About Us
John is a retired Navy Electronics Technician Chief. He traded the Navy
adventure for a job in manufacturing quality assurance in 1986, and traded
the job for the RV adventure in early 2005. Kathy has held jobs in the medical
office arena as well as raising two sons. We now have 5 grand children and
one great grand child.
We continue to be active in Church wherever stop. Our home Church is the
Church of Hope in Sarasota. We are also active as presenters for the
Assemblies of God Marriage Restored ministry.
We have done much volunteer work since hitting the road including working at
the Escapees CARE center in Livingston, Texas. We also are registered Red
Cross disaster volunteers, and served in a Hurricane Katrina shelter in San
Antonio, Texas.
Our connection to Sarasota started in 1995 when John was transferred from
New Jersey to work for Electro Corporation, later to become a division of
Honeywell. He retired in 2004 and we bought our motorhome and hit the road.
We are life members of the Escapees RV Club, as well as members of Good
Sam Club and Family Motorcoach Association (FMCA). We hold campground
memberships in Thousand Trails, RPI, and Resorts of Distinction (ROD). Our
home park is Hart Ranch in Rapid City, SD.
Lately, we have worked in campgrounds in PA, IL, SD, AZ, and FL.
This is our home on wheels, a 2004 Fleetwood Expedition towing our Hyundai Santa Fe. We have driven over 25,000
miles and traversed the country three times. We left Florida in early 2005 and have only just returned this year.
We've spent much time in the southwest in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The summers of 2005 and 2006 found us
in South Dakota. Our goal is to visit all the National Parks in the continental US. Click here for a map of our travels:
