Destination Unknown: October 2017

On the Road Again

Here is our itinerary for October. It is completely changed from our earlier one. I understand that snow is in the forecast for Colorado Springs for Columbus Day. Lets hope winter doesn't stay, or we may need to head South sooner.

When my son was 4 years old I made the trip from Boston to Colorado Springs in 3 days. 16 hours the first day, 14 hours the second day, and 10 hours the last day. That 2,000 mile trip and 40 hours of driving now takes me two weeks. That's the difference between a two week vacation and a retirees life. Finally, I have time to stop and smell the roses. Life is good!

About Russ and Kay

I am a camper at heart. When I moved to Colorado, I bought a tent and family vacations were spent camping in the mountains or at National Parks in nearby states. The family loved it. We did a lot of primitive camping. Years later, I met and married Kay. I still had my old canvas tent and we started camping. We had such a disastrous first experience that I am surprised that Kay continued camping with me. We promptly upgraded to a HUGE nylon tent with a built in fly. We continued to upgrade and bought a used popup and thought that was terrific. We were still camping on sites with no water or electricity. One day a co-worker announced he was selling his old travel trailer. It was a bargain, so we bought it. We continued to camp on sites with no electricity and water. Then, in 2005, we bought a brand new 29-foot travel trailer and a Chevy 2500 HD Silverado pick up to pull it. Our first trip out was going to be our favorite state campground with no water or electric hook ups, but it was closed. We went to Salisbury Beach campground which had both water and electric hook ups. Kay loved it. We received a flyer from Tuxbury Pond RV Resort Campground in New Hampshire, so Kay suggested that we camp there the next weekend. Our camper left Tuxbury Pond for only one more trip that year (Baltimore, MD) and then never left again. I did not need my 2500 HD because that trailer never left the campground until it was traded for our new trailer in October 2015.

The adventure has begun. I retired on September 1, 2016 and we are on the road to destinations unknown.
