One of my favorite cowboy poets is that great American;
Baxter Black. On our trip to Alaska in 2008, I remember how we felt crossing
the US/Canada bourder coming back home after 73 days on the road. Please

Our Rig

In Jan 2009 we traded in our 33' Rockford travel trailer, faithful as she was, making a 10,887 mile journey from Fort Worth, Texas to Fairbanks, Alaska and back without even a whimper the whole way.  We found a like new (1480 miles), 30 foot Damon Daybreak motor home with 2 slide outs and the 10 cyl Ford Triton engine. The model year is 2007. We are very anxious to get out on the road and find out just how she does. Except for a short, overnight trip just down the road from Fort Worth to have supper with a high school classmate from some 50 years ago, the trip to Kemah will be the first real trip we will have made in our new motor home.  Linda was hoping that we could get one that was just as long or longer than the travel trailer we had (33') but I was really happy with the price and condition of the Damon. Plus it had a sattelite dish already installed.  We took Key and Juliet (Black Lab and a Whippett) out for a ride in it and the first thing Key did was to stake out his place on the dash. (I think he saw some dogs doing that on our trip to Alaska and thought that would be pretty neat) I told him he would have to find another spot. So he took my seat.
