Anticipation


    Countdown seven days ... we leave May 27. So now are working our way through our checklists. He has a Pre-trip Maintenance Checklist he's going through ... stuff like brakes, fluids, oil change, tires, batteries, hoses, etc. I'm working on health, financial and detail checklists. Details include notifications, document checks, meal planning, etc. 
(If you would like copies of our lists give us a holler and we'll send them to you). 
    Dan managed to install the solar panels without climbing up on the roof. He used carpet squares attached to the top of the ladder to prevent scratching and well-nuts with the screws to prevent leaks. We expect to do some boondocking and those solars will help keep our in-house batteries charged.


   Thanks to our talented daughter we now have our "Coyote" on our back window. So if you are traveling throughout NW US and into Canada and up to Alaska ... look for our coyote.    We've already connected with a half dozen people who are on their way north. So we expect to trail them, lead them or get out of their way. But mostly we hope to connect somewhere on our travels. What a treat that will be! 
So ... Anticipation ... and thanks to Carly Simon ... travel music.
