Gertrude Goes More Modern

The last post was a repeat, this one is ALL NEW! It has been about 5 years since the original "first" post and we've made a few changes.

Let me start with a rundown of the crew...

Kyle: he is the one that usually drives Gertrude and is an all-around handy-man around the place. He's worked on electrical problems, building, engine issues, plumbing, and more. He got a job in the tech world in Spring 2018 that is a full-time remote position.

Dorsey: (your narrator) I tend to handle navigation, prettying things up, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and general research. I do not have a traditional job right now, so I guess I'm "kind of" retired, though we like to say I act as Kyle's personal assistant.

Gertrude: the RV, motorhome

And that's it. Unfortunately, Daisy Mae, our sweet chihuahua passed away during the summer of 2015. We decided that perhaps this was a sign that we were meant to do the full-time RV life without a pet. Our daughter is living and working in North Texas. She has a precious cat (mix breed) named Batman that we lovingly refer to as the "grandkitten." Our son is out of the Navy and living/working in Central Texas while going to school.

Since Kyle got the full-time remote job we decided to hit the road and explore this beautiful country! Most of my posts will consist of campground reviews of the places we've stayed, but I'm going to try to include some of the fun things we've done along the way.

In the years since we sold the house and today, we worked on many different projects on Gertrude to make her more suited to our tastes and needs. Here is a brief slideshow of our before and after...keep in mind these improvements we made over the course of a few years. We changed the color scheme from pale green/beige to maroon/cream/gold in the main cabin and bedroom. The bathroom is done in white/gold/maroon. The kitchen is done in different shades of brown/cream/maroon.
