The following is a compilation of my weekly column which appears in the River News Herald |
| My name is Carol Ray and I, along with my husband Bill, retired in 1996. We had always wanted to see America first and became full-time RVers. Along with our 3 children, Michael, Barbara and Lori, we were tent campers most of our lives. When we decided to become full-timer RVers, we had never owned an RV and knew little or nothing about Rving. |
| We set out on our first trip, during which we covered over 15,000 miles all over the USA and spent 7 months on the road. It was a wonderful experience and we learned a lot. I read a lot of books about RVing prior to leaving but most of them were way over our heads. I kept complaining to my husband that someone should write a book for beginners and he kept telling me to do it. Thus began my writing career. I wrote a best selling book entitled “Your Home On Wheels”, a Beginner’s Guide to Becoming a Part-Time or Full-Time RVer. Since then, having discovered my love of writing, I write a monthly column in the Las Vegas Sports and Recreation Guide and have had articles published in various newspapers and magazines. |
| Bill and I came to the Delta to visit our son almost 3 years ago. We fell in love with the area and, other than a few short trips and one extensive trip to Alaska, have been here ever since. We even bought a pontoon boat, then traded it for an old Tolleycraft cabin cruiser, refurbished it and love spending time in the water. |
| His column will be mostly about the California Delta both in and out of the water. With permission of the Editor, I will tell stories, take you to places of interest, eat in and write about local restaurants, and will hopefully give you a column you will enjoy reading. Nothing political or too serious ever drips off of the end of my pen or creeps along the keyboard of my computer. And so, I shall begin with a true story. |

Till next week, Journey
Safely and mind the signs along the road.
