Motorhome in its resting place a Keith and Sheila's in StanwoodWe left on our adventure on August 15th 2008, and returned on October 16th 2008. We traveled in a 2002 38 foot Pace Arrow motorhome, and towed a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt. We put 7900 miles on the motorhome, and just a little over 3000 miles on the Cobalt. We traveled through 25 states plus Washington DC. In the middle of this adventure, we took another adventure on a 7 day Carribean cruise out of Miami where we made some new friends whom we will stay connected with, and hopefully cruise with again. (next year?) We also spent time with Seattle friends, the Cohn's in North Carolina and the Jones' in Tennessee. They happened to be in those areas for weddings while we were in the same vicinities. Along the way we stayed with Joyce's high school friend Jandora and her husband Tom in the Salt Lake City area and visited our old neighbors Craig and Wendy (and Maggie, Kate , & Olivia) in Dallas. We hung out with Joyce's sister and family for five days in Chicago, which is always a good time.
We started our adventure in 107 degree heat in eastern Oregon, and ended up in temperatures in the 20's with snow in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. In between we dodged Hurricanes Gustav, Hannah, and Ike, and got caught in a severe thunderstorm in Charlestown South Carolina.
We discovered that wherever you go in the U.S., there are interesting things to see with pleasent surprises everywhere. (and great people with interesting lives) Plains, Georgia is a good example.
But now it's back to reallity with Joyce back to her job, and me adjusting to retirement. I now have even more time to plan the next "big adventure". So stayed tuned, as we plan on updating the blog (weekly?) with news and pictures of our lives.
