and I have a lot in common and enjoy keeping in touch. I also
enjoy her and her husband's story and website of "a Canadian
couple who bucked the system and didn't wait to retire to become
fulltimers in order to see other parts of this great continent." |

Tony
is a retired fire captain who followed his dream of fulltiming.
He is still the west coast Wildland Fire Safety Consultant
for ABC News. He did a gig as a California state park camp
host and it was always fun to read about those experiences.
When I read his essay, "Will
you Live Your Dream Looking Out the Backyard Window?"
we actually had an argument about who inspired who first!

Chuck
& Kalyn Bryan are my adopted siblings - ever since we met
in Valdez, I've always considered them among the best things
I found in Alaska! We screamed at finding eagles in the parking
lot at Safeway together and since then I'm happy whenever our
paths cross. A fantastic fulltiming fun couple! |

and The Tioga Team |
George
began his vagabond ways in 2003 on the very day he was declared
cancer-free. He boondocks every night and updates his journal
daily with whatever adventures he finds along the way. A very
inspiring character. I particularly appreciate his "creed"
- "I don't run away from my dreams, because of my
fear of what "might" happen. I have faith that,
no matter what fate brings me, I shall overcome."

experience in some good books, especially knowledgeable on Canada
RVing. |
