In November, we sold the Arctic Fox 1150 Camper (we will miss it) and bought an Arctic Fox 25R travel trailer.. A little, more room, lots of storage, bigger frig, 25" flat screen tv, DirecTV automatic sat system, and a comfy bed. Now we need to address the truck, maybe a newer one with single rear wheels and a flat bed... Still want to be able to haul the RZR and Portabote with us to play.
We spent three week living in it at Jim/Marci's place in Beaverton. We worked out some storage details and were comfortable. Next trip will be in early Feb, probably to the Oregon Coast, to celebrate our 40 years together.
Since Betsy Retired, 75% our nights have been in the RV. And we still get along. Good stuff.

December 2009
This is a copy of our 09 Christmas letter. Some folks don't like them, some do, so we created it in both hard copy and here in the digital world.
Season’s greetings from the Nelson’s in Cove
There is a lot going on is this world we live in. We are thankful that our family is are safe and sound. Many of our country’s military are in harms way and we wish them well.
Back on the home front, 2009 was a fantastic year for us.. Betsy retired in March and we headed North in June for our long awaited Yukon / Alaska Adventure.. We saw lots of critters and had great views, met some really nice people, drove a bunch of miles, and overall had a great time. We got home in late September, stayed for two weeks and headed out again. This fall we traded in our camper for a travel trailer. Much more room and we have made good use of it.. Since Betsy retired we have spent 75% of our nights in an RV.
Are we ready to sell the home in Cove?? Not for a while. While we like to travel, we also like to have a more permanent place to land. Not sure when the next trip will be. 2010 will probably find us taking a bunch of one and two week adventures. We want to spend some time exploring Oregon State Parks, and then more of the Pacific NW.
Our UTV (Polaris RZR) will probably find us back in places like Wallace Idaho and Northern Montana. There are a lot of OHV parks in the west and we will try to explore a bunch of them.
Jim and Marci are doing fine in Beaverton. Cassie is 11 and now taller than Gma Betsy. She spent a month in Maui this summer with her other grandparents. Such a rough life she has.
We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a hope that 2010 will find you all healthy and happy.
