Gettin' ready to head out......

So, we're soon to be off on the big adventure, or as some call it "the odyssey." We leave Wednesday, heading first to Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo for two nights. Then to Dixon, NM, to visit sister Dee. Then to Crested Butte, Colorado for six nights for a conference.

After that, we head to Denver for two nights to visit old friends, then to Estes Park for two nights. At that point, Aug. 5, we'll have been in the casita for two weeks and we'll decide whether we're coming back to the heat or heading north to places I've never been, to wit: Wyoming and Montana.

A couple of weeks ago we took the rig out for a practice run. This was right before departure in the driveway.

I'm going to try to make little flags for each state we visit. This is the first one, representing our little road home.

I haven't blogged in years and never really did get into it then, so you'll just have to bear with me while I learn the "ropes," both of blogging and, of course, of camping.

Feel free to never look again! Meanwhile, stay cool.......
