What a year, what a trip. Upon leaving Las Vegas after Christmas, we traveled to Yuma, across Arizona & New Mexico to souther Texas where we stayed for a month. A stop of 3 weeks north of Dallas to visit Deb & family, then north thru the midwest (with several stops) to Williston, ND. Then across to Michigan where we spent 2 1/2 months visiting family & friends throughout the state.
Without question, the highlight was the week with ALL the family in Hart, MI and the Cousin's Reunion near Bay City. After Labor Day, we spent a few days with Cindy & Joe in Marion, IN before heading for Atlanta, GA to visit Brother Don & family.
A few days near Huntsville, AL with Rick & Pam, several days in SE Alabama visiting more friends, then the long trip back to the SW. We stopped near Austin, TX and in the Yuma area fefore returning to Las Vegas November 6th.
We experienced a few issues during the trip. Problem with a slide on the trailer in North Dakota, which we couldn't get fixed until our return to Michigan; a suspendion hanger on the trailer axle had to be replaced near Bay City; and the water pump failing on the truck in the middle of nowhere in Texas required towing into Sonora and an overnight stay in the parking of the repair shop.
Jerry's heart going into A-fib on July 26th required Cardioversion in Traverse City, all ok now.
In all we towed the trailer over 11,000 miles, put 20,000 miles total on the truck, and traveled in 27 states! We visited soooo many friends & family we can't count them all. And the sights that we saw, people we met were awesome! Some of our experiences have been posted on the blog and we hope to put some more there soon.
And now the BIG NEWS!
After 11 great years of touring the USA in our trailer (6 years full-time), we have decided it's time to settle down. Our trailer is for sale, and we are making plans to become residents of Las Vegas, Nevada. Our new address is 5954 Spanish Mustang Ct, Las Vegas, NV 89122. Hope some of you find time to visit us in Las Vegas.
