Making Memories in a GMC Motorhome

While we are here at home I am often reminded of places we have been and things we have seen. Just in the last two years our old coach has carried us to many new places. As I watch tv in the evenings, I see some place in the news or in a show that brings back memories of our travels. Chicago or Detroit, the GMC took us there. Albuquerque, Las Cruces, yep been there. El Paso, Carlsbad, Phoenix, the GMC has taken us to those places too. Chattanooga and Nashville, we weathered a toronado on that trip. Baton Rouge, been there. Hmm, San Francisco, I never thought I would darken those streets. The GMC took us there twice already. The Redwoods of California, made three trips there. Been up to Coos Bay twice. We have eaten the best ice cream and cheese in Tillamook. Climbed the tower in Astoria. When I see the reports of the naked lady riding around Portland on her bikeI must laugh. Hope we don't run into her. The little dwarf family on the Learning Channel, that airs Mondays, always brings memories of Hillsboro, Oregon. Have eaten the very best salmon right on the Columbia Gorge. Las Vegas and Tucson, our grandson thinks we visit John Wayne when we are in those places. Hey, we have visited the beautiful Snake River, been through North and South Dakota, Iowa, and stayed a week in Omaha with great friends. Teri and I have been in every state west of the Mississippi River and many on the east side. I know that if it was not for that old GMC coach I would never have seen half of these places. We have so many memories that we can share with our grandchildren. The people we have met and the places we have visited are just unbelievable. I have not listed near the number here, but you get the picture. Rving is the best way to see the USA without getting in any hurry. Whether it takes us two days or two weeks to travel from Mo. to Az. it does not matter. We are at home every night no matter where we park the GMC. It has been one dependable coach and we hope to live and travel in it for many more years. Who would have ever thought that when General Motors developed and built these machines that they would still be alive and well today. A timeless coach.
Thanks for the visit. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Dan
