Well, we took the plunge today and purchased an RV.  A 1996 34' (yes thirty-four feet long) Fleetwood Bounder Class A motor home. 

We came across it two weeks ago while out on a motorcycle ride...   We were just riding some back roads and as we were riding along OK Mill Road in Snohomish WA, Cheryl taps on my shoulder and points out a Bounder that has a "for sale" sign in the windshield.  We circled around and came back asking if we could look at it.   We spent a couple of hours there making new friends with Allen and Melinda.  Eventually we had to leave, but promised to let them know...

During the coming week we looked at other homes and figured out finances.  This was a good deal and in good shape.  We called them back. "Is it still available?"   "Yes," they said.  So we headed out last Saturday to give it a closer look and left a deposit.

Today we went back, completed the paperwork, did a final run through of how things worked, and drove 'er home.  

The rig handles so well and the engine is powerful!  I frequently found myself going OVER the speed limit rather than trying to keep up with it!  

Cheryl was able to load the rig up with all of the stuff she has been setting aside or buying this week.  We are READY to hit the road!

First stop?  A KOA campground in Concrete WA for our first two nights out.  Our shakedown cruise!

Hope you are able to come along on our trips!   Cheers.
