As of yesterday, I'm putting in my last three days on the job, before hitting the road. Although I've been living in a motor home for the past year, I hadn't really considered myself an RV dweller as I was renting 1.5 acres, and had full hookups, with a fence around 3/4 acres for my Bella. I'm fully aware that I don't have cool kid status -- not building out a van; know nothing about mechanical, electrical, technological, solar stuff; heading out in a Class A towing a Chevy Malibu Classic -- but maybe I'll be able to contribute something small, once in a while.
I've been so busy getting ready to hit the road that I forgot to make a plan as to where I'm going! I'm not supposed to report to Sequoia NF until May 3rd, and I've been excited about the free time for the first time in my entire life, to just go wherever I wanted without tiny time constraints, and I don't have to be in Sacramento very quickly because my daughter, her husband, and the twins will be in Reno next weekend, so I realized I needed a better plan than: Leave Central Oregon on Wednesday, April 15th!
I was hoping to check out Crater Lake on my way down, but it's still closed to vehicular traffic, so I had to scratch that off my list. After looking at a few dispersed camping areas along Highway 97, and discarding them, I decided to keep going until I got to the Shasta Trinity Forest, and found a Shasta Lake shoreline campground that is free until May, so I'm heading there first. I'll stay one or two days then head to Sacramento. And that will be my very first dry-camping-in-an-RV experience.
