But, plans are made to be altered. We might decide to go get some fried clams in Delaware and we might decide to tour the USS Midway in San Diego. We hit the far NE, SE and NW corners of the lower 48 last year. I'd like to show Pumpkin the SW corner on this trip, however that's a long ways. But, the price of diesel is probably as good as it's going to get. So, we expect to log anywhere from 6000 - 9000 miles...if Pumpkin's wheels stay on and our butts hold up. One thing...no, two things that will likely determine our direction out west, the weather and the forest fire smoke. Either one could send us further south and the later it gets in the mountainous areas, the fewer campgrounds remain open. Mid October is about their limit. some even sooner.
Laura and Christian will be holding down the fort at home. They needed a landing spot for a while and we needed someone to watch the house. So, all our backs get scratched. Ahhh!
Aloha!
