First Prologue

The Background -- June, 2016

In 2013, several RV friends met in Gillette, Wyoming, for an RV rally.  Of the three coaches, one of them had intended to go on to Alaska--the other two could not go that summer so they lobbied for the trip to take place in the summer of 2014.  Their logic was sound:  with three coaches in a mini-caravan there would be help and "insurance"--any break downs or health problems would have some backup.  So the Halverson coach said, "That makes a lot of sense!  I will wait for the summer of '14!" You can see the results of that trip at alaskaodyssey.blogspot.com.

Those same three coaches are now setting off on another mini-caravan adventure--this time on the eastern side of the North America continent:  we are headed for the Canadian Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.  Two coaches are already in New England:  Tam and Ray Murley with Rich Halverson and JJ Tucker.  Jack and Betty Ehlenberg are on the way north to connect with the caravan in Corning, New York.

We have some preliminary traveling to do in the northeastern United States, so the early posts in this blog will be all prologue.  But since we are already on the road, and we enjoyed so much doing our postings on the North to Alaska trip, we will launch this blog from Rhode Island.  So check in with us now and then and watch for our crossing into the Maritimes on this second odyssey!
