Apr 22nd - Random Thoughts

I'm not doing much today. I may clean up the car and maybe even do some vacuuming in RV, but don't plan on much "work" other than that.

Since I am back down at the Dining Hall, to access the Internet, (things are very quiet here with no campers) I also intend on doing some research on Medicare plans. We have already started to get information. I received my Medicare card. It has an effective date of August 1st. I think Kathy's also came.

I'm also doing some research on our trip to Alaska. The distances are kind of mind boggling. From Rockaway Beach, Oregon, our next volunteer camp, it is well over 2,000 miles to Soldatna, Alaska, where we may also do some volunteering. For those familiar with my home town of Coldwater, Michigan; the length of the trip up to Soldatna (JUST ONE WAY) is similar to the ROUND TRIP distance Coldwater to Orlando, FL (Disney World), or the ROUND TRIP distance from Coldwater to Denver, Colorado. On the other hand it is only about 400 miles longer than our trip from Lindale, Texas to Drew's in Oakland, California.

Today's forecast high in Soldatna is a rainy 46 and the low forecast for tonight is 25. No reason to hurry up there because I don't like below freezing temperature while in the motorhome. Actually I don't care for temps below 40 degrees while in it. Arriving in Soldatna around June 1st looks about right, based on temperatures. Their average high/low on June 1st is 60/40. Also the record low after June 1st is 28 degrees.

Time to start researching. Have a great day and may God bless you and yours.
