As we drove along the Steens Mountain Loop, it was hard to miss the signs of spring and summer: lots of green foliage. Before you get to that viewpoint, visit the Kiger Gorge area.

We've had our RV (a 2016 Fleetwood Pace Arrow LXE) since September 2016, almost 3 years. When we occasionally worked from home, we noted how uncomfortable it was to sit for 8-10 hours at the dinette. Fast forward to this year, when we started out on the road as full-time RVers. That occasional "pain point" … Continue reading Oregon: Remodeling the RV
