ME Gone RVing Adventures

 

The date is May 4, 2022. But first let's take a journey backwards a bit so that we can get all caught up. On Oct 31, 2021 we left Oldtown, Idaho for a life of "QUALITY" and not for "QUANTITY" as new RV full timers who travel in an RV.  Why? Because 1/2 of this marriage is sick. Sick with Cancer. But together we suffered. We suffered for so many reasons. We were running a business that was sucking the left over life we managed to hold on to. NOT being allowed to fight the fight as we needed to, but covering staff work shifts (yeah say that 3 times outloud to truly understand the sickness of that statement). Don't get me wrong, we are NOT lazy but 10-14 hour days were getting old quickly and killing 1/2 us more quickly. SO WE ENDED the struggle and GAVE UP!! 

It was HALLOWEEN that we left. Why that day? We figured it would be easier to remember our Anniversary date. Plus it gave Mark a chance to do his very first video to commence the big grand event.

Our plan for the first leg of the trip is to head to QUARTZSITE, ARIZONA. At first it was to learn from other RV folks who have done this for years. But it ended up being a life lesson in so many areas. But as life would command. Our first major lesson was in PROVO, UTAH when we broke down a couple of feet from our actual camping spot. 

Did we cry? 1/2 of us did, but I'm not going to tattle.


@megonervingadventures The life of an RV Life. We broke down on day #6 just yards from our campsite lol. #rv #rvfulltimers ♬ original sound - MeGoneRVingAdventures
CRAZY TIMES but memorable for sure. We have documented them on so many formats. I'll share the links here so we only add one or two per post. This blog is more for the story telling of our adventures. We have a 1/2 year to catch up on here. It's been beautiful, ugly, fun and hard all rolled up into our life story. So welcome to us.... 

The ME Gone RVing Adventures is improper English - yes we know. But in this case we went for a play on words. ME ='s Mark/Evielynne ahhhhh now that makes sense right? Here we are and we are happy and peaceful for the choices that we have made. 

We are currently in Coalville, Utah for the summer workamping for an RV park called Holiday Hills RV Park. Mark makes $7.25 an hour and it's a 40 hour position. There are ZERO perks except that he'll make an additional .25 per gallon of propane he pumps for the park. It cost us a little over $600 to get here so it's gonna take the first month to put that GAS investment back into our account. We do not get our spot for FREE - $400 taken from our check to cover the cost. We'll talk more about our feelings on that later on as we progress in the summer. Counting and praying that our YouTube will be our summer miracle we are praying for. But that takes 1 - 1.5 years to get really going according to the advanced YouTubers.  

Let's end this post sharing our online stalking you are most welcomed to do and be a part of!

ME Gone RVing Adventures:
YouTube We have to have 1000 subscribers (currently at 38) 
Instagram Woot we are creeping up to 1000 followers (834 right now - this makes us SMILE BIG)
TikTok We don't care - this is our fun outlet place where we get to be corkie and just WEIRD
Pinterest ahhhh we really need to learn how to make this work for us
Twitter I half expected just 50 and would have been happy with that - so SCREAMING excited that we are at 170 followers.

We will blog as a journey day to day and bring up past stories from our first 6 months on the road. One day when one of us are able to be a part of this journey, the other can come back to relive the memories we chose to make for ourselves.
