We wrapped up our 35-day fall trip and are home safe and sound. There were many good things on the trip:
- No issues with our Winnebago Travato - all systems performed as designed
- I'm lucky to have such a great travel partner (Elena) as we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary during the trip
- I'm also lucky to have the best dog in the world (Bebop) - she is a great companion and traveler
- We had many great adventures and only a couple skinned knees to show for it
On the downside:
- We both got COVID at the start of week #4, after successfully avoiding it for 2 1/2 years. It was likely caught during a grocery store stop - one of our few indoor interactions with people. We just modified our schedule for reduced hiking intensity and kept on rolling.
