LESS THAN A WEEK TILL WE HIT THE ROAD AND HEAD NORTH

We've got a lot to do to get ready to go.  It's time to start making my lists.   

First off, I have picked out  a few campgrounds along our return route all spaced out around 300 to 400 miles apart.  We don't like to bite off more than that when we are hauling the trailer. 


By the time we get breakfast over, get packed up, put in 300 to 400 miles then set up camp again and get supper made that is a long enough day for us, and Sea-Enna.  We have purchased a "Thundershirt" for her, for the trip home.  They have been recommended by a number of dog owners in the park. 

They are supposed to calm nervous dogs and that is what we think she suffers from when we travel, so we figured it was worth a try.  We'll see. 
 
Next I have to make my packing lists.  What am I taking home and what am I leaving here.  Then transfer what we are taking home into the small trailer.  Including food and other supplies. 
 
Then we need the to-do list for closing up the Texas trailer for the Summer.  Putting reflective insulation in all the windows stowing things safely for the summer heat etc.
 
I also have to document our purchases and make a declaration document for the items I have to declare at the border. 
 
So there is lots to think of and do in the next week.
