Travel'n
I am now an Escapee from the massive drudgery of life. For the most part, anyway. Still have to deal with bills and gas and all those little (sometimes big) things that go wrong and interrupt the fun. We spent last winter in California and Arizona, then Utah, Colorado, back to Utah, and Idaho by the middle of June. Wow, the big, rushing rivers! On through Wyoming, Montana and Glacier National Park, which is amazing, then across the northern tip of Idaho to Washington. Loved Northern Washington except for the cloudy days and rain, but the rain is what makes the forests so absolutely magical--expected fairies to fly up from the moss and mushrooms.
Investigated LaPush and Forks, but the vampires and werewolves remained hidden. Lordy, but Twilight was everywhere: restaurants, laundries, shops, you name it.
One thing I never missed in every town--searching out the bookstores, particularly the used ones. The most amazing one? In Quartzsite, Arizona. The owner wears only a cod piece . . . sometimes less. True. I kid you not. And he has the most amazing books.
Currently in Coarse Gold, CA, just south of the Southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. Lovely here, but it's getting a bit cold, so we will likely head south in a day or two.
Oh, and Dickens loves the life. Not riding in the truck so much, but checking out the views from every window when we stop--usually birds, squirrels and such. Folks with little dogs. When we are ready to move on I put his carry box on the floor and he gets right in, all set to go.
