On my own after a long marriage. I am a retired Navy Chief - spent 23 years maintaining aircraft and training sailors how to work on them.

More or less into a semi-retired mode to travel and do some work on the side (I am a certified RV Tech and have a mobile service business). I would like to spend as much time in my RV as possible ... which includes seeing places I have never been or never had the time to enjoy (spending a month in Cody WY this fall).

Got my first RV last fall (the 2306 MiniLite) ... and attended RV Tech school in Elkhart this past winter. Have been working as a mobile tech on my own since March and worked as the lead tech for a RV Dealership this summer.

I enjoy meeting people and sharing tales about where I've been, what I've done, etc ... and hearing the same from others.

Welcome Courteous and Respectful Guest

Dave and his daughter made a brief one night stop and they were a pleasure to host. Unfortunately rain cut our opportunity to visit short but we did enjoy getting to know them and would welcome them back anytime.

ANCHORS AWEIGH, CHIEF!

DHODGE, Becky and I thank you for your long service to our country!! As a former naval aviation, VA squadron person myself many, many years ago (6 years and two extended MED cruises on the USS America, CVA-66), I can appreciate your sacrifices! Becky and I are delighted to be able to provide SPAGHETTI'S ROOST to BOONDOCKERS and particularly to Veterans of our US armed services who protect our freedoms on an ongoing basis. Your conduct during your visit was as expected of a Veteran and a BOONDOCKER resulting in your being welcome at any time that you are in the area. Beck & George

Dhodge and his family were polite and quiet. After a good rest they were off Boondocker style
