Mother Nature Weighs In

Since it is time for us to get the bus out of storage and start packing, Mother Nature just decided to remind us who is in charge.  The snow has been falling since late morning and the weather prognosticators are saying it may be 8 to 15 inches here in the mountains.  No worries, the bus is already very experienced in snow.  Seems like each time we have had it out so far it has been in snow or rainstorms.


Away We Go!!

Well – Gary and I are getting ready for our 6 weeks on the road! We leave Park City this Thursday, March 12th, and think we will return sometime around the middle of April. Our ultimate destination is Beaufort, SC to see the Byrne babies (triplets from cousins Bethany and David) and to hopefully lend a helping hand. Our current itinerary looks something like the following for the first several weeks –

March 12 – 13 – Moab, UT – Play golf
March 14 – 16 – Santa Fe, NM – Visiting friends
March 17 – Palo Duro Cnyn, TX – Camp – Visit old family friend in Tucumcari
March 18 – 19 – Branson, MO – Play golf & whatever
March 20 – 21 – Huntsville, AL – Play golf
March 22 – 26 – Birmingham, AL – Play golf with friends from LA
March 27 – 31 – Beaufort, SC – See Byrne babies after lunch w/cousins in Atlanta
April 1 – 2 – Great Smokey Nat Park
April 3 – Ashville – Play golf

Here the trip gets a little more ‘free-form’! At some point we will head back west going thru Nashville, TN, Springfield, IL, Omaha, Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, Cody, WY and finally home!  All of this looks something like the map below:

We plan to provide updates here so you can peruse at your leisure. Hope you enjoy.

Trial Run


Well, our “trial run” went just great.  No major problems and plenty of moderate weather to get some things done without cold, numb fingers (as we encounter while trying to work on the bus in Park City this time of the year).  We had a terrific time celebrating Deme’s 7th birthday and spending several days with Heather and Haley, who flew over from California to join us. We also celebrated Barb’s and Dorthy’s birthdays while we were there.

Many thanks to Barb and Andrew for their hospitality and putting up with the rig parked in their back yard for 10 days.
