Road Trips 2010
I have taken many road trips with friends and the family, so road trips is nothing new. I have done a fair amount of towing with my last 5th wheel RV (I recently sold my small 1993 Terry 5th wheel RV). I have not towed outside of Oregon except for Camas, WA where my sister and nieces and nephews live. This is/will be the first time I make road trips beyond Oregon/Washington myself with my “humpback whale” riding behind me!
I have not taken any road trips with my new rig which is a 2003 Dutchmen Victory Lane Toy Hauler since I bought it in November (about 4 months ago) I’ve been waiting for the right time to do the “maiden voyage” and the time has come! I have talked about my much-anticipated road trip to Tacoma, WA with stops in Albany/Corvallis, Oregon and a possible stop in Camas, Washington (I will post about that journey later this week!).
I have plans to take trips to Tacoma, Port Townsend and possibly San Juan’s Island in Washington state later this summer (and one trip to Tacoma next week) with plans for a trip to Pocatello, Idaho for a friend’s wedding (I haven’t seen him since my parents separated/got divorced). Upon seeing him get married to that awesome girl of his, I will be making my way to Sacramento, California to see my cousin Graduate! (he was going to get married, but postponed it for now) before he leaves for Hawaii to attend Manoa University this summer.

I hope you have an exciting, safe trip and a wonderful time if you decide to go to the wedding. I look forward reading about your experiences in your mobile home, while you drive from city to city, is it not a perfect thing to blog about?
