Did your summer travel plans work out?

So far. Due to scheduling, traveled in July to hot and crowded places for a couple of writing assignments, reminding me why I often prefer off season trips to family-oriented places after schools are back in session.

Went to Jamestown, Williamsburg, Gettysburg, Niagara Falls and all three of the national memorials for 9/11 (Flight 93 in Pa., NY World Trade Center new museum, and Pentagon.) Three weeks instead of our usual 8 to 10 weeks. First long trip with our Big, Black B dog.

Now some free time has opened up, so I'm contemplating other options, probably in the Southeast. Family party mid-October to plan around, along with some medical scheduling.

We were very whimsical this summer and made no plans except when we were leaving and coming back. First trip was up Central California coast.I had July 4th gig so had to leave on Saturday the 5th but got a site at Emma Wood cg in Ventura for that night and on to San Simion then Big Sur, Monterey , Felton Redwoods then back South and home. Second trip was Yosemite (after thinking about Yellowstone) then over Tioga pass,Silver Lake, Bodie ghost town, back to Silver Lake then back down 395 to home (San Bernardino). Wonderful trip. No reservations . No plans. I love rving.

Summer is not over yet!

No.

Better than my wildest dreams!!! :B

I'm still on a 4-month roadtrip, finally heading East but still have a lot ahead: Glacier NP, Yellowstone NP, Grand Tetons NP. Currently in beautiful North Cascades NP. It would be impossible to pick a favorite from the cities to the beaches to the mountain peaks.

What a great country!

Read your post and talked DW into Jeep day trip to Yellowstone park to have lunch and see old faithful. Haven't been up there in a couple of years. Raining here at 5000 ft. May be snow up there. Nice to be close for fun trip.

Was a great summer trip. 12,540 miles in 2.5 months. Alaska, BC, Alberta, NWT, and Yukon were the new destinations for us. No flat tires, no windshield chips, no problems. 1,114 gal of gas, average 11.25 mpg. Five trips on the Alaska Marine Hwy. It was close to what we planed, no big surprises.
We have at least one more two week trip in October. Labor Day means the end of 100 degree days.

Definitely NOT. Early June we started off for San Diego following the old US 99 through Washington and Oregon. We made an number of side trips to photograph wooden covered bridges in Oregon. We reached the California northern border with temperatures around 98F. Experienced the same problem as the previous aborted trip to San Diego - loss of 4th & 3rd gears, ABS light on, speedo reading zero. In Yreka, 104F, the problem thought to be heat related. In Redding, 108F, DW & RT had enough. We headed for the coast where it was 54F and returned to Canada without even a suggestion of the problem.

The problem was eventually diagnosed as the Vehicle Speed Sensor, which was replaced. So far, we have had no re-occurrence, nor have we had any really hot weather. Currently we are in Ontario, by way of BC, AB, SK, ND, SD, MN, IA, IL, IN, MI and headed for Quebec.

In our neck of the woods, travel around here picks up after Labor Day.
