Trip #1 Dates Shaping Up

Byrdie and I now have a rough idea of travel dates from Bakersfield to Llano, Texas. By staying on the I-10 as much as possible we greatly reduce our chances of getting lost.

March 22--Thursday
The plan so far is to leave Bakersfield and spend the first night at Holy Resurrection Byzantine Monastery in Newberry Springs, CA.

March 23--Friday
The 2nd night I hope to spend in Quartzsite, AZ. As a friend said, "Everybody has to see Quartzsite once!"

March 24 & 25--Saturday & Sunday
Tombstone, AZ.

March 26--Monday
Las Cruces, NM.

March 27--Tuesday
San Angelo, Texas

March 28--Wednesday
Hallelujah!! We pull into Llano, Texas, outside of Austin to visit cousins Sylvia and Donald Lee!!

The Big Trip

I have a plan to travel around the country (in stages) in a Minnie Winnie. I want to visit chat room buddies, see old friends and visit places I've always wanted to see. Perhaps I can even make a stop at the Corn Palace in South Dakota. I'll be staying in campgrounds, RV parks and friendly driveways. All suggestions, invitations and hints are most welcome.

Plans right now are to travel with the labradoodle, Byrdie, for company. The navigation system is installed so the chances of successfully returning home have increased 100%! The first states will be Arizona, New Mexico and Texas where I will visit cousins.

I'm told if I make it there by early April I might get to see the famous Texas bluebonnets.
