On July 15, 2002, We set out in our 29 foot New Horizon fifth wheel trailer on a one year "mission to seek out and explore"  Western North America. Friends at home had asked us to "keep in touch" so we started this journal to record our travels. We returned from our trip during September 2003 but like the "energizer bunny" we kept going. In July 2005 we went to Texas and became full time RV'ers domiciled in Livingston. On June 16, 2006 while we were in Alaska new owners closed on our "stick house" in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.

We continued to travel and in May 2008 we bought a new Super Duty 550 built by Ford and finished by Classy Chassis of Valparaiso, Indiana and new Spacecraft brand 31 ft., 13 ft. 6 in high 102 in. wide with with 2 slides Fifth Wheel Trailer built in Concordia, MO and we relocated to Pensacola, Florida (not that we live there any more then we lived in Texas).

Then in September we went on an RV (not with our trailer) trip to Australia and New Zealand. Upon our return we hung out in the California and Arizona desert and went to the Canadian Rockies as well as Calgary and the Alberta Badlands.

Then In February 2010 we went on a 36 day RV trip to South Africa followed by 4 day non RV trip to Victoria Falls in Zambia which included a day trip to a Botswana National Park and another border crossing. Upon our return on April 1st we remained in California, celebrated Passover and headed East in May for a very interesting and eventful trip.

Both the South Africa Trip and the East bound pages are a work in progress and do not have all the locations we visited but I continue to post pages so check back periodically

At the end of November 2005 our daughter-in-law Caryn, Richard's wife died shortly before her 37th year. Fortunately ever since 2002 when we started traveling cross country in our RV two of our three trips out west ended in California and we spent some quality time with Rich and Caryn. Words cannot describe our feelings of loss and sympathy for Richard and Caryn's parents, Myrna and Paul as well as her grandmother and brother. It's not supposed to happen like this. None the less life goes on. Richard along with several of their friends have transformed Caryn's popular website into a wonderful memorial. I urge you to visit http://www.caryn.com and read about her short life December 19, 1968 to November 26, 2005 in her own words and those of others.

In Loving Memory of Caryn Amy Shalita Yaker, December 19,1968 - November 26, 2005
Please visit her memorial site.
In addition Richard and Caryn had started a photography site A Couple of Artists which Richard has continued
as well as a site for the discerning actress, actor or anybody who likes Shakespeare
