Description

A couple of grizzled old geezers leave for a months-long RV trip in February 2020.But they are about to hit a bump in the road.Gerri Almand and her husband Michael have been living part-time in their RV for years. She has gone from a reluctant RV wife to a deep appreciator of the open road, so when it comes time for their next trip, she knows she’s ready.Enter Covid-19.When the pandemic breaks out, their return home becomes impossible. They must run for their lives to elude the dreaded coronavirus, and they do what any logical senior couple would do…They sell their home and embrace a full-time RV life.They spend six weeks in a nudist RV park, chase after Dennis Hopper’s ghost in Taos, deny themselves a Koi fishing expedition in Cripple Creek, learn the art of the ‘wike’ in Leadville, survive a snowstorm outside Colorado Springs, stroll across the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, and nestle in the desert in southern California as the pandemic rages.Running from COVID in Our RV Cocoon is the humorous true story of one couple’s paradoxical journey of both losing and finding freedom during Covid-19. It is packed with helpful tips to becoming full-time nomads and offers the complicated truths of what it’s like to live in an RV during a terrifying pandemic. Read more

    • An interesting chronicle of the first year of covid
It was interesting to see how Gerri and her husband coped with covid in an RV and without a fixed address. This book didn't seem to have as many interesting anecdotes as the first two books, but that's probably because Gerri was not able to do much traveling when trying to isolate from covid. Her writing is always wonderful, and she can even make RV park bathrooms into a story. I found myself at times judging Gerri and her husband for the choices they made during covid (going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans when the whole country knew that Mardi Gras was going to spread a huge amount of infection's, continuing to eat in restaurants until the restaurants physically shut down, traveling across multiple states when the rest of us were being told to quarantine in our own homes and avoid going out at all). This is just my opinion and does not affect my rating of her book, but maybe other people who tried to be extremely conscientious in the pre vaccine era of coronavirus will find themselves similarly annoyed by her choices. ... show more

    • Her Story Ended Yet COVID Continues
A good account of one couples COVID experience. My wife and I evacuated FL in March 2020, hurriedly leaving our sailboat and driving hard towing our Airstream. We isolated, overnighted in Rest Areas and made it home to Durango CO in record time. Although we returned to FL to market and sell the yacht, I was more than happy to finally depart that foolish State. Now it’s September 2021 and the pandemic is raging once again, for the reasons cited by Gerri - lying politicians and people unwilling to sacrifice for the common good. God help us. ... show more

    • Transformation
Another fine book by Gerri Almand. I cannot wait to read more. Her creativity, talents, struggles, thoughts, dreams, etc make me chuckle and appreciate life's challenges and opportunities even more.

    • Was not entertaining
I really enjoyed Gerri's first two books, which included many great RV stories and were well written. I did not enjoy this book as Gerri spent the entire book running from COVID and complaining about anyone who did not social distance or wear a mask. I wish she would have focused more on the RV stories and lessons learned, but this obviously was a trying time for Gerri and her husband. Hopefully, we will have more fun RV stories in the future! ... show more

    • Running but worried
Hopefully they got their vaccinations. They managed to hunker down while living in the RV during covid , hiking, and meeting people, setting up precautions. These precautions were exactly what lots of people were doing , not everyone but most. Analyzing there decisions and the isolation described is understandable. To make the best of this difficult time This new delta variant will add more stress, no one knows what will happen with that one. , ... show more
