Welcome

Welcome to the "Davis Family Camping Trip" blog. We are nearing the start of a 2 week camping trip from Shelby, NC to Yellowstone National Park and back. We will be departing Friday June 19, 2009 and returning Sunday July 5, 2009. We have a 2008 Fleetwood Niagra pop-up camper that will be our home during our trip and are towing it with our 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. We are creating this blog so that family and friends can follow us on our journey.

We are being joined on this adventure by our good friends the Kittrell family. They will also be towing a pop-up camper. Together we have planned our itinerary over the last several months. Reservations are made and the route is planned. Final preparations for our trip (preparing menus, camper/truck maintenance, etc.) are underway. Both families are very excited about our upcoming adventure.

I do need to give credit to my cousin, C. V. Davis, who inspired us to plan this trip (and create this blog) with a cross country motorcycle trip he took last summer with his father. See his blog for details.
