It's getting closer!

I really need to take a new picture of the Airstream. This was taken right after we got it last year! I'll take one with the awnings out so you can see how "hard" it is to camp! LOL

We're still tweaking the route a bit, but here's a general idea:

St. Louis, IL
Omaha, NE
Mitchell, SD
Wall, SD
Hill City, SD
Buffalo, WY
Grand Teton National Park, WY
Yellowstone National Park, WY
Ririe, ID (Heise Hot Springs)
Boise, ID
Pendleton, OR
Fairview, OR
Castle Rock, WA (Mt. Saint Helens) - yeah, I know my record for natural disasters! Sue, still want to camp with us?
Otis, OR
Coos Bay, OR - Audrey are you ready for us?
Redding, CA
Manteca, CA
Yosemite National Park, CA - John and Jean - still up for this?
Big Sur, CA
Santa Barbara, CA
Huntington Beach, CA - family and Linda - here we come!
Barstow, CA
Las Vegas, NV - on our way to somewhere else. Gotta spend the night somewhere!
Page, AZ - I'll close my eyes going across Glen Canyon Dam this time. Going back to Antelope Canyon!
Albuquerque, NM - Liz - can you stand us one more time?
Amarillo, TX
Oklahoma City, OK
Conway, AR
Mountain View, AR - one week to rest before heading home!

HOME - July 5!

If you see something on the route we shouldn't miss, please let me know!

See ya down the road!

I was having a TERRIBLE time trying to route us from California to Mountain View, Arkansas and still have a week to spend in Arkansas. Finally got David to look at my list. For some reason, I'd missed a day here and there and several days in one week! Now I have more time to devote to stopping in California! Still want to visit Death Valley, but David took that one off the trip route. It's already 104 degrees there during the day. Imagine driving a large pickup truck pulling a metal Airstream RV through the desert. What was I thinking!!!! Maybe we could go at night? LOL

I should have our route plotted on the next post and I hope it's in a few days!

We are taking another person with us on this trip! It's a local TV celebrity and he's looking forward to traveling with us. Any guesses? I'll have his picture on the blog in a few days!

See ya down the road!

Making the first move!

Photo to right: Taken on our first trip to the Tetons.


I'm currently laying out the trip - The Last of the Great 48! Once we complete this eight week journey, we will have covered the entire continental United States since we began RVing about eight years ago. We'll be leaving the day after Mother's Day - Monday, May 12, 2008.

This year's trip will take us to Washington, Oregon, and California! We've been to Washington and California before, but never with the RV. Really looking forward to this trip.

We're stopping in Grand Teton and Yellowstone for about a week. Our friends in North Carolina, Susan and Eddie, will be flying in to meet us there. I plan to take lots of early morning shots of the Tetons so I hope they like getting up early! LOL

That's it for the moment! More info as we get closer.

See ya down the road!
