September 19, 2023 – Traveling With Rich & Julie
The best part of RVing is the people you meet along the way.
One of the things Rich and I love most about traveling around to different campgrounds is meeting new people and making new friends.
Rich is always walking around the campgrounds and talking to everyone. He finds out where they are from, what they do for a living, and where they are going.
I am usually the quiet one, just listening.
But there was one time when I made a friend. We were in the state of Washington at a state park campground. Neighbors pulled into the site right beside us. The dogs didn’t seem to like each other and were barking the entire time these people were trying to set up.
Eventually, when the dogs calmed down, the man came over and introduced himself and it was as if we had always known him. Soon his wife came over and she and I hit it off immediately. We talked for hours.
We spent a couple of days getting to know each other and spending time together. I believe when you feel an instant connection with someone you need to listen to that feeling and embrace the connection.
Rich and I still stay in touch with this couple we met in Washington and hope to get back out there to see them.
Before we left the state, they invited us to their home and fed us steak and crab legs. We had a wonderful visit with them, and they will always be important to us.
I can’t wait to head south in a couple of weeks and see what new friends we will meet this year.
