Well it's time to start loading the rig. In just over 2 weeks we will be hitting the road with the truck and fifth wheel. I have been itching to go since we arrived home from Burns last October. The rain and snow and cloudly weather are getting old fast.
The trailer is physically ready. Clothes and food need to be added. The truck goes for a check up and oil change on this Tuesday and it will be primed for the trip. The only challenge will be the weather. This time of year the trip over the mountains is always a day-to-day thing. I hope to travel Hwy 58 over Willamette Pass and onto Klamath Falls and then south. If the weather gets iffy, then we may have to go I-5 over the Siskiyou Pass. It has many more ups and downs, but it is better taken care of because of the high amount of traffic. The truckers, if given a choice, will take Hwy 58 because there is just one "hill" to go over on the way south.
Our path southbound has not been decided (of course the snow level will dictate some of it). Having only a general idea is part of the fun. I do plan to visit friends who are parking their rig in the Quartzsite, Az area. I haven't been to Quartzsite at this time of year, but I have heard that the desert population explodes right now. I will post pictures of what I find. Wait until I tell you where R and I are going to end up! (Hint: see above)
