Be Beary Careful Out There Today / by Dave Hileman

Katmai National Park

Thus ends 2022. For Two Lane Touring it was a mixed bag indeed. There was a new post every day of the year, although a couple were late in the day because someone in our vast staff forgot to change the PM to AM. Still over 600 photos and more than 365 posts. The first trip ended prematurely when our electric system melted while in Texas. We had to abort the trip, return to the Oliver factory and leave the trailer to have extensive work done. Once we picked the repaired trailer up we toured for two weeks in Kentucky (two new parks) and Tennessee. We were also able to take a short trip to the Outer Banks, two weeks in Pennsylvania and the nation’s newest National Park, New River Gorge. A trip to Florida for a wedding was extra special. We also completed the plans begun in 2019 before Covid hit for a two week trip to Hawaii. This was our last state to visit and we spent time on three islands and saw 6 parks. Once home we did a trip to Florida for Disney with friends and a short stint at a VRBO in the Blue Ridge with good friends with photography in mind.

2023 plans Monday.
