I spent considerable time making preparations for this trip. We took a complete inventory of the RV and were able to lose about 50 pounds of "stuff" but gained a lot of space and a much better sense of organization. I brought the RV up to the front drive for loading yesterday but encountered another problem with the slide-out after getting it parked. Fortunately, it enabled me to finally determine the root cause and make successful repairs. We had planned to be on the road early but with our exit plan delayed, we got finished loading up by 10:00 and had the car and dolly secured by 10:30. By the time we pumped 60 gallons of gasoline and 80 pounds of propane it was 11:15 but traffic was light and there was nothing left to do but drive.
The trip into Kansas was familiar. It was the same route we had taken 4 years earlier when we welcomed Bilbo to our family. We had stopped on our way home to take a picture with Toto as we were leaving Kansas. That was a whirlwind trip in the car, This trip is a bit more of an excursion with just over 5 weeks planned. Our first Destination is a visit with my Aunt in Western Colorado. We were last there in Late May of 2023. We're planning to visit for 4 days with her before proceeding to the NEXT Destination.
Today was a Good travel day, and that's not something I'm prone to saying often. For now, I'l just say Good Night. Check back again tomorrow, I'm Planning on keeping the blog going throughout this trip. Cheers!
