On April 27th, we set out for another 6 months or so of exploration and adventures - lucky us! By the 25th, we'd moved out of our yurt and into the RV, as planned. It would still be the 6 of us. The doggies are getting old (Senny now 13, Ouray 15!), and Ouray's having more and more trouble, but dang it, he's still hanging in there (thank God for the arthritis meds!)! 2010 was our first, gung-ho outing. East to Florida, north to Quebec and the Canadian Atlantic Maritimes, and then diagonally back home to San Diego. 10 months out. 2011 was going to be our big trek to Alaska! But Bill's back had started seriously bothering him at the end of our last trip, in Nov. It wasn't until July that we had that sorted to some degree. The epidurals didn't work, and the only other orthodox medical option (major surgery) would only be a last-ditch option. So, diagnosed and drugged, Bill was ready to do the best he could manage on a shorter trip. Up California, through Nevada and Utah, then north again to just east of the Tetons in Idaho. It got better and better on that trip (Tetons - Yellowstone - Glacier - Waterton - Banff - Jasper), with the furthest stop being the crown jewel. Jasper absolutely took my breath away! Then back home, truck repairs and all, with time in Washington and Oregon. Too rainy and cold for us spoiled San Diegans! So this year? 2012 is taking us to the states that we can "easily" get to that we haven't RVed in yet: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kentucky. And as usual, I am behind!!!!!!!!! Haven't finished either of the last two blogs, and am already about 3 weeks behind on this new one! But c'est la vie! Carpe diem! And que sera, sera, dude!
Well, you gotta start somewhere. And we're starting this deal in Arizona...
