Indeed! I met the Kerfoots many years ago through my wife and her family. Makes me all the more glad I got pointed at this particular article. 🙂
James, Thank you for sharing Rich's blog. I used to read it but stopped for some reason, I should restart, especially since he is starting a new adventure. I met Rich C. through Rich L. of Airstream Life and got to shake his hand in Salem, OR in 2006.
