What a year we had!! We spent most of the Winter in Texas, including a month on South Padre Island with our friends Dorsey and Kyle, bounced between 3 Thousand Trail RV Parks with our friends Pam and Junior from Kentucky and then headed North and West. Visited Guadalupe Mountains National Park in north Texas and the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Spent 3 weeks in Gunnison, CO where we had warm weather with Sunshine, cold weather with some Snow, explored Dinosaur National Monument on the border between Colorado and Utah, a couple of nights near Flaming Gorge in UT and on to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. In Oregon we started out near Bend and visited Lava Land and Obsidian Mountain. In Washington State our first stop was Leavensworth, which tries to be a Bavarian style town, then we went north to the border to Canada and ventured south along the Pacific Coastline. What a beautiful scenery!! We also had a surprise visitor, Maria’s sister Ulrike , who spent two weeks with us. Mt. Mood, Mt. Baker and Mt St. Helens, all still had lots of Snow at the top. On our way back East, we stopped at Custer State Park in South Dakota to see the Buffalo Roundup and Mt. Rushmore. Met with our friends, Lisa and Keith in Iowa for a couple of days before we headed South to see our boys in TN. As always, we went camping over Thanksgiving with Arina and Bertus in Florida. We also spent time in various campgrounds in central and South Florida to escape the cold weather. Now , in 2026, we plan to spend more time with our boys, go on a cruise to Alaska and ship Maria off to Germany in Fall. The rest of the year we will fill in with some needed maintenance/repairs on Schnitzel, find another vehicle we can pull behind and other planned and unplanned activities. May 2026 be another great year in your and our Life. Stay safe and healthy and enjoy Life, we only have one….
Until next update,
Maria and Bernhard
