My friend Kimberly Crossland, co host of our partner podcast The RV Entrepreneur Podcast,  participated in the Ragnar Relay and said "Our Ragnar road race left us with a lifetime of memories! From the lack of sleep, sleeping in strange places, and running in the middle of the night, to the cheerleading we heard at every exchange point and the belly laughs we had about random events along the race, we will never forget our time in this unique race. Highly recommend anyone doing this at least once! I will be running another one!"

When moments of uncertainty overshadow the usual joy of our adventures, it's the strength of community and the comfort of family that guide us through. This heartfelt episode finds me, Patti Hunt, sharing an update on my husband Dan's health and the impact it's having on our lives and the RV LIFE Podcast. While the details of his condition are private, the support from our listeners and friends has been nothing short of a lifeline, and it's with a sad yet hopeful heart that I talk about what this means for our future episodes.

Our journey has unexpectedly brought us back to the embrace of Pennsylvania, a place where memories flood back and family ties grow stronger. Here, I reflect on the essence of the RV lifestyle that we so cherish—the open roads, the shared stories, the laughter, and the camaraderie. Even as the podcast may evolve in Dan's absence, the commitment to bringing you stories that educate, inspire, and entertain remains unwavering. Join me in this episode for a sincere and emotional update as we hold onto the spirit of RV LIFE and navigate the road ahead.
