Well, it’s time to hit the Road again.
No more lollygagging around nice, warm, Texas anymore!
Time to do an oil change, kick the tires, and clean the windshield because it’s time to get out of here and head North, then West, then a little Southwest, and finally start to come East on the
Great Eastward Summer Migration of 2021!
Texas is waaaay too hot and humid in the summer, so off we go, and we won’t be back until we hear that great ‘60’s group from Paterson, New Jersey, singing ‘See You in September’!
This means that new posts to this blog should be forthcoming on a more regular basis. I’m fairly sure that no one needed or wanted to hear about the day-to-day drivel that encompassed my life while just sitting still in the Great State of Texas.
Which was very comfortable (most of the time).
Except for the Once-in-a-Hundred-Years-Freeze-and-Ice-Storm-Event that was well documented on these pages a few months ago.
Now our Travels will take us on a circuitous route back to New Jersey for the summer.
Starting in Iowa where our big baby will get some much-needed TLC from its Birth Mother in the maternity ward of Winnebago General.
From there we plan to drive westward, with some stops in the Badlands, Yellowstone National Park, and finally meet Paula’s friend Nancy in Missoula, Montana for lunch. Just because Nancy will be there for a few days and, most importantly, we can.
From there we will head south to the Great Salt Lake and a few other sights in Utah before landing in Durango, Colorado for a visit.
When that concludes, we drive Eastward, maybe stop in Nashville, Tennessee and Charleston, South Carolina to visit friends before heading up the Eastern Seaboard to Annapolis to visit Mr. Ritter, my friend and former owner of Ritter Food and Sysco. We finally roll into New Jersey around the third week of June where we will set up camp using Sussex County for a base while visiting family in Maine, Vermont, and Boston with the requisite ‘Down the Shore’ excursion planned for August.
September sees us headed back west to Texas and points further West until it’s time to park for an extended period.
Stay tuned (tomorrow) for continuing posts!
