The Big Trip

Check. Check. Check 1. Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check. Check 2. Sibilance. Sibilance.
Is this thing on?



We (Mark and Lori) are planning to use this blog to update friends and family about our "big trip".  For those new to this crazy scheme, it goes something like this.

0. Retire (done)
1. Buy an RV  (done)
2. Fill it up with stuff (working on it)
3. Take a few practice trips (thinking about it)
4. Hit the road, sometime in late September.
5. Travel "clockwise" around the US and Canada, staying in nice weather as much as possible.

The idea is to spend approximately one year, traveling and living full-time in the RV - with the exception of a brief visit to the Boston area at Christmastime. We want to visit lots of state and national parks with a main goal of enjoying some of North America's most scenic areas of natural beauty. We've collected some "points of interest" here.  We may also check out a few offbeat attractions, e.g. from the atlas obscura.  If you have suggestions for "must sees" feel free to share.

We hope to see many of you soon - either before we leave, or somewhere on the road!

  1. Consider a small honda generator for portable power. Although i assume most places y’all will be camping will have electricity, it is nice to have your own power source.

    1. There is an onboard generator! Unfortunately it runs on propane and is louder than a nice Honda, but it's good enough not to buy one.
