I can't wait to take George to Yosemite.

I keep a file of interesting places state by state that I have read about in other RVers blogs, and I try to mark them in my Streets and Trips maps with pushpins. <br /><br />We never had a break-in at the house when we were gone, and all our "good stuff" was with us in the rig, so there wasn't anything worth stealing! LOL .. even the tv's were old, and nothing of value left anywhere. Heck, we have no money so none of that laying around either. It all goes in the diesel tank!

We get all our brochures and then have fun poring over them. You can stay at any Thousand Trails park even if you aren't a member. They honor Passport America and there's one about twenty miles from Yosemite. Where did you get your laminated copy of the Motor Carrier's atlas? I have not seen a laminated one and would like to update ours.Jeannie and Eldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664198861231288915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-57845239439590919272012-09-08T19:01:21.701-07:002012-09-08T19:01:21.701-07:00I can't believe you actually counted all those...I can't believe you actually counted all those screws!!!

Not...Never had a break-in but I do think about it. Not so much when we had an alarm system. <br /><br />I like "Road Trip USA". This is a quirky guide, more for the journey than the destination. It takes you along the back roads, not the beaten track. <br /><br />I also have a good hiking book for my state (AL). It gives a lot of detail about the trails and degree of difficulty, whether they are dog-friendly etc.... I'm sure CA has one as well although it must be in several volumes! <br /><br />Your desk looks a lot like mine right now.
