Where to next?
My wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel much of the USA from the 1980’s to present, with our 2 labs. It would take less time to name the states we’ve not traveled, than those we have. ...
3 years ago we went to southern Utah on a desperation attempt to win the lottery for The Wave. I tried for several years by mail and never was selected. So we tried in person. GOT IT! It is three mile hike in, but incredibly worth it. The terrain and scenery is fantastic, surreal, and unbelievable.
Last year we visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park. A little-used and off-the-beaten-path Park. I wouldn't recommend it as a destination, but if in the area it is worth the stop and spend a few days exploring,
We both liked the Flaming Gorge and Uinta Mountains area. We intend to go back.
We spent two days in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada and could not do everything we wanted due to time and weather. My next trip through there will involve a several day stop.
Still trying to figure out how to go to Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. That is so far from California it would involve ~4 days of deadhead driving. Trying to figure out things to do inbetween home and there to break up multiple days of driving.
I would also like to do a fall leaf-peeping tour of New England, but that may be too much to drive from California with a trailer.
We both still have our health and are active, but are at the age we know hiking. paddling, biking, and long driving days will end eventually. So get it all in now while we can!
sounds like some good times. I second the enjoy while you can.
