Countdown to Re-charging the Soul....

The Countdown is still on course and on schedule.....Everything is  moving right along...the camper is getting its final check...will run AC starting tomorrow and turn on the Frig on Thursday....do a final cleaning on Friday and start loading it up along with the Mule.....do last minute shopping on Saturday and pull out by 0800 on Sunday...First stop is around Ballinger, Tx...less than 250 miles up the road.

Then keep the compass heading at about 350 degrees till I run into New Mexico and Taos...from there head North to Great Sand Dunes National Park area then west and North to as yet undefined locations.....Rob Rupp, The Super Casita "modification genius"  and awesome photographer is a week ahead of me...hope to either catch him or have him slow down a bit.....we're going to make every effort to connect sometime/somewhere!

I'm really looking forward to this trip of solitude, hiking, photography...meeting some folks and will do my damnest(is that a word) to slow down and fully "inhale and absorb" the journey....

Until next post....Horst sends

    You know I love sunsets, and that last picture is awesome. Wishing you a fantastic trip. I know you and Rob will have fun together again. Possible that you will be looking for a drone before you get back home.:-)

      Thanks....and your are on target about the drone...I have been doing some research the last couple months...though the National Park Service has made them illegal to fly in any of the Parks.....I was thinking it would open up a whole new area of photography....hope to see you Guys on the road....safe travels...Horst sends

    How wonderful that you are finally ready to take off again. I am so happy for you -- and for me to be able to tag along!

    The Casita/sunset photo is gorgeous. It captures the spirit of your upcoming trip to me. Off into the sunset to new adventures and discoveries. :)

      I had the same problem last week commenting on two other Blogs...Mmmm...I am really excited and can't wait until Sunday...I'm sure the trip will exceed any and all expectations I may have...just meandering around this great Country and seeing/experiencing what it has to show us is reward enough...maybe we can cross paths somewhere along the way...take care..Horst sends
