We do not spend the money on rents and if you add all these things up we can put away enough money for a nice trip later.
This is something that I tell my RVing friends about. It does not hurt to have a refuge like this. Many of our friends that do not own a place off the road are now looking for such a place. The best advice I can give them is to find one that has very little overhead so that much of the money you don't spend traveling can be funneled into a travel account for later.
Remember having a house may not be the answer if your trying to save money. The expense of keeping up a house never goes away and the insurance cost can get expensive.
Now I am speaking from a poor mans pocketbook. If you have more money than Carter has pills then disregard all of the above.
One thing good about reading journals you can associate with the ones that fit your abilities. I get a kick out of reading some of the journals on line where RVers eat out all the time and buy something new every day. They take cruises to foreign lands and then have money left over for long trips up and down the highways. Why if these had been the journals I had started out reading I would have never taken up this dream. No way I could ever be able to afford that type of life style.
I wonder how many people out there gave up their dream thinking they had to have a ton of money to travel and see all the things there are to see. I have found several journals that are based on doing free stuff and staying in less expensive RV parks. Now these are the journals I levitate toward. I can see that there is much to do out there without having a bank load of money saved up...
