Mother Nature had a mean joke for us as we were getting ready to depart for another long cross-country camping trip: April began with about a foot of newly-fallen wet and heavy snow to shovel. Two years ago we traveled for just under four months and didn’t leave until mid-June, but this year we’ll be on the road for a bit over five months, with departure only four days off. We plan to be in the Canadian Rockies in late July-early August, but we need about an extra month and a half before that, when we’ll be vacating “Vagabond” to visit family, spend three weeks touring Peru, and cruise off the Washington coast for a week with friends in their boat.
This is our first new blog post since October 2015. Last year, so we could enjoy summer at our lakeside home in N.H., we only went on short camping excursions. The longest of those was four weeks to North Carolina and back. Our other four trips last year were just three to six days long and closer to home (White Mountains, Maine coast, western Maine, and Pennsylvania & New York).
Wow! Big snow on 1 April!! That’s one of the reasons we settled in SoCal. Looking forward to your arrival by train about 29 April. Give us a heads-up call about a day ahead.
Stay safe, brother. Love from Coronado
Enjoy…and thanks for sharing with all of us at “home”.
