[Richard]

Thanks Clarke. Many of the campsites were chosen for proximity to hikes or bike trails. Tom, it's what she does, it relaxes her to have a plan. All I have to do is drive.

[whatsnewell]

It's okay Richard.....just thought I would throw a few ideas against the wall for you....

[lbrachfe]

Can I contract Rhonda to organize my life for the next how ever many years I have left, please ???? We don't know where we are staying sometimes until a half hour before and that's after living almost exclusively on the road since 2006. I guess we are lazy adventurers.

[wepaddle4]

Wow; that kind of time is a distant dream for me.
Have fun.

Scott

[bikestuff]

Wow, I want to be that organized but .... Oh look something shiny!
