TRIP PLANNING IS A TRIP

Trip planning is a trip alright! We will complete our three month camp host job at the end of March and we'll be back road trippin' once again.
We love maps

Our tentative itinerary includes exploration in Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado and, finally, ending up in South Texas for next winter. State Parks, historic sites, and at least four National Parks ( Great Basin, Glacier, Yellowstone and Theodore Roosevelt) will shelter us along the way.

While in Idaho we plan to do a few short backpacking trips and visit our friend, Kay, and her daughter in McCall at their new business, The North Fork Coffee Roasters. Even on a paper map, Idaho looks like a wild, rugged state.
Annette planning our next move

By September we'll roll in to South Dakota.  Kristy's nephew, Logan, runs cross country and he will be in his senior year in college and we want to see at least one of his meets. Hopefully, we can also fit in a bike riding trip on the Mickelson Trail with Kristy's brother, Kerry, and sister-in-law, Laura.

We look forward to kayaking again at Pueblo Reservoir in the fall and visiting friends and family in Colorado. Hopefully we'll get caught up on doctor appointments, eat our fill of muffins at the Mate' factor, enjoy our beloved Colorado Spring's hikes and breathe in the fresh mountain air. We hope to circle the wagons with the newest addition, Rolleo (unofficial name), Juliet's new cute trailer.
Circling stops along the way

While planning our adventures we utilize maps, books, on-line guides (The Shunpiker Guide and Trails End), read other full-time RVing blogs, stop at Visitor Centers and get info through conversations with other travelers. Planning sets a structure but we remain flexible and open to changing direction. As always we are loving our rolling life!!
