Hi y'all,

I'm a new member from Kennesaw, GA. I'm semi-retired from my Crane Rental business, and my wife Sally is fully retired from the Steel Erection company that she owns. We have owned many different motorhomes over the years, starting with a Winnebago, two Newmars, a Bluebird, and we're now in our fourth Newell.

For many years we spent about six weeks on the road hunting birds (ducks, pheasant, partridge, grouse, and quail). We always started in Saskatchewan hunting ducks & geese, then dropped down to North Dakota for a week chasing pheasant & grouse. Then to South Dakota for more of the same. We then attended the One Box pheasant hunt in Broken Bow, NE followed by the Grand National Quail hunt in Enid, OK. On our longest sojourn....77 days....we finished up by hunting quail in north Texas. For many years we traveled with three Labrador retrievers, we're down to one now and it makes my life on the road much easier.

We didn't travel much and did not hunt at all, in 2001, , as Sally was waging an intense battle against lymphoma...she was declared cancer free in January of 2002. Then in 2007 it was my turn to derail the "Cloud of Feather's Tour." Urological problems....14 surgical procedures from January 2007 to August 11th of this year put a damper on all of out travels. But thanks to a good surgeon, and help from God, I'm back up and getting in shape for a trip this fall.

Hope to see you on the road.

Welcome to MyRVSpace!

Welcome aboard fuzzyface. It's good to have you on MyRVSpace with your wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it. I too enjoy hunting however I've not had the opporunity to hunt as you have. Most of my hunting has been in the central U.S. from Iowa to Mississippi I haven't hunted since 04 when I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and inoperable. However just as in you and your wife's case, thanks to a good surgeon who gave me a 5% chance and a whole lot of faith in the good Lord above I'm enjoying life again. I'm glad you are back up and planning a trip this fall. There is an old saying in the Marine Corps "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" and it sounds like your tough.
Feel free to check in on the United States Marine Corps thread in the Military & Veteran RVing forum.
