Leave Tommorow For West Coast

We head out for extended West coast trip tommorrow. Been home couple months and we are sure ready to get back on road. Can't wait to see West, never been there before. Planning about 10 months to do it.

We drove our Workhorse from AZ to NC for a few months some time ago and it performed flawlessly. Besides the bumpy ride on I-40 near OKC it was a pleasure to drive.

Have a safe trip!

If my job winds down in time, I hope to be following you in a couple months. Where are you starting from once you get there? We will be starting at a boat race in Bakersfield, CA in late April. We only have a couple months before I have to be in MO for another race. We want to try to work our way north all the way to WA. Please post the highlights along the way.

The nice thing about a short 10 month trip, is you will have a desire to come back over here and see more.
As we go full-time later this year, we are focusing on our own backyard here on the West Coast for the first couple of years, before heading out your way to see as much as we can see.

Safe travels, and remember that you are always going to be welcome to come back as often as you need!

Retired last year and spent the first summer (June-October) out west. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota and just scratched the surface. Enjoyed it so much we decided to go full time so we could spend more time exploring. Best of luck. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Enjoy as much as you can all of you, you do not realize right now, but life is really short as I now look back on it.
I retired at 54, new MH and away we went, its the best of memories and all the good friends we met on the road.
Enjoy all and safe travels.

Enjoy your trip.

In 2016 we left MD and went to the west coast by way of Glacier NP and returned by way of CA and the southern states. Took us 7 months.

Last year we only made it from MD to CA. Hope to repeat the 2016 trip this year.

So much to see and do west of the Mississippi that we can hardly wait to get started.

Take care and safe travels.

Dave & Donna C.

We are starting at Texas and going to several national parks, LV, then San Diego, then up coast to Seattle, then across toward Yellowstone, many parks planned during trip. Finishing up unhook and heading out in 3 hours.
