| Our Story
In January 2004 we had a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to
travel the country. Our goal was to visit as many of the parks
in the US that we can - national and state. Our time frame was
open and we had no plan or schedule...we devised one as we went,
primarily based on weather in areas. But the great part of having
no itinerary was that we could stay longer in places when we felt
the desire, or leave an area sooner if we decided we'd seen enough.
Flexibility. What a lovely idea!
Our RV is an Itasca Spirit, 29'6" and we tow our Honda Element
behind which carries all of our toys - 2 kayaks, 2 mountain bikes,
2 road bikes. We just felt that we couldn't take a vacation without our
toys...and it worked out perfectly. We got to bike or kayak whenever
and wherever we wanted without the hassles of renting. Somedays
we even multi-sport, such as in Ocala, FL when we went bike riding
in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon, without ever having
to go back "home".
About this blog (Travel Log 2004) We've developed this blog to try and keep our family and friends informed while we were on our travels. The links below will take you to our weblog pages from our Trek Across America. We organized them by month for your convenience. These were the same journal entries from our old weblog, but we wanted to incorporate them into our new website and without the picture problems we had before! If you're visiting for the first time, keep in mind that weblogs are online journals, written with the more recent entries at the top. So, to read chronologically, scroll to the bottom entry and read UP!
