Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

Canadian Kansas


We leave the glory of the Rockies heading west across the Canadian Prairies. I think we’re back in Kansas, Toto. It’s interesting for a very short time. We are in the middle of nowhere and stop at a RV park that advertises it has a coffee bar, hot tubs, a pool and a tiki bar. It is actually very nice…situated in a grove of trees. The tiki bar is adorable, though they don’t use it for anything…the hot tubs are inoperable…there is no pool…and the coffee bar is a pot of coffee in the office lobby. Seems the owners built this with great intentions, but perhaps didn’t have the traffic to make all the amenities feasible.


Anyway, we enjoyed the evening. Pulled out another purchase from Bass Pro…an injection needle for Cajun roasted garlic marinade. Have never tried this technique…shot thick boneless pork chops to cook on the grill…roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus and a watermelon/feta cheese salad rounded the meal out quite nicely. After a brief rain, it cleared and we took a walk and rather enjoyed all the surrounding hay fields.
