About Us

Join Our Mailing List

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.
