We’re camped once again in the Sunny Southern California Desert to visit the yearling grandson. We have been doing these trips for a year now at about monthly intervals so the baby will know us from visit to visit. Of course, we also enjoy visiting with his parents and the other set of grandparents.
Next month, we are going to deviate from the usual back and forth across the two deserts to head out for a scenic road trip with the goals of:
- getting away for scenic destinations
- reunion with California family members
- seeing our other little one, the two year old great grandson
We’re still trying to get the other family members to get on-board for the reunion and to get the granddaughter to bring her son to the reunion from the Bay Area to not-to-distant Stockton. This weekend we will get a go/nogo from the kids and grandson as to whether they can participate in the reunion.
Regardless of all the particular commitments, we will still be heading out for the scenic part of the road trip. We’re overdue for a trip like that, but when you live in a scenic and rustic town with lots of activities and attractions, you still feel like everyday is vacation. That last item may be why we haven’t felt the need to hit the road for a vacation from our permanent vacation.
Hi, Just stopped by after a long absence…been busy with traveling back and forth between Alabama, Texas, and Massachusetts. I do want to mention something about your RV…looks like the perfect size for a couple our age…although we have had trailers in the past, your Class A is appealing.

Hey Norm – good to hear from you. We love the floorplan in the Class A:

There are a couple of shortcomings and we are already thinking about upgrading to fix those. Specifically, the single A/C unit can’t keep up with the summer desert temperatures and the cockpit is noisy when driving since we are literally sitting on top of the Ford Triton V-10 engine.
We’re thinking about trading up to a diesel pusher with dual A/C units:

Should be a quieter ride and be able to cope with our deserts in the summer.
