I would like to have another OTR First Timers Week in August, only this time we’ll go with Baud’s suggestion and call it On the Road Virgins Week.
If you haven’t taken the plunge and submitted photos to On the Road yet, step right up!
Just be sure that you write out your descriptions in Word (or something) and paste them into the form – it’s only happened twice, but on the off chance that something goes wrong with the form, then you have only lost 5 minutes of your time doing the copy & paste.
When our National Park plans crashed and burned because of COVID closures, we looked for another way to spend the month of April. California, Utah, and New Mexico closed their state parks, but Arizona kept them open and kept the campgrounds open, too. We ended up visiting 7 of the 16 that had camping facilities. It wasn’t the trip we’d planned, but it worked out okay nonetheless. Other than Florida, we’d never spent so much time in a single state and we got to see a lot of the variety, from deserts, to the Colorado River, to mountains.
Arizona doesn’t like such a good destination now (mid-June).
