April 24, 2008 - Preparations Under Way

For over a month Donna and Glen have been preparing for the 'Grand Tour'. We have named our adventure:


Bounder Across America


Glen has laid out the itinerary, which you can view by clicking this link
:

The trip includes more than fifty stops along the way, and currently covers nearly 10,000 miles. We begin our journey on May 2, 2008.

Donna has been busy making reservations for the Bounder at RV Parks as well as State and National Parks along the way. Nearly all reservations are confirmed for the journey to California.

In addition to normal stops, we will be making overnight stopovers (boondocking) at Wal-Marts, casinos, and anywhere else we can stop for the night at no cost.

Return reservations to Gulf Shores, AL will have to wait until later in the year.

This is the first entry in our blog. We hope to add updates at least once a week when we are underway. So stay tuned, and come back often to see the progress of Bounder Across America.

And while your here, post a comment. We're always interested to know who's visiting our blog!

Bon Voyage!~
I'll bet packing isn't going to be a problem for you.
Don't go to Albany. They're closing the Ogden/Chromalox plant -- http://gazettextra.com/news/2008/may/01/plant-closing-albany-80-jobs-lost/
We'll be enjoying your trip vicariously.

Take me with! I wanna go, I wanna go! Are we there yet?
I'm thoroughly jealous. I've got this feeling, this trip can potentially give you guys a mid-to early senior life kicker. Go get'em RV kids.

Love,

Harv

Looking forward to following your progress and all the interesting places to see and things to do. I will probably be using some of your ideas for our future trips. Always nice to have someone else do the leg work. You are so organized. We never make a reservation and hardly know which road we are going to travel on tomorrow. Your way probably causes less grey hair. Tally-Ho
