Another Year - Almost
Well! Here I am back where I started again and nearly another year has passed as I prepare to start the next journey with my two cats. Here in Prince William Forest RV Park near Montclair, VA the harvest moon has risen and I consider the past year and the time spent on the road from Northern Virginia to the Rockies with a winter in Florida. The loneliness has been pervasive yet, maybe more bearable as I have traveled around the country and hiked, fished, walked the beaches and shores of seventeen states on my journey which started last November (in my Winnebago).
As I linger more in one spot with less activity (other than the mental stress of getting vehicles re-registered in Virginia and personal property taxes paid -- penalties challenged etc.), the loneliness creeps in but, I'm reminded of the loneliness of just being in one spot (like Kingstowne) and that it was even more prevalent in my thoughts before I left this area. I look forward to getting back on the road and using all those different fishing rods I have tucked under the RV or in my Jeep -- but, yeah! Wish I had some companion to share the journey and time with but, can't go on the internet for that One. If only it were that easy.
So, maybe a week or two in Myrtle Beach; then a month in the Amelia Island/Jacksonville area this year with another week or two in the Panama City Beach area followed by a week around Navarre Beach before heading into Arizona (Phoenix area) with my sights set on a winter in south Texas (Corpus Christi, Padre Island, or Port Aransas). Summer in southwest Colorado is still the plan after Texas and maybe a stop in the four corners area (Grand Canyonland and etc.) before pulling into South Fork in mid May.
An earlier start this year will hopefully keep me on track for the southwest before the winter sets in there.
