Yeah, our plans changed. We typically spend winter overseas. Usually Europe and SE Asia with work stops in the middle east mixed in. While we would have no issues going, the flights are largely shut down and work isn't going to pay for me to sit in a hotel quarantining for two weeks every other month, so...
We loaded up near the end of September and headed west. Other than some nasty winds across southern Wyoming, it's been great. Cool comfortable weather for the most part. Light crowds.
Today we are hitting our 7th National park of the trip (in addition to several National Monuments, state parks and other cool places). The nice thing being so late in the season is crowds are down (Zion was busy but the shuttle driver said it's way down from a month or two ago).
We were in Sequoia yesterday and many of the popular stops, there was only 1 or 2 cars and the roads largely empty. Today it's off to Yosemite...snow is the biggest concern given the weather forecast.
PS: One ironic thing...With one exception, the NP visitor centers are shut down in the name of the Rona. Yet oddly, every single park gift shop is operational. Apparently, the Rona fears RV'ers bearing gifts.
