Headin' out!

Lord willing and the crick don't rise, we're leaving/will have left outta Tucson Monday, 2 Jan 06.  In our usual fashion, I'm expecting to hit the road 'long about the crack of noon.  Welll, usually we're on the road around 10.00 or so, but, tomorrow's trip being on the order of 30 miles, I don't expect we'll be all that expeditious in starting the expedition.  30 miles can translate into anywhere from a half hour to several hours journey for us.  Bensen will still be there, whenever we get there.

The point of this ramble is that we're goin' to ramblin'.  The general plan is to drift from Tucson to southeastern AZ, to southern NM and then to TX.  We're going to roughly trace the route of the Rio Grande down into the lower valley in the Brownsville area.  We don't have a timetable, I expect that we'll drift as we feel like, and stop and look around as we're moved to do so.

That's the general plan for the colder months, then as the weather warms we'll head east.  From TX into LA, AL and into NC.   From there we'll wander north, and as spring warms we'll be returning generally west, to end up back in SD for the summer.  Probably. 

The Quilter has some folks she'd like to visit as we trek by, so it wll be somewhat of a zig-zag journey, I'm thinking.  While we're about it, I'd like to see if I can meet up with some of the Fido guys.  So it may get even more ziggy-zaggy.  Probably.

There's no particular destination or route in mind, other than that we'll be generally heading eastward along the lines of I-20-30-40 into NC, then possibly as far into the northeast as PA, then head back westward, most likely along the route generally described by I-70.  Along about MO or KS we'll then head towards SD.

So if you're along that route of march and want to share a cup of coffee (or some other beverage), sea stories or campfire lies, give a holler.
