Giant roadtrips always make me think of Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley,". It's about a real trip he took around the country with his dog, in a truck rigged up as a camper.

His passages about the lust people have for hitting the road are my favorites.

"I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any 'Here'. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move."

His vehicle, "Rocinante:"

I have decided to retire early and we are going on a year long RV trip around the country leaving May 6th going up the California and Oregon coast then visit my parents in Lynnwood in late June. Then head east to Yellow stone then right through the middle of the country hitting Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky in the fall and then to the mid Atlantic states to the Coast. Then head south to Key West for winter. Then head back west to spend entire Spring Training in AZ. Should be quite the adventure!

I bought this trailer on Thursday and the Ford F250 yesterday. And that is my itinerary from early May to late June.

That is really exciting Darren.

Be safe!

Priest Lake is the best and there is a good place to eat at the resort

Thank you. Alvin is my all-time favorite Mariner as you can probably tell. Great player and an even better human being.

Priest is my favorite lake in Idaho…just a special place. Raised my kids there boat camping in the summer…so many great memories

On another note my oldest son Jimmy flipped his 4 wheeler yesterday up near Priest shed hunting. He is in the hospital with 5 broken ribs a partial collapsed lung, broken pelvis, Brocken coccyx, and two damaged vertebrae Say a prayer for him fellas he has a long recovery. Julie and I are driving across the country we left Orlando Tuesday and what was a scenic jaunt across the country has turned into a get home marathon….
