Three Weeks. But Who's Counting?



We’ve been living on the road for three weeks.

As Kristy explains, we’ve been boondocking much of that time. Now, when full hookups (electricity, water, sewer) are available our Airstream is like a loaded studio apartment. In fact, it's nicer than most of the places I lived in college. Without those hookups (also known as boondocking), it’s like a nice aluminum ... tent. Well, calling it a tent is a little extreme, but you get the idea.

Personally, I’ve found that I enjoy the Airstream traveling experience. And the farther we go, the more interesting it becomes. Although we’ve relished our visits with family, friends, and wild bears, the lure of new discovery is always intriguing. There's something almost primal about entering virgin territory with your residence in tow! Perhaps we're getting a taste of what those first settlers felt, via our aluminum covered wagon.

Tonight is our final night in Missoula. Tomorrow we head farther north into Montana (Glacier National Park), with Canada on our radar.

Hey,
When you are boondocking you might want to stock up on battery operated items and lots of batteries. (Just a thought).
Have fun!
Love you!

Kelly, agreed.... And it's really not that tough. I think the hard part was boondocking for a week in a row. There was at least one evening in which we skipped showers because our water supply was low, and we didn't feel like towing over to the dump station. Now THAT'S camping, ha ha! :-)
