My parents joined the FMCA around 1969, after purchasing their first motorhome, a converted city bus. This first bus had no power, and my dad was constantly working on the thing, but we loved the motorhoming life anyway. They decided that a larger coach was needed, so in 1970 they purchased a 35-foot 1957 Fitzjohn Roadrunner. Soon after, they sold our home in Connecticut and we travled around the country for eight months.

We finally settled in Colorado, but since my parents were both teachers, we had the three months of summer vacations to travel the country. We stopped at as many FMCA rallies that we could and quite a few national conventions.

We had a lot of fun being members of FMCA when I was a kid, and now I have a motorhome and my family is part of FMCA. In this blog, I hope to recount some of the fun we had with FMCA.
