Massachusetts - Departure Next Week

We expect to be on the road in less than a week!

The manufacturer completed building our trailer this week and sent us the almost final pictures. We won’t bore you with ALL of them, but here’s the outside.

And here’s the inside.

Anyone who saw our last trailer might think there isn’t much difference, but there are a few modifications.

Lots of options for the route, but we finally settled on this one aiming to be in British Columbia for our October 12th trailer orientation.

Lots of driving, but lots of exploring, too! On the way out we pretty much follow the pattern of driving one day and exploring the next, hoping to meet some old friends and see some new places. Destinations include:

• Buffalo NY and maybe Niagara Falls
• White Pigeon MI
• Indiana Dunes IN
• Chicago IL
• New Diggins WI
• Badlands SD (possibly see the new missile site visitor center)
• Coeur d'Alene ID 
• North Cascades WA, and
• Escape Trailers Industries in Chilliwack BC 

Barbara currently has letterboxes in these states.

So we plan to pick up a few more states along the way.

With seven days left, we’re planning, packing and preparing.

Massachusetts - New Adventures are Coming!!!

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while. We haven’t had too much news. With no trailer, we mostly hung out in Massachusetts delving into projects, volunteering at Habitat for Humanity (Bill), learning a new role at Community Bible Study (Barbara), and getting to know our new area.

A local hike we do often.

Do you notice what Bill left for Barbara?

But we were itching to hit the road again with a home on wheels. So after much mulling, we decided to get the same model trailer we had – a 19-foot, fiberglass, semi-custom trailer made in British Columbia. It is cheaper to pick it up than to have it delivered, so we will drive there in a couple weeks.

In the meantime our trailer is in incubation. This is it so far. What do you think?

Okay. I know it doesn’t look exciting yet, but we see potential!

Since our pick up date is in October and Barbara has to be in Colorado Springs for Community Bible Study training in early November, we decided to pick up the trailer, explore the west coast, and stop in Colorado Springs on our way home. Looks like we are getting back to new adventures!

Here is a smattering of what we might see.

 

Time to make plans...
