Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Our World–Planning a road trip

I love making a plan. Just not Too far in advance. Typically I can’t wrap my brain around more than about six months at a time.
01 GRCA view from Transept trail
I’m planning a road trip after my season is over mid-October at Grand Canyon. There are some places I want to revisit and lots of new landscapes to explore.
02 B&W illus two girlfriends
Plus, I’d really like to meet new people along the way also. And I’m positive I’ll cross paths with many.
03 color illus online anywhere dessert
However, I’m also hoping to meet up with fellow bloggers and some of you may be close enough to my path of adventure to make that possible.
So here’s an informal route and I’m Certainly open to recommendations. Really hope we can cross trails along the way.
