It has been a while since posting anything, sorry about that. The dream of what I originally wanted for this site and the reality of doing it are two different things. We had planned on both of us being in good shape, able to still do things relativley easy for old timers such as ourselves. Now here we are both of us disabled but giving it a valiant effort non the less. Little did we know that The Lovely Miss Lynn would have some serious
medical issues and my pain levels would be out of control. Still we have been trying our best to publish beautiful content, but lets be honest, it is dificult to get motivated when your beautiful wife and life partner is slipping away little by little and your own pain is through the roof. I am glad that we are doing this now because 2 years from now all bets are off. We have seen a bunch of unbeleivable things and in spite of having to lead Miss Lynn around in anything she does, we are making it work and have collected some remarkable photos, video and other info to show you and it will appear in these pages sooner or later. Keep checking on us we are doing the best we can. In the meantime here is a panel of petroglyphs (or is it petrographs?) that we shot the other day on the Black Dragon Wash Trail.

We had a chance not long ago to go back to Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas. CLICK HERE for more information
Our most recent videos or entries will be posted here and moved to the daily blog when they are no longer the most current.
ABOUT ROADDOGS
So here we are. After talking about and planning for years, we are about to live full time the Roaddog way. I have been put on disability because my physical condition has finally eroded to the point that I can no longer work and Miss Lynn is dealing with some issues that is going to retire her early as well. So now what? We have been building this site over the years without promoting it so when we went to it full time in retirement we wanted to have lots of stuff to show you from day 1. Now here it is time to start putting the dream into action and I am living in severe chronic pain. So much pain it has forced me out of the workforce and severely hampered my life. Since it will be with me for the rest of my life it has brought me to a crossroad.
Do I give up and retire to a recliner to spend this last phase of life watching the Wire for the tenth time and streaming videos? Or do I say damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead and do my best to continue this site as Imy condition permits?
I am glad to report we have decided to die with memories rather than die with dreams. We are going to give it a try and hit the road on the ultimate road trip. So today I am announcing "THE GREAT GYPSY ADVENTURE" Thats right we have purchased an RV and we are going to head out in late March for a 2 year adventure. It is finally time to start promoting this site so share, like, and subscribe to our videos on youtube and our pictures on instagram. (You can find us under bigbadroaddog) And since I am disabled we will be taking an extra look at how the disabled are accommodated at the places we visit. I might be crazy trying this with the amount of pain I live with. Not to mention the hard road Miss Lynn is traveling. But I figure I can deal with the pain just as easy sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon as I can sitting in my living room streaming Netflix. And if you think about it, if not now, When?
I am not pretending to be some great writer, (if you explore further you will soon see how accurate that statement is.) I am not here to help you find a cheaper airline flight or hotel room. There are plenty of sites for that. Miss Lynn and I are here to show you the world that we see as we wander through this last phase of life. The creator has provided us a fantastic, bizarre and beautiful world and we want to see and show you as much of it as possible. Now that we have been forced into retirement and have become full time Roaddogs, I will continue to add to the site as I am able.
It is a nice dream. I hope you come along for the journey.

We had a lot of excitement yesterday at the Thousand Trails campground in Acton when a man just 4 spaces away from Miss Lynn and myself went off the deep end and had a standoff with Los Angeles County Sheriffs department. He then set fire to the RV, climbed out the skylight shouting all kinds of nonsense about money laundering and all kinds of nutty things then jumped off the top of the RV and escaped into the hills. Check out my video below.

We spent the last several days at the Banning KOA. We were supposed to stay at the Thousand Trails campground in Idylwild but upon arrival we discovered they didn't have an adequate space for us. It looks like it is a cool park just no pull through spaces. The changes of angle on the roads was also a problem as our trailer hitch dragged in several spots. So we canceled our Idylwild reservation and ended up at the Banning KOA, which turned out to be a good thing. The Banning KOA is a descent RV park and will definetly use it when coming through this way again.
We have done some redesigning of our site to make this gypsy adventure a little easier to navigate. We are starting over with our approach to videos. This redesign of the Gypsy adventure will be a good thing and our videos will start to show up on a regular basis. I hope you all understand that 2 disabled people traveling the highways and byways of America is possible but it takes a lot of work. My pain levels by mid day are through the roof so attending to all I have to is tricky to say the least. As tricky as it is, we are having the time of our lves and I am so glad to have done this now because our situation will de decidely different in 2 years. Our plan has been to take the 2 years we planned for with this Gypsy adventure and then purchase a piece of property and build a house. We might end up doing that a little early depending on Miss Lynns status. In the meantime check out our other features here on roaddogs and we will have new stuff very soon.
