How long is the RV off season, anyway?

It has been about five weeks since I have seen Sadie. She is, I hope, comfortably nestled in her covered storage area. Jill and I are getting itchy to do some RVing. We received an invitation to stay at The Waterfront at Potlatch for half price in January, February or March. Well, here it is February, and we haven't made a reservation. Jill is going to Denver the end of the month, and we are both headed for San Diego in April. Looks like it will be March before we go, although there is a fair amount of February left yet.

There has been an exciting development in our RV life. We learned recently about an RVers' ministry called SOWERs, which is an acronym for Servants On Wheels Ever Ready. This group provides labor for upkeep, remodeling and construction projects for Christian organizations such as churches, orphanages, camps and so on. Their M. O. is to send RVers to a project for 4 weeks at a time. The men are required to provide 72 hours of work during the first three weeks, and the fourth week is free time for exploring the area around the project site. In return, the host organization, for whom the work is being done, provides the team with RV sites, including water, electric and sewer hook ups.

We haven't decided yet, whether we will apply for membership, but we are seriously considering it. Earlier, we had been contemplating an extended trip, similar to the one we did last spring. Now, we are thinking and praying about what that trip might look like, if we were SOWERs. Stay tuned.

  1. We are now in the process of applying to the SOWERs ministry. We also have reservations at The Waterfront at Potlatch for later this month!
