A Winter Camping Excursion Delayed and Now A Spring Camping Excursion

Saturday, January 16, 2016.  Looks like our winter camping excursion is now a spring camping excursion.  We'd like to make a trip to Banff but our timing for a week's vacation is not likely a good time to be in Banff though.  David has a the last week in April off, early Spring yet still early enough in the season where snow could still be on the ground and possibly fall from the sky.

So the idea that is now brewing is take a quick tour of the Olympic Peninsula, likely to be wet and rainy but warmer and a less likely an area to see snow.  And this is all we have, as an idea for now.  No specifics and no real thoughts or plans have hatched in our brains yet.  And then we'll suddenly find ourselves in the month of April without nary a new thought about our vacation later in the month.

Serenity is holding up quite well since we parked her back in the storage lot back in October.  As the cold weather was coming early for Metro Vancouver standards, David quickly winterized the van by adding RV antifreeze to the water lines as well as drain the fresh and hot water tanks back in November.  An RV cover would have been nice though as Serenity is exposed to the elements and has a touch of green forming along some of her trim.  She'll definitely need a bath sooner rather than later and perhaps even a good flushing of the gray and black tanks.

That's about all we have this time around and hopefully we'll be posting on a more frequent and regular basis.

Happy Camping!
