We are at it again. This year we plan to rendezvous at Ft. Sumpter, SC, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. Our blog will cover the events until we finish this years caravan in Nashville, TN.
After this caravan we have some time off and the plan is to go to the top of GA and I can search for some of my ancestors. Then we start a caravan called Springtime in Kentucky. After that we head for home, hopefully visiting relatives on the way.
This year we started our travels with way too much food. We must have squirreled it away all winter, so finding a place for all of it in the trailer took a long while. Therefore we did not leave Lincoln 'til around 12:30. We are not known for early departures and this year was no exception.
First night was at the Visalia Elks, arrived at dark, paid our fees and had dinner there. Sat at the ER's table, had good conversation and over ate on spaghetti and HUGE meat balls. We had ice cream and home made cup cakes for dessert. So much for staying on a lean mean diet.
Next day we drove to Joshua Trees spent the night at an RV park in the desert next day we drove through Joshua Tree National Forest. We had never been here and it was a delight. Next year we may leave home earlier and spend some time here. Depends on the type of year, this year is perfect, not too much snow, rain or cold.
Arrived at Tonopah, AZ last night after dark and will head for Benson, AZ today where we will spend a day or two touring. I want to visit the Biosphere. Also this will give us a chance to breathe and slow down a bit. We seem to be in a hurry and there is no reason for that.
There seems to be a screw up with the GREAT photo's we took so hopefully that will be fixed next time.
See Ya! Barry and Shirley
