After raising 2 kids and then working at Panasonic Avionics near Seattle, WA, for almost 25 years, it was time to retire. Our dream was to pack up the travel trailer and spend a year to see the US. In November, 2010, George and I started our trip, with a focus on visiting National Parks. The original plan has been modified--we swapped the 27' Prowler for a 34' Big Country, and who cares how long it takes?!
