Know those maps with the stick-on states you can put on the outside of your
RV? You get to stick a new state on everytime you go somewhere new. We
don’t have one on the outside of our motorhome, but that doesn’t mean we
don’t have one. I love maps, and maps with pins stuck in them, and maps
with stick-on states. Ours goes on a board we stash in a cabinet. We bring it out whenever we
want to look at it, or plan a new trip, or add a new state. The last state
we added was Michigan, almost two years ago. We may have to try to go
somewhere new before the end of the year. Let’s see. Which way should we go? No, we haven’t had the motorhome to Maui. We just liked Maui so much we
pasted that one on too.

We woke to the strobe light torture, the one you get when you drive off into
the sun at dawn on a clear day and the terrain is flat and there are tall
pines lining the road. It happens to us every time we drive a particular
stretch through Louisiana. Flash, flash, flash. It happened to us this morning without driving at all. Our bedroom window
faces east. We’re camped on the high plains. We knew the sun would come up
and start the baking process at about five am, so we pulled the bedroom
window awning out the night before to protect us. This morning there was a
breeze. There was an unobstructed low sun, a breeze, and a slightly
flapping awning. Another recipe for the strobe light torture. Flash,
flash, flash.

Another day on the road. A twenty-two mile day, to be exact. We moved from
Dakota Ridge in Golden to Chatfield State Park in Littleton. We’ll stay
here for a week.

Maybe it’s time for another haircut.
