We are complete! The four of us are now six and we’re ready to continue our travels along the blue roads of America. The third couple and their motorhome caught up to us here in Malta on Friday afternoon and their arrival was cause for celebration. Don and Ardella, our dear friends from Arizona have joined the caravan and are rearing to go. We will leave on Tuesday morning for North Dakota, then turn south to South Dakota. That’s they way we will operate on this, our great adventure. No ironclad itinerary, no reservations farther out than a day or two except for holidays and flexibility always. Our plans to bypass South Dakota were immediately changed when we learned Don wanted to see Mt. Rushmore. From there, who knows? Our ONLY agenda is to be in New England for the fall colors. Beyond that, we will make it up as we go along
