Travel plans are beginning to come together for 2014. We will be headed off to Illinois for Dawne and James' July wedding. I believe we will stop in Michigan first, to take in the Ford Museum in Deerfield. It's been on our bucket list ever since we went to Nassau and met up with a couple who had been. They made it sound pretty awesome. Similar in nature to the Shelburne museum in Burlington, Vermont. It has an eclectic mix of buildings and stuff and, of course, Fords.
We plan on traveling no more than 200 miles per day, more like 150. We're traveling with 2 dogs so they'll need frequent bathroom breaks, and we'll boondock as much as possible, keeping costs down. By the time we get to Michigan we may need to rest for a few days. From there, we travel right to Naperville, Illinois, where the wedding is to take place. We'll stay a day or 2 depending on our need for rest, once again. Unless I find something really cool to go do..:D Then we may stay an extra day.
Next stop is South Dakota for personal reasons. I'll post more on that when we get on the road. We have to be back to Massachusetts for August 2nd, so time is of the essence. We may have our very first COE(Core of Engineers) job in Uxbridge. :) We need to get our paperwork done but I don't see any reason why we wouldn't get it. We will be taking care of the park in exchange for electricity and a place to stay.
Al and I visited the park and dam earlier this past summer. We were exploring the area and walked around the dam and traveled some more down the road and found the park. It has 3 RV spots for volunteers, as well as a beautiful beach, grills, and a playground. We instantly thought we should try to volunteer for this park. Al checked into it and we're in the application process now.
So those are our tentative travels plans up to October 2014. Don't have any costs yet, still working on it. Sounds exciting, though!
