Month: November 2017

Well, we survived the family Thanksgiving events and shared the news of our trip with about everyone in our families.

Yesterday, Cair submitted her official resignation from her job and she alerted the school that the kids will not be returning for the spring semester.  Over the last week or so, I finished getting the solar panels installed on the Flying Driving, gotten the roof rack on the jeep, installed the base plate for towing the jeep, and finished all the wiring changes on the jeep. I haven’t actually attached and pulled the jeep just yet, but that is coming very soon.

The first leg has been determined, at least in theory.  We will depart Springdale on January 1, and will head for Hot Springs National Park.  From there it will be to New Orleans, then along the coast all the way down to the southern tip of Florida.  We will visit Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and Dry Tortugas National Park during the first few weeks in January.  Then it will be off to Sebring, Fl for a trade show for my work.

More to come!

Well folks, it’s really going to happen.  There were some major hiccups along the way, but things are actually coming together.  About six weeks ago we purchased our motorhome, which has already be named “The Flying Driving Camper”.  Over the next 48 (YIKES!!!!) days, we will get the Jeep all ready to go and try to get things buttoned up so that we can begin this epic journey together!

I’ll get some more pics of the Flying Driving posted soon, as well as the planned route for the first leg of our journey.

When I created this site, we didn’t exactly know what our plan was, but that is now solidified.  We are going to visit as many of the national parks as possible in 2018.  Yes, we are also planning to visit every state as part of this, but the MAIN goal is the national parks.

Stay turned for more about our awesome family journey!
