Our RP-171 is on the way out

 It's been fun...

We've enjoyed our small R-Pod immensely, but it's being replaced...by a larger R-Pod!

2021

Early summer visit to KY

We went to KY specifically to drive parts of the "KY Adventure Tour", a route set up for motorcycles, but with 4x4's in mind too. We "camped" at Holly Bay Campground and at Natural Bridge SP. From each location we went out on the "Tour" and enjoyed the scenery mostly, but also some lightly challenging roads. We did several stream crossings, often "testing the waters" beforehand. At a Rockcastle River crossing, we decided the water was too deep and turned around. There were several other points where it was usually muddy conditions that turned us around.

Before leaving Natural Bridge SP, we used the chair lift to visit the arch. We also enjoyed an evening with Glenn, Sonia and Abby in Somerset, and stayed in Richard and Connie's yard on our way home.

Colorado

In August, we spent two weeks visiting CO and driving parts of the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route( CO-BDR ). BDR's have been defined in several states, mostly in the west but also in New England and Mid-Atlantic. Our time there was short since it took a week to and from Colorado. While there, we camped 3 nights at Pitkin Campground(Gunnison NF) in Pitkin and 2 nights at River Fork RV Park in Lake City. The one driving day from Lake City took us on the "Alpine Loop" going over Cinnamon Pass and Engineer Pass. Most of 3 days from Pitkin took us on some challenging roads too.

During our visit, we also went to Great Sand Dunes and Black Canyon National Parks. A pleasant surprise at Great Sand Dunes was a "jeep trail" that was another challenge. We turned around there too, because we still had the trailer hitch on the 4Runner. 

Sept-Oct

We've purchased a 2020 R-Pod 192,  (Wedn, Sept 29, 2021), which is much larger than our RP171. That and a Ford F250 truck to tow it are the beginnings of new adventures.
