Since our wheels got knocked out from under us last year, I’m working on plans for the Rewind Tour. MOBI (Winnebago View) is properly outfitted and ready to go.

I think the solar electric will be a big asset when we are off the grid (which will be more often than not). And if we are off the grid in areas where it can get warm during the day and where the dog is NOT allowed on trails with me, the micro controller system for starting and stopping the generator as required for air conditioning will save a lot of fuel. I believe we are as energy efficient and independent as we can be.

As always, the road tour will be an ad hoc adventure that develops as we roll along. I’m excited to be heading to Utah once again. Having the RV totaled just before getting to all those wonderful canyons and rock formations was a real disappointment last time. Since Yellowstone is one of those places where the camp grounds can fill up, I have booked a stay there at Madison Campground. I may encounter a couple other places where I have to book in advance but I prefer to wing it and not look beyond tomorrow as my journey unfolds.

MOBI isn’t quite as fuel efficient as the Rialta was but more than makes up for it in hill climbing power, room and luxury. One of the benefits with MOBI is the ladder on the back that leads to a great open area on the roof where I can set my tripod and camera. It should allow for some photographs I otherwise could not get.

As always, your donations are appreciated. Please use the donate button on the left to help with the day to day travel expenses. Large or small, any donation will help!

Thanks and happy new year. I hope that 2016 brings to all of us a time of peace, health and prosperity.

Cheers.
