Much time has passed since I’ve written anything in my blog about our G.A.S. Adventure. I’ll just say that it has been, and continues to be a roller-coaster ride. Lots of closer and lots of new beginnings. Over the past several weeks and months we’ve prepared our home for sale, packed up, sold, or given away some more of our stuff and are feeling lighter within each passing moment. We boxed up our remaining worldly possessions, stuffed them in a moving truck, hitched our Prius to the back of it (canoe on top) and hit the road. Tuesday the 15th of August we made our first stop signing\closing\selling our home we near Orchard Lake, in Lakeville Minnesota. Wednesday morning we checked out a Roadtrek Adventurous near Ft. Collins that was for sale, then that afternoon I test drove a Roadtrek 210 in Colorado Springs. Thursday morning we met with Karen, owner of Hickman RV and made an offer on the Roadtrek 210. We reached an agreement, did the paperwork and we are now the proud owners of our first class B motorhome. Her right-hand man Kyle, (originally from Duluth, Mn) showed us all the amenities of our new RV and how to use them. Karen and her staff where very professional and we’re extremely pleased with the service we experienced. Thursday late evening we arrived at the home of our Son Eric and our awesome daughter-in-law Lauren in Durango, Co. Friday morning, we unpacked our Rental truck and filled a 10 x 10 storage unit with our stuff. Saturday was Eric’s birthday and he was planning on going Van camping with some friends. Great timing for us. After a short 27 minute drive from Eric and Lauren’s house to Transfer Park Campground in the San Juan National Forest, we packed three VW camper vans and our Roadtrek into a beautiful site next to a mountain stream. What a perfect way to break in our new home on wheels, spending time in the great outdoors with friends and family. We spent Saturday and Sunday rock climbing, swimming, cooking, hiking, mushroom hunting, napping or just hanging around the camp fire sharing stories, laughing and dancing. Not bad for our first week on our G.A.S. Adventure.
