Getting ready to hit the road again

In four days we will hit the road again. We are taking Honey to the southern California desert. this time we will go to one place and stay put for the month. Then come home. It will be very different from the great trek. Neither of us know if we will like it. This would not be the year to do another trek like the last one. It snowed in Tucson Arizona this week!

We will be staying at an RV resort that does not have cell phone service, but it does have free wifi. We may have to drive a few miles to call and say hi to family. We are taking the scooters and the bicycles and plan to do a lot of sightseeing around the area. But mostly we are looking forward to warm and dry. (Bob has had a congested chest for several weeks now and that is no fun.

We are planning on driving straight down on I-5 and turning left just at LA. The only issue will be the weather going over the pass (Siskyou summit south of Ashland). We thought about trying a different route (eastern Oregon and eastern California), but once we realized that this would be the rainiest and snowiest March in a long time, we opted for the interstate. It will be quicker and safer. (Just heard about two more families that were stranded for days in the snow. Don't want that to be us.)

Gas is going to be very expensive but I guess we will pay what we have to pay.

We are now busy packing up the trailer and trying to get everything ready. It is amazing to me how much I keep saying - oh don't forget that. We were so organized on the trek and it seemed so easy. Now we have to recreate it and I have already forgotten what we did before. It will work out and we can buy whatever we forget -except for our meds and I already have those in the trailer.


Yeah!!!!
