“We
have always owned an RV and did lots of traveling
across the United States 3 or 4 times – visited
George and Joyce Tucker (bombardier) and they visited
us in California and also spent time with us at Island
Park, Idaho.
We
drove to Fairbanks, Alaska in 1969 – shipped
our RV and Jeep Wagoner back to Seattle and came back
as foot passengers on the Island Passage boats. We
also spent a month with the Tuckers in Orlando, FL
with the George and Joyce back in the 70’s.
We
spent 6 months in Chandler, AZ, from November to May
and then back to our home in Auburn, CA and if possible
head to Montana – Ed has a lot of family there
and I have family in Idaho and Utah. Ed did a lot
of fishing in the Island Park area, which is 20 miles
south of West Yellowstone, as the kids were growing
up then found Georgetown Lake between Anaconda and
Missoula and has fished there every summer almost
25 years.
