Welcome… to Our Home Page

Hello We are Jim & Alice LaPeer Michigan Residents, in our 10th year of traveling Western America in our 36′ National RV ‘Dolphin’ Motorhome.  This past year, 2021…  has been quite different for us than previous years – the arrival of the Coronavirus-19 changed things dramatically for us, like it did for many across the nation.   But now in 2022, we are fully vaccinated & boosted… and are resuming our travel activities just as before.

 

 

 

Update:

It is now early June, 2022…   and Alice & I have left our Winter home in Coyote Wash, AZ, just recently arriving here at Hart Ranch RV Resort, our Summer destination in the Black Hills.   We plan on staying here for the Summer, workamping, visiting with old friends, and revisiting some of our most favorite beautiful locations in the Black Hills.   Then… on to Michigan?   🙂   Life is good!

Lastly, I would note, that in our travels we take considerable advantage of the free overnight camping locations as found in the Escapee Club’s, marvelous Days End Directory. We have camped in wonderful locations found there… that money could not buy – it’s that good.

Our Winter Home RV Lot is located just behind the 12th Hole Tee Box on the Coyote Wash Golf Course.   The above lake is located just in front of us, between the 15th and 7th Fairways.   For a desert location we have a lot of water… and green 😎   Click on picture to enlarge view.

  1. I read your very interesting ku Klux Klan raid story. I’ve been digging into my ancestry and William Sanford Morgan is my great great grandfather. I descend from Noble Leon. I’d love to hear more!!

  2. Hi, Rich and Sue early 60’s from Grand Rapids (Wyoming actually) We’d like to get your experiences and help guide us into full timing. Our time frame is in 4 years. We are going to keep the mortgage free house and let our son stay in it paying taxes, utilities, etc while we’re gone. Montana would be our first destination and slowly follow the warm weather. Plan is to buy a used 2007 Navigator 45PBQ anywhere the price is best. We’d like to avoid paying MI sale tax on it, any thoughts on this other experiences you have would be appreciated as we begin our planning. We have have three MH’s last one a DP and very familiar traveling MI to SD, CO, to FL often when the kids were young

  3. Hi Jim and Alice
    Our trip two years ago to South Dakota was equally enjoyable, some pretty
    country. Enjoyed the slide show.
    Thank You
    Gary

    • Hi Gary. Just wanted to drop a quick line in reply and say ‘thanks’ for the nice comment. I must admit, Alice and I have become ‘smitten’ with South Dakota. it is just a beautiful State. Hope all is well for you back in Grand Rapids. It would be nice to get together and have lunch again some time.

      Take Care,
      Jim

  4. We just wanted to let you folks know how much we enjoyed visiting with you this week at HR. We’re just sorry we didn’t hook up with you earlier!!
    Hope you have a great summer, and we look forward to our paths crossing again.

  5. Hi, guys! We are wrapping up our Canadian Rockies stay, and will re-enter the states in Montana tomorrow. We’ve had a marvelous time!!! The scenery here is absolutely spectacular. We will try to connect by phone or Skype, or something when we get back to Arizona around the first of November. Hope you have enjoyed your stay in Rapid City. Have you left for Wichita yet? The hot air balloon festival is next on our agenda, October 8-13. Blessings to you both, and hope to talk soon!
    Ron & Cindy

    • Hi again, Cindy. I envy you the Canadian Rockies. One of these days…

      Yep, give us a call… or we can dust off the skype camera/mic. Hope you enjoy the Balloon HOP. We are still on track to leave Hart Ranch on September 30, getting to the Wichita area a week later. We are looking forward to visiting with our son there. After that, To a Thousand Trails camp in NE Texas for a month or so… then back to Michigan by car for the Holidays. Lets stay in touch for the coming Winter months. Lots of fun things we can do…
      Jim
