In the Beginning

We are at the beginning... still a work in progress... still learning... still acquiring... still calculating...

We are acquiring a travel trailer in the VERY near future for our family of four and use our 'remote worker' status' like never before while providing an adventure filled with lifelong memories for our daughters. 

We will start at Home. Frisco, Colorado in the center of the Rocky Mountains just to the west of the Continental Divide. Even though this may just be one of the most beautiful locations, we've made the choice to visit a few others as temperatures start to climb toward summer. We plan to hit the road in mid June, after the public schools are finished for the summer. 

From Frisco we plan to head north and west, stopping at different campgrounds, farms, wineries, breweries, and destinations (thanks in large to Alison's career with Harvest Hosts and now Campers Card) until we reach our northern border near Whitefish, Montana. Throughout this journey the adults plan to work as we do from home while the kids will be enjoying summer camps from Jackson Hole, to Sun Valley, to Glacier National Park. From Whitefish and West Glacier we will head east along US highway 2 until it intersects I-75 at the Mackinac Bridge making stops along the way but aiming for the coast of Lake Superior with expediency.

At the very middle of our journey, we will be joining family for a 50th wedding anniversary in Harbor Springs, Michigan. A true gem if you love an old small town. There are no large hotels or resorts, no traffic lights, no fast food! It does have crystal clear water at the towns beach complete with diving raft and lifeguard chair, an ice cream shop from the days of our grandparents, and plenty of great shops and spots to stop for bite to eat or just watch the sailboats race in the weekly regatta. We plan arrive in northern Michigan for the absolute BEST part of its summer, mid July into August.
