Continuous Travelers – Oh Shenandoah
Our first stop in Virginia was the college town of Blacksburg, home to the Hokies of Virginia Tech. Not quite in the Shenandoah Valley, but close to mountains, hiking and all the excitement of a big-time football college with 39,000 +/- students. We really thought this might be the place for us as we drove…

Continuous Travelers – A Series of One-Night Stands
Although we told each other we were going to take our time and enjoy the cross-country trip after leaving Tucson (we tried), we found ourselves simply putting in the miles. The three nights we spent in Amarillo, Texas waiting out the high, gusty winds and freezing cold left us anxious to speed ahead and begin…

Continuous Travelers – Rock On
Several years ago, as we wandered through Saguaro National Park in Arizona, a couple suggested we stop at Chiricahua National Monument. We had not heard of it, but made the detour to check it out.It’s a small, out-of-the-way park outside of Willcox, (spelled with two Ls) Arizona. Back then, Reg learned of a park service…

Continuous Travelers – Ancient Footsteps
Two years ago, we escaped the cold Oregon winter and, for the first time, spent January and February in Tucson, Arizona. The area turned out to be a hiking paradise for us, offering what seemed to be a never-ending network of trails. This year we’re back in Tucson, revisiting some old favorites and discovering new…

Continuous Travelers – This Is Not What We Expected
It was a free campsite, just off California’s Interstate 10…a quick stop on our way to Tucson, Arizona. There are no amenities offered at Chiriaco Summit Campground, just a place to park…no charge. Reg and I expected a free-for-all with trailers and RVs scattered every which-way around the desert landscape. However, the Chiriaco Summit rest…

Continuous Travelers – Moving On
We never intended to stay so long in Fort Bragg, however…we weren’t expecting such a nice campground just south of downtown. We weren’t expecting to find so many interesting coastal and forest hikes. We really weren’t expecting to have such gorgeous weather for the three weeks we’ve been here. Blue skies and little wind have…

Continuous Travelers Explore The Pygmy Forest
It’s been six weeks since escrow closed on our Oregon home, and just two weeks since we left Southern Oregon and headed south. We haven’t made it very far, but that’s okay. There is no timetable. We’re enjoying an extended stay along the coast of Mendocino, taking full advantage of a stretch of beautifully sunny…

Continuous Travelers Hit The Road
With the exception of our two camp hosts, we’ve outlasted every other camper who has pulled in for a night…or two…or three at Emigrant Lake. While our 2-week stay has far exceeded our expectations, we are now in danger of overstaying our welcome. With our brand new driver licenses tucked safely in our wallets, the…

Continuous Travelers
We continue to camp out in Southern Oregon while the last “loose end” issue is completed. We opted to keep our Oregon residency (for now) for a variety of reasons, but lacked a necessary Oregon mailing address. After Reg made numerous phone calls to a variety of agencies and businesses, we chose to contract with…
