Hit the road today!

So about 3 years ago my wife and i were camping in Colorado at Taylor park at the annual RZR rally and started talking about how great it would be to just travel around in our TH and ride all the great different areas of the country and see all the sites. This discussion carried on for over a year and as the frequency and length of our trips occurred the more serious we became about actually just doing it. We finally made the decision to sell the business and the house and go full time at least for an extended time. Business sold last year and we closed on the Home/property today and hit the road. So today is day 1 for us. We left Houston at 5:33PM after living there for 30+ years. Getting everything done was a huge challenge but we managed to get everything done in time and with the exception of a 5 hr delay in closing everything went smooth thanks to a fantastic agent. So we'll arrive at our first destination in a day or so at Cloud 9 ATV ranch in Caufield Mo. to meet up with with friends to ride the RZR for awhile and just relax and recover from the moving and repairing and cleaning . Clearing out a 3500 SF house and 5000 SF shop after 16 years was a monumental chore to say the least. We've been reading and getting ready for nearly 2 years waiting for the day we would take the big leap. So 7 hrs ago we began the big adventure. 3500 SF to 300 lol. Love it!
  • Hope you enjoy the lifestyle as we have for 16 years! Arizona has a lot of places to ride in winter. :) Where are you spending your first one?
  • Congrats!

    Remember it is not a 'vacation' it is a new lifestyle!!

    Slow and easy..........no rush. ENJOY IT.

  • Congratulations! MY wife and I sold our home in this past June. We will be heading out next May. Although we won't be truly full timers, as we plan on this being just a year trip, but we just might keep rolling on.

    Never know what will be around the next bend.

    Have fun!
  • Living the dream!!! Congratulations!!!! Have fun and be safe!
