The Cosmic Muffin Rides Again

Finally her wheels started turning in a bit of a snow flurry on March 9th almost a year to the day when we started our trip north last March. Nothing new for this winter but we were itching to get started on our new adventure..... IOWA! hey it's right in the middle and with a totally bicoastal lifestyle it sounded good to me when I bought a 100 + year old church last September.
We just mosied south hoping for a stop in Bend Or. to visit friends(too much snow) and maybe Tahoe (too much snow) but did spend a few days in Redding Ca. thanks to Tom and Brenda's hopitality we not only took a day trip up to Burney to see Dick and Joannes home finished while Brenda watched Ariel... we got all the stuff that was worn out on the Muffin checked out including a leak test(very important after a winter on the Hood Canal in Wa) at their shop,Northern Trailer Supply.
We will miss our friends in Port Townsend so much but it was time to dry out the Muffin and visit family.
We have had an awesome year even tho' things don't always go as you'd hoped. Anytime we can be in the NW is a blessing and soon we will be testing new waters (fresh)
Our first day on the road from Mom and Dad's winter digs in Az was great, very little wind and blue skies. We always have and always will have that unquenchable "travelin' jones".
The cool thing about this time is we got to see the kids in San Diego and instead of "cya sometime" to mom and dad, it was see ya in a couple of weeks when you get to Iowa.
You won't believe who all is planning to visit and hopefully help with the project...!!!????
All will be revealed soon.
