Greetings all. If you're wondering about the title of our Blog, it's an acknowledgment to our Irish heritage and one of my father's favorite sayings. Whenever we'd leave on a trip, my father would say, "We're off on a cloud of heifer dust." And that's what we're doing!
We've officially been 'on the road' for three weeks today and have racked up about 1700 miles on the RV. We've left plenty of dog hair and other things in our wake and worry we might not be invited back! (traveling with 2 terriers isn't always easy). We've seen family and friends along the way and have marveled daily at the beauty of the varied scenery. We're trying to avoid the big highways/interstate and have been rewarded with some lovely and interesting sights. California's central valley could likely feed the world. Crater Lake is amazing. The coast along Big Sur is awesome and Highway One a challenge to drive with fantastic views. We've seen a bear, sea otters, lots of birds, deer, zebra (@ the Hearst Castle lands) and look forward to seeing more critters and sights along the way.
Aside from visits and sights, we've started to get into the swing of living in our 26 foot RV. Truman and Fergus, our 'boyz', have quickly adapted and seem to enjoy leaving pee-mail messages in all-new locations. They don't seem to miss their former home and yard and routine.
We're still mastering some of the challenges of RV life and figuring out big and little things that help make it better. Other RV folks are quite helpful, too. We're both still thinking a year of this life will suffice... but, who knows?
We still don't have a specific agenda, but plan to continue heading towards warm weather. Some of our plans may be delayed due to weather/road conditions and we'll adapt as needed. There is something freeing in only knowing vaguely where we might be tomorrow, let alone next week. We both miss friends and family at home, not to mention the space of a house, but we are indeed adjusting to this non-routine.
