Hi ALL!!

This iRV2 Fulltimer thread has seemed stuck on "Where We Are Now", so, thought I'd TRY to get us OUT of our winter hibernation phase by finding out what YOUR summer travel plans might be.

To start:

Wife and I are (like many of you I suppose) still waiting out the abatement of winter up North.....and it sure seems to be hangin on, don't it!!

We're presently 'stuck' in ol Florida, fighting the pollen storm which turns the rig and toad GREENER every day, although it's starting to diminish. Doesn't bother me so much, but my better half has pretty much been bottled up in the rig for a month or better.....isn't much fun for her.

Anyway, we'll be headin N. to Indiana for a visit to our rig's birthplace (factory) for a little warranty stuff, before migrating over to visit family up in good ol Duluth, Minn. through most of July. Then it'll be SW to Mitchell, S.D. for wife's family visit before headin West to "Da Ranch" (Hart Ranch) near Rushmore. CAN'T WAIT ...WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLACK HILLS!!

Then, come Sept. or Oct., we'll migrate S. (don't know which route yet) toward Arizona to spend next winter with the coyotes.

So.....where are YOU heading this summer season???

Steve & Lynette

Well I had plans on workamping in Washington but I am having a problem with my right hip so may have to put that off. If I put it off I will hang around Utah until its better, than do some fishing and make plans for the winter. Not sure if we will get out of the state before next winter.

I am in Utah I spent the winter in Bouse, Az, been back here for a month now. I do a lot of river fishing in Utah, many places, a favorite is the streams coming into Moonlake and Yellowstone Creek.

We spent most of the winter in Bouse just down the street from Lee and Fran. Spent one month in Benson visiting some friends.

Right now we are on our way to Idaho for our third summer as volunteer camp hosts at Lake Cascade State park.
Only going to be there half the summer this year because we are going to NH to visit two of our kids and their families.

One lives in a small town outside of Concord and the other lives in Nashua. We usually stay in a RV park in Webster that is sort of centrally located.

We're in Bass Lake, CA right now, working our way up the West Coast. We had frost last night! A little early for this area, but next week we head for Sonoma Valley and a few days of wine tasting - our only problem is we don't have room for all of the wine we will want to purchase. THANK GOODNESS!

We're scheduled into the factory on June 15th but will likely be gone by the time you arrive. Would have been fun meeting you. Have a great time in VT. Steve & Lynette

Chickadee, Moonlake and Yellowstone Creek are both in the Northeast section of Utah with a mountain between them. You get to both of them from the same main road going north.
We have made some changes to our summer plans now and are going to make a run to South Dakota in June or July to get a change or address and driver licenses.
