I'm a retired firefighter who, after my January 2009 divorce, decided to become a fulltime RVer so I could see the USA. Since the beginning of "The Great Adventure" in March 2010, I have seen most of the attractions on my American bucket list, save attractions isolated in massive urban areas such as New York City or San Francisco where convenient RV parks are virtually non-existent.

Beautiful White Mills
Hi Larry, I was born and raised in White Mills and my parents, brothers, grandmother and uncles still live there. My family runs the car show on White Mills Days to raise funds for the community. White Mills is a special place, full of beautiful history and warm hospitality. It's wonderful to read about your experience with our little town and I hope you get the chance to visit during the Christmas parade and bridge lighting or the community Thanksgiving service and dinner! -Sarah
