This year’s travel was unusual. We left a month later than
normal and regretted that because we ran into extreme heat and humidity in
Texas and Oklahoma. Then in July we diverted our entire remaining trip plan for
the year to get to Tacoma where we spent 4 months (see previous posts). By the
time we left there, we just needed to get back to AZ before winter locked us in
someplace. We put on a lot of miles but just didn’t see as much stuff as we had
planned. Maybe we’ll do those things next year instead. Our being mobile and
flexible proved to be of great benefit when we got the news in July.
We still managed to visit 12 National Park Service locations
and toured 4 Capitols. We drove some non-interstate highways that we’ve wanted
to travel for years. We don’t have a trip plan for 2019 as we are waiting to
see when, and for how long, we will be needed in Tacoma. We’re patient with our
travel desires, life is not a race.
Below is the annual map with our route. The red line is
2018.
