Maiden Voyage
The First Trip in our new Intrigue
9 December 2003 - 23 February 2004
4491 Miles | 76 nights
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS: Our 2004 Country Coach
Intrigue was delivered to us in November and we couldn't wait to take her for a
test drive. On this trip, we learned how to operate all the new equipment on our
motorhome and learned how to get the satellite internet dish to work (most of
the time). We spent a lot of time in Palm Springs visiting with friends, went to
the Sun Bowl in El Paso, and spent two weeks camping in
Puerto Penasco, Mexico with my parents. We also experimented with
dry-camping in Death Valley National Park. We had many days
just relaxing and enjoying the warm sun while it was snowing at home. Below are
postcards from days we actually did something!
