but I was young, and all our friends owned homes. The first house was
a fixer-upper in La Mesa, but we never quite had the cash to fix ’er up. We later bought a nicer home in the rolling hills of Vista for $175,000, but at the time the $1500 a month house payments ate at me. We held on for 25 years, eventually paying $2400 after refinancing with an unscrupulous mortgage broker. We left that place when our two children flew the nest. During the beginning of the housing crash last decade, we were one of the first to feel the pinch since I was in the newspaper business and Ralph was winding up his career in the health- food industry. We decided at the age of 50 and 60, respectively, we would throw my newspaper résumé out into the wind and follow it — leaving family, house, and San Diego behind. We landed in an
affordable rental — $950 — on the shores of Lake Chelan, Washington, a charming town between Seattle and Spokane sur- rounding the third deep- est lake (1486 feet) in the country. Only Crater Lake in Oregon (1943 feet) and Lake Tahoe (1645 feet) are deeper. The town boasted wineries and stores, apple and cherry orchards, a movie theater and an art scene, but also snow and

few residents in the win- ter, excepting the apple farmers. After two years, we moved on to Orcas Island in Puget Sound to housesit my mother’s home. After six months we decided that caretak- ing homes was a great way to live, so we stored all of our stuff and took a hous- esitting job in a beautiful home in Bellevue, Wash- ington. From there it was a four-bedroom house in Huntington Beach where we stayed a year, and then an estate in El Cajon, an apartment near Santa Barbara, and a B&B in Utah a mile outside of Zion National Park. That’s when we started to won- der if we should have our own place again — with a twist. “What do you think
about traveling around in an RV?” Ralph asked me one day as we were finishing the not-so-per- fect B&B gig. “We could maybe take a test run in the van and see if we can live together without kill-
ing each other.” I agreed, and we took
off for Northern Cali- fornia in April 2015 in our 1995 Vandura Van, a veteran of more than 200,000 miles equipped with a queen-size bed. We stopped at Elks Clubs to camp — cheap booze and cheap camping. We relaxed in Keough’s Hot Springs near Bishop, were snowed in for three days in a campground in Mammoth Lakes, and broke down near Lake Almanor in northeastern California. We did not kill each other. After a two-week stay
in my sister’s driveway in Monterey and a camp- ground outside Carmel, Ralph mentioned to my brother-in-law Louis that we might be looking for a used, inexpensive RV. On the afternoon that
we left Monterey County and were headed home via Highway 1 through Big Sur, my phone rang. It was Lou. He had found us a 1984 Jamee by Skyline
