Westward, Ho!

I am in the hyper mode of getting everything ready for an extended trip across America.
We sort of, maybe, have a game plan.
It will be something like this:
New Harmony, IN or Nashville, TN, first day/night.
Shawnee National Forest, Friday night
Kansas, Saturday night...okay, I know...you think, Kansas? Here's the logic.
The last encampment of the Native Americans, who driven east by various sources of encroachment, built their last fort in Kansas. You drive about 45 miles through corn fields...miles and miles on a dirt road as flat as a pancake...and then the topography changes, a rocky outcropping and a ravine....down at the bottom is the campground, along a lush little creek bed.
Nirvana!
Sunday night will take us near Colorado.
Monday night we'll make it to Colorado...we are staying one night with Ruth Ann and Jim in their cabin @ 9500 feet. Acclimation!
Then onto Mesa Verde, Sedona, the North Rim of Grand Canyon and finally, Santa Fe....
I will blog and log every detail~I am so happy to have my little camera and a blog site....think home movies!
My first post will be tonight, showing the Conestoga Wagon being loaded. Bill dubbed our old Suburban the Conestoga Wagon...outfitted for the long haul. We, shall we say, do not travel lightly.
Stay tuned.
