Chapter 5 - Arizona or Bust kicks Off in 1 Month

 Hi all! I've missed you and writing about my adventures. But, I took the fall and beginning of the winter off, emptied the water tanks, winterized and have been traveling only during boring ol' car.

March 1, 2025 will be my kickoff trip for the year. I'm heading across the country to Arizona via Route 66. Yes, I know, I went down a good portion of Route 66 last year, but Oklahoma and NM were lightly driven. I was rushing to get someplace. So, this year I'm taking my time and planning on a lot of mini stops to take photos.

Day one of my trip will be all the pre-camping activities that need to be completed in someplace warmer than freezing.

I'm hoping for less '3 Stooges' and more 'McGyver' this year. 

Have a great February. ~ Mother
