Voyage 3.0 (Non-Beta)

Hurry up and wait….hurry up and wait…..

That’s kind of what it has felt like in the last few weeks. We got back from the 3.0(beta) trip all charged up and ready to jump off on the real (3.0 non-beta) trip. Well, not so fast there skippy! There’s the small issue of the non-negotiable to-do list that needs to be completed. Damn….

Yeah, we came up with a list of stuff that needs to be completed before we can go. None of the items are anything huge, they just all need to get checked off the list. Stuff like:

-       Permanently mount the command center on the wall

-       Semi-permanently mount the sand dollar clock on the wall

-       Get Edna an oil change

-       Fix the very small crack in Edna’s windshield (no clue when that happened)

-       Sanitize the fresh-water tank/system, again

-       Clean out some outside storage bins

-       New curtains

-       Rethink the cabover storage setup

-       New serpentine belt for Edna (more on that in next entry)

-       Fix the jeep towing cable (more on that in next entry)

-       Etc, etc, etc……

You might be able to tell who came up with each item and many are not show stoppers. But a list is a list so we daily try to check off at least one thing off. In reality, dentist appointments are a priority so once those are done next week, we’ll be ready.

So, you might ask, ‘Mango and June, where are you headed on this trip?’. Well, that’s a very good question. And when we get there, we’ll be able to answer that for you. Yeah, even we don’t know for sure. We aren’t sure of where we’re headed or for how long. We have a vague idea to generally head in the direction of Atlanta for a while and then possibly back over towards the east coast. That is just about how much we have planned so far.

We spit-balled a little about maybe heading north up to probably Illinois, and maybe Wisconsin. After that we might go back up into the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Or maybe take the ferry from Wisconsin over into middle Michigan. After that it gets really hazy. We talked a bit about maybe doing part of the Kentucky Bourbon trail, Graceland, and maybe even hitting some of the old-time baseball parks. Assumes of course that there’s baseball this summer. It’s always been sort of a lower level bucket list item to go to as many old-time ballparks as we can. Yeah, I know, major league excitement (pun intended).

Ok then, so when do we leave? Again, a very good question. The answer? We’re not totally sure. We keep pointing at this or that date, but it seems to change by the next day. We will definitely be on the road by the end of June. Just how much before is an open discussion. We are dragging our feet a tiny bit so to allow things to open back up again. A lot of campgrounds are just now starting to allow RV’ers back in again after the virus issues.

We will start getting back into the groove of blogging more frequently again. Kind of got out of the habit a little as there just wasn’t much to talk about. Unless you want to hear about the TV shows we’ve been binge watching (yeah, I didn’t think so). But things are starting to ramp back up again so the entries will start happening again.
