Summer 2011 Manifest


Tim & I will be departing this Friday morning for a great summer road trip. Of course the Airstream will be in tow and Roxy will be on board with us as well. Roxy will be taking it slow ... She has a paw that is mending.

Our trip will start out a bit different than ones in the past. We've added a stop at the head of our trip that we've been wanting to do with the Airstreasm but it's just never worked out. We will be taking Tim's mother, Louise, to her second home in Alabama. It's important to us that she always arrives there & back safely. This means Tim and I will be departing separately. I will be driving Tim's mom in her car along with Jose. I'll introduce you to him later on the road. Then Tim will be driving Roxy in the big truck with the Airstream in tow. Even though we will now depart on the same day I will arrive in Alabama one day ahead of Tim. He will take two days to get there and he will be making an overnight stay on the way somewhere in Georgia.

During this expedition we will be courtesy camping, dry camping off grid, rally camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, stargazing & enjoying many campfires. We have a few hard booked dates and some days with no plans or reservations. That makes this adventure even more exciting not knowing where we will be. Weather will play a big part of our decisions at that point. It looks like there will be lots of rain in our forecast BUT a bad day camping is still better than a good day at work!

Our goals for this trip ... Dream it. Plan it. Live it. Take a few things off the bucket list. Bask in the great outdoors and life. Conserve & be as green as we can. Figure out all the new gadgets purchased for the Airstream since the last outing. Enjoy Roxy's daily entertainment. Explore America & discover it's little treasures. Everyday will be an adventure. Giddy up .... Here we go ....
