Learning the Ropes

Well guys, we have been on the road since September and willing to offer advice if anyone needs it!! We started in Okla. to Dallas area then: Tuscon, Quartzite,Bullhead City, Fresno, Ca. area,(Yosemite/Sequoia) Grants Pass, OR., Gold Beach, OR and Coos Bay. Soon headed to Eugene, Portland before heading into Washington and Montana for the summer near Glacier/Yellowstone N.P., and then So. Dakota Black Hills for the fall. We will return to our S.E. Okla. cabin for the deer hunting in October. Chasing good weather can be really habit forming. Meeting a lot of nice full time road warriors along the way. Come join the fun we never realized!!!
  • So far we have never seen less than 40 degrees or higher than 72 on the trip. Considering that our Oklahoma home base has had a very cold winter!! About half the days on Oregon Coast are sunny and 45-65 degrees. May be unusual year?? North of Fresno has had more rain it appeared. Will be moving toward Washington in May.
  • You seem to be chasing the weather in the wrong direction! Winter in OR/WA is not really the dream of most RVers! late Spring and Summer in the NW will be AWESOME! This year you will have been lucky as the NW is in an extreme drought and you are not seeing the area as it should be. In any case, that's the beauty of being fulltime. If you don't like what's going on here.....move!
  • Good to hear that you are enjoying your fulltime life style.

    Chasing the weather is our goal. Been at it going on 12 years.
