Our Life: We spend our time exploring the US of A in a 40’ Prevost motorcoach, soon to be replaced by the vintage Flxible coach featured on this site. If we’re in an area for more than three days, we get the “hitch itch” and want to move on. Our favorite place is our next destination. We like visiting odd America, beautiful landscapes and the empty backroads. We are constantly running into friends along the way who make the journey even more fulfilling.
