Thanks for the tips. Florida will likely be spent at my parents park and near Disney and maybe the Canaveral area, but I will flag those CGs suggested. Texas is proving a challenge, we are struggling with the route to either make Texas a destination or to just visit Sonor Caves and head to NM? Tough decision.
We plan to get the NP pass, but it seems we won't be able to stay in many due to having our dog with us. We will still visit as the NPs are a big park of what we are going to see, especially in UT, CO and AZ. As to 'worring about the...' we are just making sure we don't get too many financial surprises and want to stretch the dollar to make sure we have money for the fun stuff. I am hoping we can do some real boondocking and not just the parking lots, I am not a fan of the CG layouts let alone the actual parking lots, but it is the way it is. Issue with real boondocking is I don't have a 4WD truck.
We have rattlesnakes where we cottage and it is not a big concern, just like to know what we might encounter as my kids will pick up anything that is living, my son catches turtles, snakes, insects, etc., just to experience them then carefully releases them. I would rather he know which scorpions won't send him to the hospital! lol. So the concern is more my kids finding them than them finding us!
We are at 8 weeks from departure today and are realizing we are not a prepared as we thought, but we are plugging away and not getting too concerned about it. We can only plan so much and most likely we will change everything once on the way!
We have started our blogs and done the initial setup of a website for friends and family to access the blogs! Though to not get too excited as we get closer to the departure date!!!
