TD2 2022 Adventure - Alaska or Bust! - Part 1 - Visiting Family (NV, CA, WA)

 Hello folks,

You have received this blog post because you were on our list from 2021, or we thought you might be interested.  If you wish to be removed from future posts, no worries, just let me know.

Well, we bit the bullet and have started our 2022 Thistle Dew Too (TD2) Adventure known as Alaska or Bust!  Now some of you might question the wisdom of driving a 14,000+ lbs vehicle all the way to Alaska and back when gas prices are at an all time high, and you'd be right.  So, we may be changing the name of our adventure to Alaska AND Bust! 😱

In any case, we spent the first few weeks visiting and staying with family.  First is Carol's brother Dave who so graciously lets us park our RV at his home in Nevada.

Next up was a day's drive to Greg & Katherine's neighborhood where we were got to see them for the long weekend both in San Jose, CA, and at Katherine's family home in Napa, CA.

Then it was a 3-day drive to get to Alli & Noe's new apartment near Tacoma, WA.  Alli & Noe were married this spring, and just before their wedding, Alli got a new job, Noe was able to transfer his, and boom -- they're off to a new location to start their married life together.  We are so excited for them.

And no matter where we roam, we always like keep Thistle Dew Too's motto in mind:
