Heading South So Soon?

Not much has been happening in our world.  

We’ve been enjoying the weather, doing a bit of remodeling on our home base, feeding the deer, checking out bear scat, visiting with family and reading blogs of our friends that are getting ready to move south for the winter!

I did find some wild salmon at Costco and smoked it in our smoker.  Nummy!

I also replaced my falling apart backpack with a new one.  It's pretty poor when buying a backpack makes your blog!!  In other words, not much news from us right now.

Some of our snowbirding friends are getting ready to head south in September.  I looked at the calendar and realized that September is almost here!  Where did the summer go?   However, I must admit once the summer is behind us the northern campgrounds empty out and that’s a good thing.  

If someone were to ask us our plans, I’d have to admit that we don’t really know when we’re moving out for the winter.  Our chalkboard has a few things on it but plans for the southward movement aren't there yet.  It may depend on how busy our family is or how busy they aren’t.  

The Siskiyou Mountains may also have something to do with our timing.  Driving in snow or ice is not something we like to do.  We have talked about places we’d like to be but that’s pretty much it other than how nice it’ll be to reconnect with friends this winter.

After Labor Day is behind us we do have a tentative trip planned to Virginia.  Most of you don’t have to guess what we’re going to do there but right now, it’s very tentative.  Another planned outing is a trip back to Hawaii around the middle of October.  That one is even more tentative. Everything on our calendar is definitely subject to change.  That’s why it’s written in chalk and not in concrete.

Like everyone else we do have some favorite places.  Maybe we’ll be able to visit some of those including Monterrey, Pismo Beach, San Diego, Palm Springs, Tucson and Scottsdale.

Monterey

That’s not to say we’ll get to those places but we just might.  We may even add a few spur of the moment adventures. 

Pismo Beach

Only time will tell where we go and what we do. 

Palm Springs

Most certainly we will end up in Arizona during the month of January.
