We continue to explore the United States and look forward to camping in a few new states this year.
While dates and places are listed below, these remain subject to change until we actually arrive.
Travel segments for this year
RCW to Spokane
We have been hoping to visit a couple whom we met during our first stay in Rincon Country West RV Resort (RCW). This year we put together a plan to make it happen.
We have already updated our plan twice! Adding visits to Death Valley National Park and Redwoods National Park and avoiding closures due to cold weather and snow.

???
Will we spend the entire summer in Indianapolis? Or at least not move the trailer while doing side trips? Or might we visit a few eastern states where we have yet to bring our trailer?
Return to Tucson
We have reservations in Tucson for the 2025-2026 winter. How and when we will get there is currently a mystery to us.
