Road Trip 2015 - Cabin Fever and Planning

The last couple of months have been an exercise in fortitude.  It's been awhile since we've been home for this long of a stretch - a whole two months! But we've enjoyed the opportunity to hang with our friends and ride the new-to-us scooter while getting the firewood racks filled up and completing honey-dos around the house. Our next excursion involves time in South Louisiana followed by a gaunt to the southwest US of A. While we did this same region last year, this year's loop will be farther from the border and for the most part in higher elevation.

We're excited that we have our Renogy solar panel which will help us reduce our reliance on the gennie when boondocking. Totally stoked about that. We've also replaced the most-used bulbs in the camper with LEDs which will help extend battery life. It looks like our first test of this system will be on the Bolivar Peninsula near Galveston. Hopefully we can find an awesome place to camp on the beach. 

Of course, as with Road Trip 2014, nothing is set in stone except our first stop at Pecan Island, LA to do some shrimping and our last stop in Colorado to hang with our Bonanza buds.  We expect to boondock most of the way as our budget is more limited this time but we will surely utilize our renewed Passport America campground discount card when a great deal is available and recharging/dumping is needed.
