Herbert's Story

Life After graduation I joined the USAF. Had two sons. Then seven years nine months and twenty eight days later my discharge from the Air Force came in April 1969 . I was then employed by the Modesto Post Office. I was there until I retired in 1998. When the big day came, I retired, moved to West Virginia, what a feeling retirement is... Currently living in Iowa. Now have six grand-kids... ALL of 'em GREAT... It is now February 2005, I just returned from touring the valley of California and putting 8000 miles on the fifth wheel. We went the southern route through Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizonia and of course... Las Vegas Nevada before going on to California. We spent 30+ days in Angels Camp. (Modesto sure needs an RV camp) Now we're back in Rockwell City Iowa. Looking forward to our next road trip, see ya on the interstate... Nancy and I want to RV Montana... and see Yellowstone N P. While there do some fishing. Sure hope the fuel prices ease up some. Spring of 2006 is just around the corner. Our new fifth wheel will be here the end of March. Then it's time to hit the interstate again. Plans are to see Illinois and Missouri this summer. Then head for Las Vegas and the San Jauquin Valley for the winter. Hope to see some of you along the way. Happy traveling to all... ================================================ Tis now fall of 2006 and we are on the road again. This time we will be away from Iowa until late March or early April. Currently we are in Tahlequah Oklahoma. Tomorrow we will head for Holdenville Oklahoma. Plan to see the Grand Canyon while out this time. If you see us on the Interstat...Expand for more
e, honk or wave... ================================================== 2007: It has been a lot of fun on this trip. We left in October to return in late March. We seen and visited with several friends and family starting in Missouri then Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California, back to Nevada, up to Idaho and Montana then back down to Utah to get on Interstate 80 for the trip home. We visit the Meteor Crater near Winslow Arizona, the Grand Canyon NP in Arizona, seen the Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, visited Yosemite NP in California then in Idaho we drove up to the west entrance to Yellowstone NP just over in Montana and found it was still closed for the season. Nancy and I have taken SEVERAL photos while traveling and have shared some of them with you along the way. Nancy plans to put together a "Trip Book of Photos" of the trip. It should be interesting. The Verison Aircard kept us on the internet great after a call in for tech support. Nancy used the WiFi hot spots for her desktop when it was available. Most RV camps now have free WiFi. The truck done GREAT, we are avaraging 13+ mpg on the trip. We will be close to 11000 miles when we get home tomorrow. Fuel ranged from $2.30 when we left to close to $3.00 per gallon. I just filled up at the Flying J for $2.699 in Omaha, that will be the last fill up on this trip. The Denali was our home for the entire trip. Nancy did spend a few nights with her sister in Angels Camp but I stayed in the Denali the entire time. It worked out great for us. Now I'll have to wait to travel until Memorial weekend when we will go to Missouri for two weeks and do some fishing.
