Today is our 1 year anniversary as a full-time RVers. In all my life, I never thought that would be something I would actually say! It’s been an interesting and amazing year, what with letting go of the past, enjoying the present and looking forward to the future.
Asheville was the start of our journey up the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s stunningly beautiful with amazing views and is well maintained, but isn’t the easiest driving in a large RV with a “toad” (tow vehicle).

We left home on August 10th, first to drop stuff off at storage and then to do a weeklong shakedown nearby while we worked out the kinks. We stayed at a Seven Feathers Casino RV park in Canyonville, OR, not too far from home. Turns out that was a good idea because in that first week we identified a TON of stuff we really didn’t need.
