End of an Era

I knew for a few years before the dreadful event that destroyed MsTioga, that my time as an RVer were coming to an end. When I could no longer go safely on MsTioga's roof because of balancing issues, the decision to reduce traveling became clearer.

It seems to me now, looking backward at what happened, that the trick is to keep doing the traveling life which I loved. And not anticipate the event which would inevitably come which ended my being a vagabonding RVer. I believe that I did exactly that. Even when it became clear to me that I could no longer endure the physical demands that RVing life required of me.

I am approaching my life now, the same way that I traveled with MsTioga. Not planning hardly anything. Just keeping my eyes open for whatever the road brought my way. And then taking off down that road searching for adventure.

Wow! The tears rolled as I watched your video A Tour of Ms Tioga and even as I sit and write this tonight. I remember when I first found your blog and the excitement I felt waking up every morning, grabbing my cup of coffee and wondering where George and Ms. Tioga would take us today. I'd always check in knowing you'd update throughout the day and even spent many hours going back to re-read prior posts. Over the years your life took a different road and I took a break from the RV world but I always checked up on you to see how life was treating you and Ms Tioga.

I remember seeing one of your posts and how close you were, so we jumped in the car and headed out searching. Unfortunately I missed you by 30 min. in Gila Bend, Az. I still hoped I could share a cup of coffee with you but you went south and I went north. So close!

George I've always wished you well and even now as the new chapter unfolds. Thank you for sharing your blog and your life through the good and the bad. Also for leaving your blog available so we softies can reminisce.
