On the Road Again .... Again

We really wanted to leave home for our summer trip today, but with our painting and repair projects we weren't sure we would make it. We could wait and leave on Saturday, but we needed to be in NW Ohio early on Sunday morning and didn't want to push it. Finally, we decided we would quit painting Thursday night, finished or not, and pack and leave on Friday. While we didn't finish completely, it was close enough; the rest can wait until October.

This morning we began packing for our three month summer trip. I mean, we hadn't packed anything! We finally hit the road at 7:00 PM, well after the Friday rush hour. We drove until about 11:00 PM and are spending the night at the Tamarack Center in Beckley WV, where they allow RVs to park overnight in a dedicated section of their parking lot. Tomorrow we will continue north to Bowling Green OH and attend the FMCA convention. After that we will move further north to Thousand Trails in St. Clair MI. After that we are not sure where we are going. We will ultimately land in Ely MN near the end of August for our annual Boundary Waters canoe trip, however our route there is uncertain. We will probably spend time in northwest Michigan and Michigan's Upper Penisula. We may loop through Ontario and travel the north shore of Lake Superior through Canada. We will regroup and make a plan after the FMCA convention. We will take out from our Boundary Waters trip in mid-September. After that we will make a decision where to go and when to come home. Where we go in September and October will likely depend on where all we get to in July and August. We will likely arrive home in the first or second week of October. Ours is an unstructured life on the road.

Sounds like you had a busy July. Glad we were not having to do all that hard work. Hope you are enjoying your unstructured life on the road. Keep in touch.
