When we first began to research the idea of living in a Motorcoach and traveling the country, we ran across an RV Resort that seemed to be heaven on earth. It was specifically for Class A coaches. It overlooked Flathead Lake and the mountains in the Flathead National Forest. And just by coincidence there was an airport right next door. It was not exactly inexpensive, but we decided to splurge and treat it like a vacation. For years we looked forward to staying there. And finally through everything 2020 threw at us, we made it. It did not disappoint.

The weather was fantastic and we had a great time, until.... well we can save that. There were constant airshows and wildlife displays.

The lake we overlooked was Flathead Lake. As with most of the lakes up north, it is beautiful, clear and a lot of fun to fly over. Here is a video that will give you a tour. There are a couple of mansions on the lake that have interesting histories. https://flatheadliving.com/2017/03/22/montanas-expensive-mansion/ And we fly over Kalispell, the gateway to Glacier National Park.

Welcome to our site.  We are Paul & Karen Depperschmidt.  In 2018 we decided that in retirement we would downsize, purge, get a Motor Coach and see North America.  In itself that is not unique.  So we complicated things a bit by including Paul's passion, aviation.  We will be pulling a custom trailer that includes our Kitfox Series 7 airplane.  Follow us as we travel the country and report on what we find.
