It is hard to believe that we will be leaving home in just two weeks from tomorrow! We will head to Arizona to spend Christmas with our families before we take off on our Mexican adventure.
I would be kidding if I said that I will miss our Colorado winter weather. Last week we were enjoying 60+ degree weather – this week we have had two snow storms and we are working hard to get temperatures in the 30s! Sunny days and beaches, here we come!
Penny, on the other hand, loves the snow! Friday’s storm brought 8 inches of snow, last night’s about 5 inches. Penny tried her hardest to help us shovel the driveway. She had a ball! Check out her youtube video! https://youtu.be/soqLffQTORQ
Despite the weather, preparations are ongoing to get this show on the road. Tobey has been busy charting our route. He is using Microsoft’s Streets and Trips, along with Mike and Terri Church’s book, Traveler’s Guide to Mexican Camping. He has the first 60 or so days mapped out with ideas for campgrounds entered into the program. We plan to generally follow the route, but want to be flexible how long we stay in any one location. Right now we plan to enter Mexico at Eagle Pass, Texas, just east of Big Bend National Park. We’ll keep you posted as the trip goes on.
My office is the “staging” area for all the things we need to pack into the motorhome – for the trip and for Christmas! My checklist keeps growing – first aid kit, prescription refills, reading material, clothes, and games. I’ll start gathering food supplies next week.
