Why Did You Go Where You Went And When

When it comes to heat I’m a total wimp. I found I like to winter in Sierra Vista in SE Arizona. The RV parks are reasonable, it’s beautiful country with adjacent 9,500’ mountains, at 4,600' it's cool without being overly cold, and there’s excellent quail hunting. As for summers, the past two years have both been a little different. Winter of 2015 I found myself in Houston TX with a failing RV engine. During the spring I traveled to a friend’s place in San Marcos TX where I replaced the engine myself, but still burned up my travel budget. 2015 was one hot miserable summer for me! I was sooo happy to get back to Sierra Vista last winter! Spring of 2016 I acted on a 48 year old dream of driving to Alaska on the Alaska (Alcan) Highway. I’ve recently returned after two months and over 12,000 miles traveling and living in my 26mpg Dodge Caravan. I’m currently roasting in Sierra Vista, thankful that I’m not in Tucson or Phoenix. For August I’m relocating in my RV to Ruidoso NM and then up north to visit friends scattered throughout Illinois before I return to Sierra Vista for the coming winter. For next year, I plan to explore the Pacific Northwest and Montana, staying where it’s cool. I’m hoping to learn to fly fish next summer.
