      April, 25th, 2023.

      April 25, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

      Slowly but surely the excitement is building so departure date is still due for the first week in May, all things being equal. A number of things have to be negotiated especially the price of gas in Arizona. However to use the good old Africaner saying: "... alles sal regkom" (everything will come right). We'll see. Irrespective, the excitement monitor is steadily climbing - as the thought of hitting the blue green highways in the very near future approaches and forms in our consciousness more and more solidly. Oh, why a blue green highway...? Stay tuned all will be revealed.Read more

    • Day 6

      Welcome to Blue-Green Highways (Update).

      April 28, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

      As per the previous Find Penguin posting, the excitement builds. However, we have a few hurdles to overcome such as a doctor's appointment and a hike coming up next week. Other than that, we will probably be leaving the second week in May. Not the first at present. Our dearly beloved, Chariot Major, also known as "the truck", "the van", whatever, is undergoing a final inspection having its tires rotated and replacing the motor of the interior fan that cools us down at night and possibly having a hook for a hot water shower placed on the outside of the Chariot so that we can... shower - and with hot water too. Of course, hereby lies an interesting lesson. When we were in Wyoming last year we had just invested in a hot water heater powered by the Sun. However we had overlooked the fact that as we were camping in forest in Wyoming we were not... in Arizona. What difference does it make? Not much, except that the sun is not quite as strong in Wyoming as it is in Arizona! The lesson in this of course is that when we decided to shower it was cold water. Which for someone like myself who insists on a nice long hot shower was not really conducive to camping out in National Forest! Such are the joys of getting away from it all!
      While it is still early days, I look forward to being able to put you on the mailing list for the potential, repeat potential Blue-Geen Highways video updates that hopefully will be coming on a sporadic basis after we press the firing button and launch into the wild blue yonder - until such time - all the best,
