HATBORO, Pa. -- In this week's Art of Aging report, Lisa-Thomas-Laury introduces us to a group who's been hitting the road for 40 years.

It's The Glad Hatters RV Club of Hatboro, Pennsylvania. Sometimes the group's members take a short little jaunt, other times, they need a much bigger map.

Elaine Weber of the Glad Hatters RV says "I think my favorite place is Yellowstone National Park."

Bill and Elaine Weber have RVed with the Glad Hatters all over America, even as far as Alaska.

"The scenery was out of this world. We had grizzlies walking down the road with us and caribou," said Bill.

In 14 years, they've put over 109 thousand miles on their motor coach.

Elaine says, "Being out in the open air, having the freedom to come and go as you want."

The Glad Hatters camp locally during the summer, then come winter, they go wherever their wheels will take them.

"The Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore and we had another good trip up to Nova Scotia," said, Robert Mood from the Mad Hatters RV.

Alice Kurceba of the Glad Hatters RV said, "We have dinner together. We have happy hour together. We go hiking, biking, fishing, boating. It's the best time of my life"he best time of my life."
