Summer Prep

5/12/2018

We've spent April and May at home in Tennessee, seeing family and taking care of medical and vet issues.  We're also here to get new shocks put on Louis, which has become a challenge because the shocks that are supposed to fit don't.  We managed to find a machine shop that could bore them out for us, so now we hope that they fit when we take them to Buddy Gregg next week.

Several friends and family have asked us what our plans are this year and where we're going, so I thought I'd add a short summary of our summer plans.  We'll hit five states and 18 stops before heading back to Florida for the winter.

Hold on to your hats - here is our summer:

EDIT:  We've been asked to give a little more detail on wha the sights are where we're going, so here's a little more info:

If you'd like to join us in any of our travels, please let us know!

​After that, we'll take two weeks to head back to Brooksville, FL for our six month winter stay at Belle Parc.  Although we've not set anything in concrete, 2019 will be spent out west.  Since this will be more than one season, we've not decided where to head first, so stay tuned.

If there's anything we shouldn't miss, be sure and let us know!
