Good Bye to our Rig
Linda & I have decided to leave our RVing years behind us. We have sold our rig. It was like family. Both were purchased new. The Everest (38’ - three slides) in 2003. The truck, a 2004 Dodge dually fully loaded long bed with auto trans and 4.10 gearing. We traveled to all of the lower 48 states and 5 CDN provinces with that rig. The truck never failed. The trailer had numerous upgrades. However, except for tire failures the original running gear including brakes and axles were still with it when sold. Even the original cast aluminum wheels.

We are 77 & 80 years old and celebrated our 61st wedding anniversary on October 4th. We are both still active but the medical issues are piling-up making traveling far from home very difficult.
Last year on our 60th we took a sea cruise. This year we visited the Mississippi gulf coast. This weekend we are going to travel up the Blue Ridge parkway to Cherokee, NC and hopefully see the great color changes in the forests. Our new ride is a Honda Ridgeline. Can you believe it, a front wheel drive truck. It's built on a Pilot chassis and rides and handles just like the Pilot.
The following picture was taken at Helena, GA. The parking there is good and the shops and restaurants are very reasonable.

Congratulations on the 61st!! Susan and I wish you and Linda the very best in this new chapter of life. You have shared an immeasurable amount of knowledge and information to the forum members and I know everyone appreciates it and have gained from it. I would say you would be missed, but hopefully, if time allows, you can still join in from time to time.

Did I ever tell you why I used FastEagle?
During my years in the Navy I served with Fighter Squadron 41 two times. The last time with them I worked on the flight deck as the squadron's flight deck maintenance coordinator. As such, I and all other squadron coordinators had two way encrypted radios strapped to sides. My call sign was FastEagle.

Good luck in your next adventures. Your postings were a good resource for me as a new RV owner "wet behind the ears". I'd suggest hanging out here every once in while to help keep the knowledge base fresh. Congrats on your 61st wedding anniversary.

Congratulations on 61 years of marriage! Linda looks none the worse for wear, you on the other hand? (just kidding). Looks like a lot of years still to go.
I joined this forum 6 years ago and have learned an immense amount of knowledge from your factual and interesting posts.
As Roy and Dale used to say "Happy Trails to you".

You will be missed on here. Hopefully you enjoy the next chapter. We will be in the blue ridge parkway/Cherokee area next month. Hoping the color is still good then. Good luck and God bless.
