OT D train's epic road trip

[D-train]

Lynda says Priest lake and huckleberries!

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

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….

Oh my God. So sorry to hear that, Jay. Prayers for Jimmy!

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!

Thanks brother. Let me know if you would like us to visit?

Any idea when you’d be around?

Let me be the first to fill in July

Brewster Washington sockeye fishing

One of the guys I coach in the summer with lives up in Okanogan. He's showed me pictures of the Brewster Bar (or is it Bridgeport Bar?) while this is going on. It looks like you could just walk from one side of the river to the other by stepping from boat to boat!

Congrats Darin....this is awesome. I'm jealous. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning at 5:15 as I am driving to work so I can work a few hours before getting on a school bus to coach a game in Moses Lake, just to get home late and do it all over again! I'm getting too old for this shit. Retirement sounds like a fucking dream.

Thanks brother! A bit stressful now trying to downsize our stuff and get moved out of this house but it will be sweet once we are finally on the road.
