At It Again: Sheila, I had to laugh when you said
you are RV-less still, but still happy too! Not us! We sold a Class C old goody
aſt er a month or so, and a wonderful trip on the David T ompson Highway. Too old, we thought, but guess
what? I saw this old Dodge Campervan and once again we succumbed to the wonderful possibilities of travel and adventure! Bob is 82, and I am 85 now, and we
are both thankful for our good health and the ability to “follow our bliss “ from our daughter’ s acreage here in Alberta. T is is our tenth RV, and we are very pleased with it, so far. Sheila, it’s your turn now! Dorothy M. Wilson

Dorothy, I do agree with your statement: Sheila, it’s your turn! Over the years I have been
RVing in tent(s), tent trailer, travel trailer(s), camper, homemade camper van(s), Class C, Class A, and a bus conversion. Have yet to experience a 5th wheel or a professionally-constructed campervan, but who knows what the future will bring eh? I haven’t given up yet. All the above RV experiences did come with the gent of choice (at the time) and I must admit, some of the best times in each relationship did happen during our RVing journeys. Sometimes the only entertainment available was our own conversations, which oſt en did not happen at home when TV and busy times abounded. So I too do have some great memories. Dorothy, I’m a Gemini, and seem to have the ability to be happy most anywhere! Sheila T., RV Times publisher, etc

Incorrect Advise: In edition 154 July/Aug, on page 20 Hilda Born states that when visiting the Tulip Fes-
tival near LA Conner WA one can merely park right beside the road. We have lived here for decades and the onslot of traffi c has caused law enforcement to
ticket casual parkers, I believe due to all the congestion and associated accidents. To doublecheck, call Skagit County Sheriff ’s offi ce at 360-336-9450 to ask. I believe
parking on the side of the road during Tulip Fest brings a heſt y fi ne, so beware. Ed Bishop
