I leave Alice Springs on 24 April. I have to overnight in Sydney. Only one flight a day into and out of Alice to Sydney, yes there are other flights to other towns but still can not make the stateside departure from Sydney. I meet Ann at Dulles (DC), she has had six extra weeks in the states, and we arrive in Rochester, NY around midnight the 25th
.
My sister and husband have already done a full road service on the truck and trailer
, family is wonderful. We leave Rochester on the 29th and overnight at Drummerboy Campground, Gettysburg, Pa. Then on the 30th we make the rest of the trip into Maryland staying at the Ft. Meade FAMCAMP. .
Sunday, 7 May we pull out for Onslow Beach FAMCAMP, Jacksonville, NC where I will get a day of fishing
with the Master Gunnery Sergeant.
Wednesday, 10 May, we head to Patrick AFB, Fl. FAMCAMP. This is a long drive 650 miles
.
Friday we drive up to Eustis Fl.; Sunday, up to Opelika, Al.; and Tuesday on to Kentucky to look at some property
. Thursday onto Ohio and Friday back into Rochester.
Clean and winterized the trailer on Saturday, store it on Sunday. Finish up Monday with my folks and Tuesday back to Dulles where we will spend our last night in the states with our kids. Wednesday to LAX and arrive Friday morning at Sydney then the final three hour flight to the middle of Australia and back to Alice Springs for 13 more months
.
The "Where is KO4A" link will be working if you want to track us on the road.
Hopefully this will be our last “speed” run. When we come home in 07 we hope to slow down and maybe even retire and join some other full timers.
This trip is almost a mirror image of last years 3500 mile run.
Good luck to all and Tow Safe.
