Bye Truckee.
On the road again. Even though we were all packed up, “staged”, and ready to go, it was still noon before we left the house.
To be in the RV again. Underwhelming. Annoying. Unstable.Literally. Sad. We don’t want to leave Tahoe. It’s so nice to go weekday skiing in amazing snow. But we’ve already been here 2 weeks and if we don’t go now I feel like we’ll never leave. We could easily be here till June and not blink an eye. Plus a wise friend so poignantly told us this morning, “you know you guys are leaving one vacation for another vacation, right?” Yes, we feel silly.
It’s going to be a bit before we get back into the groove of things. There is not this immediate “yay we’re back in the RV”. It’s more like a ok, wow, back in the RV. Everything moving and shifting around as we drive through the neighborhood. ISABELLA… LOCK the FRIDGE. Is the fridge locked? Quick, go lock it. Ok everyone, we know we’d all like to be skiing today or back at the house but…we’re going…we’re off.
Oh and this was Edwin’s fortune at Chinese tonight.
It was a long drive to King’s Canyon National Park. 19th National Park.
It was dark and late when we arrived at King’s Canyon after we stopped for dinner along the way. The hours of being in the car and the uncertainty of the trip creeping into all of our thoughts was almost immediately wiped away after driving by a giant Sequoia. Pretty incredible. Then going outside. Smelling the air, breathing it in. And looking up at the dark sky. The stars are amazing tonight. There’s not a huge sky because we are camping in a grove of giant trees around us, but the sky was so dark the contrast of the stars were amazing.
We were just up in Truckee, not too different of a place, but very different energy being an RV than a house. There is one tent camper on the other side of the only campground in the park. We are essentially camping alone in this giant national park. It’s nice to be on the road again.
Oh, and…
