Rig at Mt. Mitchell State Park (7/15/2014), for mtn driving shakedown.

Saguaro Natn'l Park near Tucson; visited when on Arizona spring training trip in '09.

2011 spring training mural at Ed Smith Stadium, Sarasota, says it all!

Brindbergs Fäbodar in central Sweden. One of my favorite places.

Mt. Hood Oregon. Want to spend more time in this state in the RV.

The two babies, AnnaBelle (f) and Arvie (r)

Age 69, married to wife Jean for 12 years, retired from Volvo Construction Equipment in 2008. Worked in IS/IT for 34 years, mostly as a programmer/analyst on IBM mid-range computers. Wife Jean is age 61 and retired from health care industry (sleep science). We have two Boston Terriers, AnnaBelle (51 mos) and Arvie (32 mos) who will travel with us. I have two sons by a previous marriage, and my first son and his wife have a 12-month old daughter. Jean has one daughter who has a 17-month old son, so we are relatively new grandparents.

My hobbies are jogging, sports statistics (esp. minor league baseball) and watching Baltimore Oriole baseball and Indianapolis Colt football (shame the Colts left B'more in '84!). Jean enjoys gardening (when she is able) and loves antiquing. Enjoy international travel (at least I used to) and have friends in Sweden from my Volvo days.

While our RV travel plans are only in the broad-brush stage, we eventually want to see many places neither of us have seen, plus visit relatives on the west coast.

Skills & Expertise to Share

Hope to become an expert Road Trekker since rig was acquired in June '14.

Favorite Boondocking Locations

Annual trip to the Sarasota, FL area for spring training. May need to boondock some as state parks nearby are hard to book consecutive days.
Want to travel extensively out West (Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, California, etc.) in coming years.

Black Mountain, NC, about 15 miles east of Asheville just off I-40.
