April 10 Update

Seven weeks to go! It's getting down to the wire, and that's both exciting and stressful. I'm writing this blog post after booking my last campsite, so it's nice to have that done. A lot of campsites will be walk-up, but for the ones that require a reservation, it's nice to know they're all booked. I've also finalized my itinerary, with planned stops each day and scheduled campsites. Honestly, my only worry right now is mostly financial, though I'm sure God will carry me through. I've got some savings built up for expenses on the road, but not as much as I was hoping to have by now. With the warmer weather coming in, I'll try to DoorDash more, that's a great way to build some extra cash-on-hand, as well as take up a couple more shifts at work. I am planning to DoorDash on the road, so that should help tread water and slow down the spending trend over the summer. Either way, I know God's got me, I just want to make sure I'm putting in my efforts for Him to multiply. Other than cramming for cash, other next steps include moving things into storage for the summer, as well as finalizing the van build; mostly just shelving and storage at this point, which should get going here again with the nicer weather to be outside working. In relation to my last post, I did get the bikes figured out, we're going with a roof rack! I think that'll be the best option to keep the bikes secure and out of the way. Don't plan on going too crazy off road, but didn't want to hurt departure angle anymore with a hitch rack and it's nice having the bikes out of the van so I can have some chill space and not be too cluttered.

See ya in the next update! God bless you :)
