It's A Sad Day

Sounds like alot of great memories you have had and have given to others as well. I hope to have a long camping career too.

Good luck with your new adventures.

I hope I have the same wisdom when my time comes. You sound like a great guy. I wish I had bad the opportunity to share a fire and a beer with you. Enjoy those great memories!!

Sooner or later we'll all have our last camping trip in the books. We're all alike in that.

But while there may not be any more trips to plan, we never lose the memories of the good times with family and friends we've accumulated over the years. Those hours around the campfire, the open sky at night, and even the hassle of packing up at trip's end never leave us. We don't turn them in when the camper pulls down the driveway behind someone else's truck. We get to keep them.

Great memories never give you a sore back, or a sunburn, or a bill to pay. And beyond a certain point, that starts to look pretty good.

So it's not really goodbye to a camper. It's the conclusion of a successful campaign of excursions and adventures. And a good time to reflect on all you've accomplished!

But stick around. Just like anyone with a long career, your wisdom and experience are valuable to the rest of us, even if you've "retired"! Swapping stories is a great way to relive the best of days gone by!

Seventy was ten years ago. We just don't go as far or as often any more.

sorry that ya had to throw in the towel but there are plenty of other nice ways to relax.

We count in that "older" group and find some of the jobs that were "nothing" when we bought our HTT turned into a major chore. Change to the TT and so far, so good. I sincerely commend you for realizing and making changes when you felt that hauling a rig around the country wasn't safe for yourselves or others. Hoping we have that good judgment when the time comes. So maybe you have some friends who are still young whipper-snappers and will let you hitch a ride from time to time. So now on to the next phase of your lives and discovering some new and enjoyable activities. Whatever they may be, I certainly wish you well. Be sure to lurk as your acquired wisdom from past years will help those coming along. Best wishes.

I'm sorry to hear this. Wishing you the best - and perhaps some other way to enjoy traveling.

Best of Luck
