Our plan is to depart home April 3 and go west 3,303 miles to Eureka, California. Our route will take us on a leisurely jog through the USA to the Grand Canyon, Arizona - Death Valley, California - Reno, Nevada - and across California to Eureka on the West coast. Planned stops will include the Grand Canyon, Reno, Death valley, and some other, yet to be decided side trips. We'll report more as we go and hope you enjoy.
GETTING READY:
We used the RV on a "dry run" at the end of September for a 3 week trip to Indiana. We enjoyed our outing, especially with the grandkids in Indiana whom we don't see often enough. Everything has gone pretty well with the RV; Just a couple minor adjustments that have since been corrected without a lot of trouble. As far as I can tell, the equipment is 100% Ready to go. New tires - balanced - all new fluids - new batteries - some new switches and solenoids - newly serviced/coated rubber roof - wax job............. I have periodically taken the RV out for a drive to keep all the mechanical components running and lubricated, and to keep the batteries charged. The next step is to move it into the driveway to start loading for our six month journey. I'll do that the last week of March to get ready for an April 3rd departure.
We're itching to get started, sota like the night before Christmas excitement waiting for Santa to arrive. Gas prices are going up and we're not getting any younger so nothing will hold us back. Stay tuned.......
