They lived on the other side of the country and my mother had passed when i was very young so our relationship had diminished with time and distance. I knew they were very interested in birds so the wife and I bought some feeders and books and pursued the hobby so that we might have something to talk about and enjoy together. So what began on a whim in the birdseed aisle of walmart resulted in a very close relationship with my grandparents, a real appreciation of the natural world and lifelong interest in birds. And ultimately, it was our interest in birds that has led us to RVing. This book is still being written and we cannot wait to see where the next chapter leads...

Welcome to the iRV2 forums. You've got a great life attitude. Good luck and safe travels; let us know what you find along the way.

Thanks, Ed. We love the Dardanelle/Russellville area -it's a beautiful area and the folks are great.

Thanks Bamaman. I used to live in Gardendale, AL and spent two years traveling to every nook and cranny of the state. Unfortunately, it was all work related. We ARE blessed with numerous facilities here in AR and we've used many in the past, but never with an RV.
