To see this in chronological order, click here, and it will start at the beginning. One quirk, though – when you get to the bottom of every page, you’ll need to click on “Older Posts” to see the newer posts. Yeah, it actually makes sense, but don’t worry, just do that and it will work fine. It will open in a new tab.

Or Flyover Two, if you prefer. We’re going to do it again!

The big question everyone asks is “where will you go this time?”. The answer surprises most folks – “Pretty much most of the same places we hit last year, but some places we’ll stay less, and others we will stay longer”.

We learned a lot last year. A pop-up camper, even one as big as The Beast, is not enough to ensure a comfortable stay, so we start this trip (and will end it, no doubt) in a new hard-side trailer. We gave this some thought, and went with a mid-priced one. We can’t afford a top-of-the-line trailer,  but knew that a low-end one will not last – we owned one of those a few years ago, and construction quality is very important. Don’t cheap out. We’ll have more room, and much better seating options (VERY important), and also very important, you can just pull over if you need to use the bathroom, or if you need to grab a quick meal in the middle of nowhere. Or, if you just need a quick rest stop, find a safe place to park and you’re good to sleep or rest a few hours, no need to set it up. Also, with a bigger fridge, we can carry much more, and better, food with us. And have a bigger freezer for my fudgsicles and ice cream! Comfort will be huge.

Oh, we still kept The Beast – it has its uses, and we will probably use it sporadically after our return – there are some areas we want to go where the new trailer won’t go easily, and The Beast can go through a lot of rough terrain. Short trips. Yeah, because this year we hope to be out almost six months. Woohoo!

Here’s the new trailer. It needs a name. Well, if the last one was The Beast, then I guess this one is The Beauty! And what a beauty it is!

Here’s the outside door side, with the awning extended:

Here is the other side, showing the two slide-outs extended:

And lastly, here’s the door side at night, with the LED lighting strip turned on. The photo doesn’t do it justice, when that strip is on, it looks like the mothership just landed!

I’ll post photos of the inside as I get them.
