Our “Land Yacht”

This blog is about our 2015 RV road-trip in our 2002 Pleasure-Way Lexor TD.

From our home in East Tennessee, we will travel a wandering course generally Westward for about 4 months and roughly 10,000 to 15,000 miles.

We have friends and family to visit along the way in Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Utah, Washington and California; our oldest Grandson’s wedding to attend in Colorado; and lots of adventures to experience along the way.

The plan is to leave home the last week in April 2015 heading for our Colorado wedding in mid May.  Then North zig-zagging through Yellowstone and Glacier to Washington if the Winter has moved out of our way and along US1 from Seattle to San Diego and then zig-zagging again in a generally Eastern direction toward home.  If Winter is still heavy on the Rockies, we will head South from Colorado and reverse the loop returning to the Northern Rockies in mid summer.

Mary & Richard

Festivals, National Forests and parks, local flavor and small town attractions will be our goals.  While I have crossed the country by car a dozen or more times, usually getting from point A to B as fast as possible, Mary has yet to cross the country by motor vehicle.  Together we intend to slow down and enjoy the journey as neither of us has done before.

We have been planning this trip for several years and purchased our Pleasure-Way specifically for the wandering lifestyle we intend to embrace on the journey.  Casual and easy going!

This 2002 RV has only 75,000 miles and was in pretty good shape when we discovered it at a local dealer just a few hours after it was traded in on a larger unit.  It had a few issues but was in overall excellent condition inside and after a major service, new tires and brakes, it seems to be fine mechanically as well.

Please follow along on our journey this Spring and Summer; we’ll talk about the technical stuff and the scenic stuff, the people and places along the way. We setup this site and blog for precisely that purpose actually. We even hired the pros! They’re called https://the-indexer.com/. They helped us set this up and it actually ended up much more professional than we even needed really. We’re very happy with the results.
