Steve & April's Big Adventure

In August 2006 we began our new life as people without a home, without jobs and without a schedule. We are traveling around the United States in our 1965 Airstream travel trailer.

Many people have complained that they can't leave comments without a blogger account, but that shouldn't be the case.

I hope this really helps with communication while we're on the road--which begins in 4 days, by the way!

Maiden Voyage Success!

We went to Pickett State Park last week for the maiden voyage and it was a huge success. The Airstream and truck did great. The gas mileage was not as bad as we feared--it got 10 miles per gallon. The weather was really very hot but we persevered and went on hikes every day, then retired to the cool air conditioning of the Airstream. Steve even cooked meals!! We are looking forward to departing for Ely, Minnesota on August 1st!
