Stop worrying about the potholes
in the road and enjoy the journey!

Please join us on our journey!
We are Gary and Chris Rivett. We have had a goal to travel full time when we retire almost the entire time we have been married. We are best friends and like to travel experiencing all that the United States and Canada has to offer. Along with our furkids Zeke and Annie (German Shepherd and Yorkie, yes we like opposite ends of the spectrum!), we have traveled to Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan and numerous locations in Ohio, and we still have few more years until retirement!
​
Follow us along as we experience the life of traveling in our fifth wheel RV. We plan on sharing what we learn along the way, share the places we stay, the locations we find and the people we meet!

Thanks for joining us! I've always wanted to see the USA and can not wait to expand our travels once we retire ! My hobbies include open fire cooking, Revolutionary reenactment, hiking and any type of history! I am very mechanical and innovative, so my contribution will be in the "Tips and Tricks" area of our website. Please visit us often to see my ideas on improving your travels in an RV, some open campfire recipes and share in some of my reenactments!
Zeke
Hi - I'm Zeke and I LOVE to go camping! I am even happy camping while in the driveway! Mom and Dad have been taking me on the road with them since I was 3 months old. I love to go hiking and play ball wherever we go - but my main job is to keep Mom and Dad safe! I love my work! Hope you will come along with us on our travels!
Our Rig!
We did it! We ordered a Newmar Baystar 3226! We are super excited to pick our next and final RV in late March or early April of 2022. We ordered it July 14, 2021 from National Indoor RV Center in Nashville. Newmar will be starting to build our new home soon and has promised photos - I'll be sure to post them.

Most people think I'm being dragged along on this adventure - but in realty, I'd have started our adventure years earlier if it had been possible! I am more the "organizer" of our trips, I am big picture, while my husband is the detail person. So I will be sharing where we went, where we stayed and how we manage while living in our fifth wheel, including the challenge of traveling with two dogs!
Karma
My name is Karma and I'm the newest traveler in the group at just 2 (that is in human years, bit older than that in furkid years!). I've been traveling with my family since I was four months old. Our first trip was to one of Dad's re-enactments. I had so much fun. We had slept in the fifth wheel in the drive way, (I think they call that driveway surfing? ), but this was a true adventure! I can't wait to start traveling again when we get our new RV in the spring.
