Bill and I are active, retired full-time RVers
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
Bill and I have been happily married since 2003. Between us, we have 5 adult children and 5 grands. In 2013, I retired from 24 years in higher education. Bill retired a few years earlier from a management position. After retirement, we worked part time as caregivers (nanny and hospice) as well as volunteering with the San Gorgonio Wilderness Association. In 2015, we sold our house in California and moved into our 24ft Class C "Mo". Besides traveling and playing, we worked three holiday seasons with Amazon Camperforce in Kentucky and two summers at a small motel in upstate New York. Last year, we worked for JCPenney in Reno, Nevada and fell in love with the area. We are now Nevada residents! We love to travel, explore, and read. I love cities and cultural venues. Bill prefers quiet and remote locations. We are perfect together.
Skills & Expertise to Share
After retirement from our careers, I became an infant and special needs nanny and my Bill was a senior/hospice caregiver. We also did volunteer work (mostly trail maintenance) for the SGWA. Bill is still on staff with a Reno senior home care organization and works there on call when we're in the area.
Jamie.Smith's Pets
We travel with our 12 year old rescue Bengal cat Smeagol. She's a good girl, has had all her shots, and never goes outside.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
We love boondocking in the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt Whitney near Lone Pine, CA.
Jamie.Smith's Hometown
We sold our home in Southern California and have been living and traveling full-time in our RV since September 2015. I am a city girl from Los Angeles County. Bill is a country boy from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. We have children in California, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Great guests
these 2 are a great couple and fantastic guests who have become good friends after their visits and time spent in the Adirondacks. Highly recommended guests and if get the chance to host them pick their brains on their travels and adventures since becoming full timers!

Jamie.Smith are excellent guests. They are friendly and respectful. This was their second stay with us and they are welcome back anytime.

A delightful couple
Even though rain interfered with our hopes to get acquainted over an evening campfire, we were happy that our guests made time before leaving the next morning to share a visit with us in the shelter of our covered back porch. Jamie even shared with us the property information for the homestead they will eventually develop in Nevada, and invited us to visit them there in the future. We hope they come again.

Delightful couple
It was the height of covid scare in Texas. Sadly that prevented us from a more extensive visit.
We would very much like to see them again under better circumstances.

Wonderful, Very Enjoyable Couple!
Wish they could have stayed longer! Great conversations and good Advice for a hopefully Soon To Be RV Owner! Hope they'll look me up if they're in the neighborhood again!

Fun couple. Very enjoyable visit!
Jamie and her husband were a pleasure to host. We enjoyed a nice (but cold sunset) and my NM skies did not disappoint! On their 2nd night I had just finished my Christmas Village display and was able to show off all the effort I put into it. Loved having them and they are welcome back anytime (at least if I'm not out boondocking :-)

Punctual and quiet!
They messaged ahead of time to give us an update on their ETA and arrived about when they indicated. Very friendly/polite and quiet. They slipped off the next morning and were on their way. We would gladly host them again if they were back in the area. Safe travels!

Overnight Stay
Jamie.Smith was just passing through our area and stayed one night then continued their journey the next morning. They were in heavy Thanksgiving weekend traffic all day and found a quiet spot to rest. We would welcome them back.

Great Boondockers
In light of the current situation we were unable to truly meet with the Smith's but hope they come back during normal times for another stay.

Friendly, well-traveled couple
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Smiths. They were gracious enough to sit around our campfire and share book recommendations and travel stories, even though they must have been tired after traveling 400 miles. We hope to host them again when they head back west this fall.

NICE, RESPECTFUL, NO-ISSUE GUESTS!
JAMIE.SMITH, These GUESTS stayed overnight on their way back east When I requested a rough ETA, they responded with several messages amending that time due to traffic and construction conditions providing excellent communications with us. They requested and were granted the ability to top their freshwater tank and connected to 15A power for the night without any on-site assistance. They were absolutely respectful, no-issue GUESTS during these trying times. They are welcome back anytime! Becky and I are looking forward to the day when we will be able to interact with our GUESTS from less distance once again! Becky & George

Super guests 😊
Jamie.Smith were excellent guests. We did not get to interact with them very much due to the pandemic. They were quiet and polite and are welcome back anytime.

Quick overnight stay
We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie.Smith overnight. Very nice couple. Sorry it was just a one night stay and we did not get a chance to sit and chat a little.
We hope that they had a quiet comfortable night. Have safe travels!

Fantastic Full Timers!
We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie.Smith. Enjoyed learning about the full timer lifestyle and all the places traveled. And, we have added a magical little place called Julian to our future travel destinations. Happy and safe journey to you, and hope our paths cross again some day! The Campbells

Polite couple
Jamie called to say they would be late due to travel difficulties. Then she called to let me know the difficulties would not be taken care of and they were stuck for the night where they were. A lot of folks would have just cancelled with no call. I think it's a sign of excellent Behavior by these two. I hope someday they can come back and visit.
