| (March 9, 2016) - In the morning I work on the blog, then take a break around noon for lunch and to go for a walk. Sometimes I head west on ATV trails, sometimes I get on Happy Camp Road (no lie, that's what Google Maps calls the spur road I'm on) and walk towards east towards the power lines and the construction. That's the way I go on this particular walk. | | (March 9, 2016) - Our coach has an Independent Front Suspension manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

So, what does lip balm have to do with RVing? you ask. Everything... nothing. Depends on your point of view. For me, RVing means going to beautiful places in nature.

One year we hunted in the forest and hung the eggs from the tree branches. Another year, we sealed the eggs with reflective tape and used our flashlights to hunt. | | (March 9, 2016) - Both Mike and I have had it. And while our Roadtrek seats are very comfy and have great lumbar support, all that sitting puts a lot of pressure on your butt and the back of your thighs. |
