There is one more twist to the RV'ing story: Some of us just plain like the challenge of getting way out there in nature - but doing it with a refrigerator, a freezer, a shower, an oven, a furnace, and an air conditioner - all as close by as possible at the end of the day.
I can only imagine what it would be like having our RV parked right at one of the spectacular places where we used to backpack to - the remote shores of Sandpiper Lake.
Boy ... I wish I could afford an Earthroamer ... or a heavy lift helicopter!
