Transitions

You probably noticed we have a new photo at the top of our blog. It’s of Atlin Lake in the northwest corner of British Columbia, taken during our journey to Alaska in May 2010.

Since we retired in 2007, we’ve done the majority of our travel by road, logging more than 25,000 miles over the western half of North America. From the village of Inuvik in the Northwest Territories on the Bering Sea, to Todos Santos at the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, we’ve traveled in a couple different trailers.

We started out in our 6’ x 12’ Chalet that we hauled behind our Toyota Rav4, and after the first winter in Baja, one of us decided we were not doing that again without our own bathroom.

So we moved up to our 21-foot Arctic Fox 5th wheel.  Altogether we spent, 12 months living in these two RVs over a 4-year period. 

We’ve seen some extraordinary places.

And we’ve made new friends that we’ll probably keep as long as our memories of our travels.

But . . . . it’s time to move on to the next idea.  We’ve sold the Arctic Fox trailer, and following our travel to Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangkok and Hong Kong next month, we’re moving on to the next big adventure:  “The Great Loop”. 

We’ve mentioned this in passing over the last few months, but between now and the first of 2012 you’ll see the blog transition into a “Loopers” blog.  Hope you’ll enjoy our transition from trailer trips to a 6,000 mile boat trip.
