About Us
I'm Betsy Rich . My husband Jamie and I have been married for 44 years. We are the parents of two adult kids who have wonderful lives of their own and two dogs... Enzo, a 120lb Bernese Mt Dog and Gizmo a 25 lb Corgi mix filled our empty next. They're known as the twins because they have the same paint job!

We are unlikely campers. I'm a former TV news producer based in London & New York and Jamie was an elementary school teacher. After retiring, we moved from New York to Colorado where we had a home-based brownie business. In our free time we traveled the world...from Africa, Europe, Tibet & China, to Iceland and South America. After selling the business in 2022. I suggested that we buy a small camper so we could explore our own country and bring the dogs with us. Jamie's answer was a firm, "No F%$*#@G way!" So I kissed him sweetly and 3 weeks later, we picked up a 22 foot travel trailer. We named her Rhoda, inspired by Willie Nelson's anthem "On the Road Again."
Our first Rhoda
We fell in love with camping thanks to Rhoda. During our first summer, we explored more of Colorado; visited Washington State, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota and Kansas. We found a couple of wonderful campgrounds close to home so we could share Rhoda with friends and neighbors.
​
​After that first summer we realized a little more space would be a lot better, especially for our big dog. So in the spring of 2024, we sold old Rhoda and bought a 26 foot Flagstaff 25SRK. In our first summer with her we extended the time and distance of our adventures. We have big plans for 2025, including a 6 week trip to the Pacific Northwest. I'll be blogging and posting on this site. Subscribe to our blog, or visit this site when the spirit moves you to join our adventures...On The Rhoda
