Article about retirees traveling around in RVs and volunteering at state parks, disaster areas, etc.

Sounds pretty fun to me!  :)

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. We were in the Great Sand Dunes National Park last year and the transmission blew in our truck. The camp host was a retired guy from Arkansas and was quite a colorful and helpful character. He was retired and traveled all around the country in his RV with his dog.

I agree that it sounds like fun.

Totally. You don't even need a full-size RV, those things are expensive. When my wife and I were living in a van for the summer we met an older Quebecouis couple traveling around the country in a specially modified minivan with a bed and drawers. There was even a toilet in the back!
