Adventure Location:
Decatur, Alabama

We got in some good walking today by breaking it up into two sessions. 3.4 miles was the total to our surprise. However we did not get any pictures today for some unknown reason. Knuckle Head OFM is likely the reason.
Perhaps some of the excuse is that early this morning we were able to sensibly make a decision on if to roll. Yes was the answer. Then the real tough choice was where to head toward. Right now the decision is head south on I-65 to Birmingham and turn right onto I-20 and safely make it back to Texas by the second night. From that point we can choose points of interest and roam freely for 2 to 3 months and still get back to grand-kid land in time for all the birthdays in Alabama in July and August.
After being stuck here for 10 months we need to carefully go through the Castle and Sierra to make sure everything is in its traveling location. I doubt we have been ten months continuously in the same campsite since October 07, 2007 when we rolled out of Richland, Washington to begin our full time traveling.
We are planning to attempt to move less frequently than in the past. We have noticed the hot temps line is already just about up to I-10 in western Texas. Staying on the cooler side of that temperature line is probably a good idea. It might be time pretty soon for some boon-docking in New Mexico before they make their HIGH price increases in July.
Most of all we are excited that the repairs on the Castle, Sierra and the OFM seem to have us ready again for chasing wonderful adventures while roaming this country.
On which ever road you end up on you could make a point of stopping at all the roadside attractions (ie: "Worlds Largest Ball Of String, next right") and historical markers.
ReplyDeleteI knew a guy who'd pick a destination a ways away and he aim in that direction when he'd use freecampsite.net or one of the other apps (rvParky.com ?) that offer route planning. He'd give the app a wide range (allowable distance from the main route, picture a "V" pointing in the general direction) to show free camping sites within a given tow distance and he'd pick one to go to.
He'd explore the area for a little while then repeat the procedure for the next place. He ended up with a kind of zigzag path TOWARDS his given goal with free places to boondock on the way and new areas to explore.
I don't know if you've met Karen & Tony who full time in a class C but Karen has great lists & reviews of boondocking places all over the country. She has links, locations, maps and other useful information on the places they have been. Nice people too!

I am aware of the zig zag route planning but seldom use it. Wheelchair traveling is a site i check out now and then. They do a good job of covering the style of locations a person may want to visit. Thanks for the Information.
