Let me introduce this new member of our family: Pivot. She’s about 9 mos. old and joined my pack a couple of mos. ago.
I had to put down Gremlin in December due to health issues. But she had a good long life: 19 years. Here’s the current roadtrip crew which you’ll be seeing more of very soon — L to R: Griz, Orbie, Dilly & Piv:
Just seven weeks from now, we’ll be heading out on this summer’s big adventure focusing on Kentucky and Tennessee with other states on the way there and back. I’ll have one more roadtrip (and post) to Central California/Bay Area. I always take these two local trips to test the van, my camera, laptop, etc. to make sure we are good to go.
Happy Trails,
dj & the dogs
