Campground Dreamin'

So I've noticed...

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray.
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
But if I was camping
I wouldn't stray
Campground Dreamin'
On such a winter's day...

My apologies to the Mamas and the Papas. But now that we finally have our camper back, the itch is upon us. We will be meeting up with friends in early March for the big Tucson Book Festival so time to map out that trip. The next Time Travel Trailer book will involve Route 66 so we will follow part of that through Missouri, head for Texas through Arkansas, visit the chilluns in the Dallas area and then to Arizona, stopping at Monahans Sandhills State Park in western Texas and Leasburg Dam in southern New Mexico. After several days in Tucson area, we'll spend almost a week in Mesa--lots of friends and relatives in the area--and weather permitting, take in the Grand Canyon. The route back will probably follow more of 66.

Soon I can start planning menus and haul the staples back out to the camper. But I know I'm not the only one. I see posts on Facebook about how many days until the first campout, photos of new campers just purchased, and plans for group gatherings. We will soon be making reservations for camping weekends around a first birthday and two niece's weddings. I'm also looking forward to meeting members of the Serro Scotty association who have invited me to join them at Maquoketa Caves--a location they chose because of Bats and Bones! The Midwest Glampers will be at Backbone in July and we haven't been there in several years. So here's to a great camping year and a look back at some special times last year. And to more of the same!
