The end of an era, March 4 and we say good bye.
Howmany states?
So long Voyage, it’s been a great 7 years!
The Winnebago Voyage has served us well and now it is time for a new owner to enjoy her as much as we did. We drove the Voyage through all but Kentucky, Wyoming and Rhode Island in our 5 years on the road with her. Several states we drove through but did not spend a night so they don’t get stickers.
Ready, Set, Go……
Finally, we are all loaded, the bikes and car are ready to roll. We left the dealership about 10:30 am with us following a transport guy named Frank who wore a really big cowboy hat and headed to New Mexico where we will officially take ownership of our new home. As soon as we made the first turn out of the dealership, Frank was taking the next right turn and cut it really short, barely missing an electrical box! This isn’t going to work so quickly I direct Paul to turn and head for the highway while our home, our livelyhood and Frank head to the Fueling station. We will meet Frank and the chase car in New Mexico, following is way too scary! As it turned out we made a stop in Payson for some lunch and decided to wait for our home. From Payson to the New Mexico State line we lead the caravan, probably a bit slower than Frank and Al wanted to travel but it is our home and we always travel a bit slow.
Snow in Arizona
The drive was beautiful as we stayed off the interstate until just before the border. Once we stopped at the Welcome Center, took a quick picture of us and Frank at the border we headed to Gallup where we will take possession of our new home! Once we hit the interstate, Al took over and we had trouble keeping up with them! The new rig goes up the hills really well. We made it to Gallup, signed the papers and in a rainstorm we took our first steps in our new home! We only went 50 miles to Grants where we will spend a couple of days just relaxing and getting to know our new home. We needed our new fireplace last night as it got really cold! We need to head south again soon!
I wonder how long it will take to fill another map in our new Winnebago Journey? Happy travels to us
