In two and a half weeks Virginia and I are headed west once again. This time in the dead of winter. First stop, Buffalo Wyoming to check up on real estate. Then on over to Oroville Ca for Christmas celebrations. Eventually we will head south to Death Valley, then east to Great Basin, Grand Staircase, and the Moab region. Once we have had our fill of Moab, (we always gotta take in the Moab region seemingly on every trip, I think it is either an ADDICTION or an AFFLICTION) then on down to the Painted Desert, then head east through Gila, traversing the back roads of New Mexico ending up at Big Bend Ranch & Big Bend NP. All in all between an 8,000 and 10,000 mile round trip. Our gear keeps us warm down to around 15 degrees so the temps will dictate our travels. For instance, if we learn that Great Basin NP is rather nasty and below zero at night then we'll keep heading south to Mohave Preserve, Joshua Tree NP, etc etc. I just hate the idea of being anywhere near Los Angeles or Las Vegas. (been there, done that). No matter what the temps, we will be camping somewhere in the Moab region. I cannot think of a better way to welcome the New Year than being amoungst the redrocks decorated with snow.
The only deadlines we must meet will to be getting to Oroville by the 24th and back home before the end of January. Cool, our snow chains arrived today!
Nonetheless, anyone else in the TLCA family interested in joining us for a bit while we are out and about PM me and we'll make arrangements to meet up, camp and run together for a bit.
With any luck at all I'm hoping to tell an even better story than my last one. Enjoy !!
