At long last, the Land Yacht is about to embark on its first long distance voyage – The Tour of the West. We have been thinking about this trip for years. It is the offspring of our 3 month tour of the US in 1985. During that trip, we drove the perimeter of the country, but not so much the interior. On this voyage we will travel through Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Canada (getting there from CO by a route yet to be determined), Washington and Oregon. We will be visiting family and seeing sights we’re really excited about.
Thanks to Pete for setting up this blog. We hope you enjoy sharing our adventures with us.
This blog is our way of sharing our adventures on the road with our friends and family as we tour the West in our land yacht. In Home, you will be able to follow our itinerary as we check off sites. To follow our blog entries, go to Captain's Log which is interactive so you can like, comment and/or share. In Gallery we'll have more pictures and videos. If you would like to comment directly to us alone, do it in Contacts. Also, we welcome any suggestions may have for improving our website.
