HOW MUCH LONGER

I just turned 82 although I don't feel it. I wondering how many are in that age bracket and how much longer do you think you will be wheeling a motor home around. I hope to do so for another 8 to 10 years. I've spent most of my life with teen agers, teaching was my career. I think that has helped keep me young and a little crazy. :W

    The last time I washed the motor home I told someone it was much longer, wider and higher than it was when I first started washing it 12 years ago and the ladder I use has more steps than it did when I was 68 and started RVing. :)

    Up until a couple years ago we had two guys who volunteered at FMAC rally in Indio. One was 91 the other 94. The 94 year old not only drove his own motor home but directed the parking of other coaches.

    When you stop driving is between you and your doctor. If you feel OK and your doctor agrees that your vision and motor skills are OK then go for it.
    Just be honest with yourself because your life and those that share the road with you are at stake.

    Happy birthday.

    I just had some fence installed at my S&B. Two guys did the installation.
    The one was 84, he dug holes and moved the concrete bags, posts and wood panels around with no problem.
    And, it was a very hot/humid day.
    They did a great job on the fence.

    You have a lot of RVing in your future.
    Enjoy your travels.
