This morning we were able to have a leisurely breakfast and
enjoy the campground before leaving since we had reserved our Saturday
campsite. (I didn’t realize that ReserveAmerica had charged me $8 for that
privilege!) While wandering around the campground and just taking it easy, we
met a camper from Colorado. He literally talked our ears off telling us all the
places that we “had to” go. After an hour of being talked at, I was literally
reconsidering all the places that we “needed to” visit. I even got mad when I
skipped a stop that two people had said we should go to. After getting to our
campsite and setting up and looking over maps and talking to Joyce & Dom,
we made some minor adjustments to our trip. And then, we sat down and discussed
what our goal was for this cross country adventure.
1.
Use this trip as a “second honeymoon” in
repeating the cross country drive of 1975
2.
Transition from work to retirement
3.
Use the $3400 that we would have had to pay for
delivery of the trailer for our adventure
4.
Slow down, relax and chill!
So, tomorrow, we return to our original plan of driving 100
miles per day. Driving with our eyes open and the foot lightly pressed on the
accelerator. If we see something we want to see, great. If not, that’s also
great. Despite the above, the sights today were amazing. We are now camped next
to a golf course, a wide river & a railroad. We are hooked up to electric
and are enjoying the air conditioned air, I’m drinking a beer and Barbara is
microwaving some popcorn! (This morning, we ran our blender on 110 volt without
hookups!) So for now………..
