Bill And Pam's Adventure

 We figured that we should do a trial run... somewhere near home, and somewhere near some conveniences like a Walmart, a decent take-out place for dinner...  things like that...  And if possible,  inexpensive with full hookups, wi-fi, and most important pull-through sites...  Northgate RV Travel Park in Athens, AL. Easy in, easy out... and dinner (take-out) from the local Applebee's restaurant...  And the dogs were not too upset with the change in their lives...  a really good thing...   Roxy getting comfortable on one of the recliners...  And Abby preferred the floor...  at least for now....

 It all started on a coldish Saturday afternoon in January 2020....   we went out "shopping" for  a camping trailer.   We had come to the conclusion that we actually had enough money saved to retire.  We had discussed for a number of years that we wanted to retire and travel around the country to look and experience all those sights we had heard about and wanted to see ourselves...  Places like the biggest ball of string in the world, Civil War forts, the northern lights in Alaska... and the list went on and on....   Well, we went to "just look".. and, yes...   we bought a new travel trailer..  a Grand Design Imagine 22MLE..   small enough (22 feet) to handle easily, and yet big enough for the two of us, and the two dogs... And then, we had to get a truck to tow the trailer...  of course....   And we are ready to depart on our great, new adventure...
