Fall/Winter/Spring 2017/2018

Seven months on the road, next month at this time we’ll be back home. One month ago, at the beginning of our sixth month straight on the road, we were at Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. It was high desert country with incredible red rocks & cliffs all around us, dry and warm and dusty. We are, one month later, in northeastern Arkansas, flat farmlands with flooded fields & rushing muddy rivers, Quite a difference and oh my, the beauty we’ve seen. Utah was outrageous, so full of color, but we had to leave due to winter storms coming in from the north. We will SO be coming back to see more! New Mexico, only a small part of it, and we spent so much time running from the high winds. We will come back here, too. Up into the panhandle of Texas, and as quickly out of Texas into Oklahoma. Buffalo and Texas Long Horns at Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, never to be forgotten. Playing hopscotch from one Wildlife Refuge to another throughout Oklahoma and Arkansas. What a great month it was. We travelled 2,408 miles in the RV last month, lots more miles if we add what we travelled in the car, too. We stayed at 14 different campgrounds in UT. NM, TX, OK, & AR. During month #7 we’ll be visiting relatives in Missouri & Kentucky, and after that we haven’t decided yet whether we’ll go back to Georgia to visit the alligators again, or maybe go back to Louisiana – both two favorites from last year. Or maybe we’ll do something new, like the Great Smoky Mountains. Mostly it will depend on the weather. We’ve found weather conditions play the biggest factor in where we go and when. We do know that we are enjoying every minute of our adventure and cannot wait to see more.
