Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Moved

Thank you for stopping by. Just to let you know, I'm still blogging but have moved to Geogypsytraveler. Hope you'll follow my adventures. Just click here.

Auction for awareness of oral cancer

buttons & stickers

I have friends that are survivors of oral cancer. My dear sweet life mentor Darlene is a survivor. Friend, co-worker and fellow blogger FabGrandma’s husband is also a survivor, 10 years in fact. And to celebrate this she is running an auction to raise awareness of oral cancer with the money donated to The Oral Cancer Foundation. This auction will run for 10 weeks, a week for every item (and there’s some good stuff lined up). I hope you’ll check out the auction and get checked out as well. Early detection could save the life of someone you love.

MWT – Blog friends

01 Bernie & Stacey Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (800x600)

A little over two years ago I began blogging. Since then I’ve met, face to face, seven fellow bloggers. Karen motivated me to blog, Mark found me in Death Valley, Joan shared her South Africa, Anne and Eleanor also live in South Africa. And now Bernie & Stacey, two very magical down to earth souls from Washington. I’d have never met these wonderful people from around the world if not for blogging. I sure hope this is only the beginning and look forward to meeting more of you.

02 Cracked boulder Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (800x600)

We all went for a hike into the nearby Weaver Mountains.
