In 2006, we began livin’ the dream when we sold our home, bought a 5th wheel, and hit the open road. This site chronicles our travels as we wheel our way across the
country working, playing and enjoying the simple life. Sometimes I post frequently, other times not so much. If you're so inclined, head on down to the first post from July 2006 to see how
everything started. If not, just dive right in anywhere and check out the stories and photos that interest you. Thanks for joining our adventure; hope you enjoy it!
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead
them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them
light, that they might travel by day and by night . . . . . . . . .

On the Road with Joe and Jill: September 29, 2006 ~ OUR NEW HOME
September 29, 2006 ~ OUR NEW HOME
It’s Friday the 29th and we’re in Middlebury Indiana at Cargo Plus RV. As of the last post on the 21st, everything is going according to plan and we’re still scheduled to head east in just a few more days on about the 5th of October. We’ve made good use of the extra time we’ve had waiting for the last appointment to complete the final upgrade on the rig. Oh, by the way, don’t miss the “Roxy & The Rig” photo album to see pictures of the new truck and coach. NOW, MORE ABOUT THE KIND FOLKS AT CARGO PLUS... This is a family owned and operated business on Rt. 13 N. Main St. in Middlebury. It’s run by owner Steve Riegsecker and his daughter Tammy Miller. They sell RV’s, park model trailers, toy haulers, cargo trailers, pontoon boats and trailers, etc., have a retail store and several service bays. Visit them online at Cargo Plus RV. Anyone out there reading this via forum, do yourselves a favor and check them out. Seriously…if you don’t live in the area, stop by when you’re traveling through. Or, do what we did…drive here from California!! Not only did we get a great coach at a great price, but they’ve gone out of their way to get us the extra upgrades that were important to us. They took the time to answer all of our questions, they didn’t “push”, like some dealers we visited, and they gave us the knowledge we needed to feel comfortable with this important purchase. Now, here’s the kicker…check this out. They have allowed us to “camp out” at their facility since Monday when we checked out of our hotel to save on room costs. Oh, I know what you’re thinking…RV factories, service centers and dealers often have a spot for over-nighters when their rigs are being serviced. Yes, they do have such a spot out on their property, but this goes way beyond that. We are currently inside their huge garage service center out of the rain and cold nights and will most likely be with them until next Wednesday. We’ve been offered coffee and rolls, we’ve visited with them over lunch, and we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them and becoming friends. Joe has helped out by mowing the lawn and making a pickup from a supplier, but in all reality, we don’t know how we can ever repay their kind hospitality. God truly blessed us when He led us to them. Thank you Steve and Tammy, from the bottom of our hearts. Until the next post…..
