Launch day + 4: logbook setup and introduction of crew and equipment.
These are the voyages of the EDGE, its 4-month mission to explore western North America, to seek out scenic places and interesting people, to leisurely go wherever the spirit leads.
EDGE is a travel trailer, a 2010 EDGE M21 by Heartland, to be exact. Our crew includes Mike, pilot/engineer; Trish, navigator/copilot; Ranger, PR manager/security chief. The tow rig is a 2009 Toyota Tacoma crew cab Pre Runner pickup. Equipment pictures are above; crew pictures will be in a later posting.
We launch on May 31st from Lake Havasu City, AZ, and will log about 15000 miles. Our northernmost destination is Fairbanks.
This is the opening logbook entry and introduction to crew and equipment: pretty boring stuff at this point but I promise it will get better so check back later.
It is interesting that you view your first name as primarily used by the opposite sex. My parents names were dad Marion and mom Frances. In my formative years I thought that their names should be reversed.
ReplyDeleteConsider that Marion is a derivative of Mary and the following males with the name of Francis:
Sir Francis Drake
Saint Francis of Assisi
Sir Francis Bacon
Francis Ford Coppola
Sir Francis Galton
Francis Scott Key
Francis Hopkinson
Francis Lewis
Francis Lightfoot Lee
The above list is not all inclusive and does not even include Francis the talking mule.
