This was truly an unforgettable trip: 8 friends, 1 dog, 2 teardrop trailers, 1 pop-up tent, 1 camper van, 16 days, and 15 sites to visit. Almost none of this journal was completed on the trip due to the intensity of the schedule but I took good notes and completing this after the fact allowed me take the trip one more time. Completing the journal made me realize that the challenges we had faded to the background and the joys of traveling with good friends who can handle anything overshadowed any difficulties. I am happy to report that our dog returned, the torsion bar on a teardrop was repaired, I located my two sets of lost keys, and just got my new glasses – the old ones smashed by a knee while I climbed on my sleeping bag. No news on the 12 volt refrigerator’s status. I hope you enjoy taking this trip again.
