Why join Fulltime Families?

In our 10 years on the road, we're often asked about being lonely. It makes us laugh, because we've had to be very intentional to find alone time for our family, thanks to our nomadic community! Because of  Fulltime Families , we can always find other families nearby. We are lifetime members and this club brought us lifetime friends .  When you start RVing as a family, you don't know what to expect.

Diana's Throne Canyon, canyoneering

Allen and I did Diana's Throne Canyon, outside of Kanab, Utah, and had a blast. It was a beautiful slot canyon with a series of 8 different rappels, ranging from 15-60 feet. There wasn't any water in the canyon this time (and I'm so glad)! We had to take off our packs sometimes to squeeze through places, or to jump, climb, or slide down. We can't wait to find our next canyoneering route, probably in Zion! The canyon is down in the shadow and it was quite the hike back up, in sand.
