Jeremy,
Thanks for the kind offer. I completely understand your situation as we are in the same boat. My career allowed me to move to various states and experience different areas and the people with the last stop in Vermont (one of the most beautiful places we have lived). But with aging parents out on the west coast (CA) it was time, so I retired July 5th and we are packing up the house and starting our full timing adventure. The goal is to primarily stay out west mostly to be close to the parents.
Please tell your wife that her father is in our thoughts.
As for the boards, they will be on top of the truck. I have spend two weeks modifying the 5th getting ready to go; extra shelves, stereo, bike rack, ....
And yes, we will let you know if we are in the area!
BTW, I'm Dan and the DW is JoDee.
