School ended last Thursday. Summer vacation began for us on Friday and we departed for our around the country trip in our 2018 Flying Cloud 30 ft. Airstream. It’s a year of big changes. We sold our ranch in January. Our plan is to travel for a year while I homeschool the kids. We’re headed north so I can complete the July session of my Waldorf grades teacher training. Our first stop was Redding, California.

We hiked around Manzanita Lake at Lassen National Park. It’s difficult these days to take a normal photo of the kids because they always have to make their funny faces.

We arrived this afternoon at a RV park north of Klamath Falls near Crater Lake in Oregon. We’ve had a few snafus with trailer living. I learned tonight I cannot use the Instant Pot, microwave, while also having the AC on with the refrigerator and freezer running on electric power with 30 amps.

Tomorrow we’ll visit Crater Lake and a local train museum. Zoey and Zane have already made biker friends with a 6 year old boy and 9 year old girl in the RV park. We’ll spend 4 nights here and then on to Bend, Oregon.
