Pop Up Adventures

My daughter, Becky, has stage 3B-4A Squamous Cell Cervical Cancer. Becky just finished her third week of treatments and still has at least four week to go. Becky has been sick since early spring, she has been to the doctor several times with severe pain and heavy bleeding. At one point they removed three large blood clots and sent her home. Most often they just gave her medication to make her bleed more. Sept. 14, 2017 Becky once again found herself in the emergency room. This time the pain and bleeding was much worse. The doctor decided to do exploratory surgery to find out why she was hemorrhaging. They found a large tumor. They preformed a radical hysterectomy. She was told they were confident it was cancer. About a week later it was confirmed. Becky has since then had several bladder infections. Her bladder has dropped and is causing incontinence. Once she is done with treatments this will have to be taken care. Becky has treatments five days a week, Monday-Friday radiation.

  Our journey began in February of 2017.  We had purchased an old pop up camper about four months prior to that. Our intentions were to fix it up and take a vacation in October of this year. we had planned on a vacation to the Grand Canyon. Little did we know, this would open our eyes and the door to our pop up lifestyle Here are three videos of the work we put in our pop up.

Summer time, outdoors, camping and relaxing. Need I say more. Oh yes, CAMPFIRE!

The Champion 2000 Watt Inverter Generator is the best thing we purchased for our adventure. It is quiet. You can have a normal conversation without yelling to be heard while it is running. It is reliable. We have been running it daily for four months without a problem. It is easy to start. I cant say enough good things about this wonderful piece of equipment. ing  

When we decided we wanted to try to full time in our pop-up camper everyone we knew thought we lost our minds. We on the other hand, thought it would be adventurous. We didn't know of anyone who had ever attempted this, but we were sure it was doable. So we started taking camping trips to get the feel for what we would need to full time. Or better what we could live without. Anyway this ways the very first trip.

Just thinking back of the beginning of our pop-up life. We started our adventure about 4 months ago. Our very first night we spent in the pop-up it rained. The sound of the rain on the roof was so awesome.. I believe at that very moment , I knew this life was going to be perfect for us in this time of our life.
