A good run... March 25, 2022, 08:33:20 pm My 2003 TK has new owners, great people who will maintain it and enjoy it! It was a very tough decision to let the LD go after almost 19 years of "goseedo", but health issues made it clear that it was time. I've learned so much and had wonderful (and a few that were not!) adventures along so many roads and in so many beautiful and varied places. The people I've met and the friendships that I've made are treasured; they have enriched my life beyond words. I've camped and RVed for about 60 years, and feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy the opportunities that this lifestyle has provided, and I will still visit LDO and contribute where I can. Happy trails to all of you, and many thanks; it has indeed been a good run! Joan 31 Likes

Re: A good run... Reply #2 – March 25, 2022, 09:17:59 pm It's a decision we'll all face sooner or later, Joan, and I know it must hurt. Please stay around--we need your level head and sage advice!

Re: A good run... Reply #3 – March 25, 2022, 09:32:45 pm Without a doubt you’ve been a great help to Margee and I for more than a few years. And it’s very good news that you’ll continue to help this neighborhood. Best wishes Joan. 2 Likes

Re: A good run... Reply #5 – March 25, 2022, 11:49:33 pm Oh wow, that came as a surprise. As an owner of a 2003 TK myself I know parting with it would entail some pretty serious thought.Thanks for all the great advice.Steve

Re: A good run... Reply #8 – March 26, 2022, 01:08:30 am Dear Joan,It was a pleasure to have met you at a Morro Bay GTG many years ago. I always enjoyed your viewpoint and contributions to the group/family of LD owners. I wish you well and success in dealing with whatever health issues you are now facing. You are a very strong person, a trait that we all respect and love about you. Please continue to post to the group. Thank you for the many memories and the knowledge that you have freely shared.............Gary & Karen
Re: A good run... Reply #9 – March 26, 2022, 07:54:28 am Joan, I know it must have been tough to give up something that you thoroughly enjoyed! But I trust you've had a great ride leaving you lots of memories. I think it has been nearly twenty years since you hooked up with the Past Tents caravan group. We frequently ponder what lays ahead for us. As others have said, please stick around on this site.Cuidate querida amiga,Art and Barbara 2 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #10 – March 26, 2022, 09:34:55 am "The people I've met and the friendships that I've made are..."JoanIt's been a long road since the day that you and I stood shoulder to shoulder and got 'numbered in' at that fateful Caravan Club meeting in Live Oak. I remember it like yesterday! We were both looking forward to great new adventures and as it happened I believe we met the challenge. Fair well Sister, please don't be shy, I for one look for your posts. Steve S. 3 Likes

Re: A good run... Reply #13 – March 26, 2022, 04:47:35 pm Dang, just when I get mine.Long run indeed, I remember the day my dad gave up his RV keys two years ago (we have differing views on RVs, was never going to use his, too fancy) Was really tough on him being off the road the next year. But then YMMV.Do stick around, your advice has been invaluable over the years. 1 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #14 – March 26, 2022, 05:06:25 pm Best of luck, Joan, on the road ahead! Thanks for all your advice and knowledge over the years and glad to hear you'll still be visiting the forum to educate us "newbies!" 1 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #15 – March 26, 2022, 06:56:17 pm Joan, While we have never met, I have learned countless lessons from you on this forum. Your wealth of knowledge has taught me so much, I thank you and wish you the best in this next chapter of your life. Happy Trails to you!Jules 1 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #16 – March 26, 2022, 07:34:49 pm A good run, indeed, Joan. Many good times with Northern Exposure of Lazy Daze. We had 25 years with Lazy Daze, fun times and few *adventures* along the way. We sold our 2006 RB 18 months ago. We miss it but know it was the right decision at the right time for us. Please stay on the forum as you have so much wisdom to impart.Happy trails,Juli W.Minden, NV 3 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #17 – March 26, 2022, 11:26:52 pm Say it ain't so Joan. I hate to see another member of the Class of 2003 hang up the keys.It seems like only yesterday that we met you, I think in the parking lot of the Camping World in Morgan Hill on our way home from picking up our LD. I bet you have a clearer memory of that than I do, my memories now always coming with a "Was it like that or was it . . ." And then there are all the Past Tents campouts. And my wife El hanging with the Ladeze and coming home to tell me, "Boy that Joan knows more about RVing than you do."You know, they have cabins to rent at Cachuma. Throw a sleeping bag in the car and join us. 1 Likes

Re: A good run... Reply #20 – March 27, 2022, 11:45:49 am Joan, I'm saddened that you have 'graduated' to the Lazy Daze Alumni Association. I'd rather we'd all go on forever, but that is never in the cards. You answered my early question about YMMV and I have passed on GOAL and other wisdoms I learned from you.I do hope to see you and Leah down the road sometime, somewhere.Joel & Terry 2 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #21 – March 27, 2022, 04:20:11 pm Thank you, Joan, for the presentations you gave at both the Lazy Daze Jubilee and at the Ladeze campouts, all the hand-outs, and the numerous questions you answered over my 19 years of RVing with Lazy Dazes. Sharing your knowledge of RVing and the sound advice you gave was so much appreciated. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter of life. Monica 1 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #22 – March 27, 2022, 06:04:32 pm "Sharing your knowledge of RVing and the sound advice you gave was so much appreciated."What else could we have expected of a former School Marm? There, I said it, the little kept secret she's been hiding all these years. 2 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #23 – March 27, 2022, 07:19:33 pm Countless women Lazy Dazers have driven millions of miles with confidence and mastery of all things Lazy Daze because of Joan's warm, generous extraordinary range of wisdom. And that's just from those of us fortunate to have attended Ladeze functions. As for the rest of you here on this forum ... better give Joan lots more good stuff to sink her teeth into because, best of all, she was born with the teacher gene and loves sharing her knowledge - or will tell you where to look for it.And, agreeing with Jon and Loni, Joan is family. 10 Likes
Re: A good run... Reply #24 – March 27, 2022, 10:37:04 pm Oh Joan... I have had a few conversations with you, but your vibrant wisdom was always evident! So much wish for more to come...all the best...Bill Benson 1 Likes
