Oh Boy! One year on the road

It was April 16, 2004 that we turned the key and left our Fort Lauderdale home of over 20 years. I feel like we're just now really getting settled in. We can 'stow and go' in 15 minutes now and be confident that everything is secure. I am more comfortable in my 255 sq ft motorhome than I ever was in a 1700 sq ft house. All that space to clean! And a yard too. Now we get a different yard every few days. Right now our yard is Zion National Park. I still marvel at the fact that we are 'at home' in such grand places. And we both love to look at the map and plan our next moves. We hope to be living this way for many years to come. Here is our one year route:
