I'm about to head back to Africa for 3 weeks. Sao Tome (on the equator, with coffee & chocolate!), then Angola (with camping in remote tribal regions). Finishing up my African former Portuguese colonies (2 years since the Mozambique incident!) bingo card!
Beginning of August i'm driving out to Kansas to help my son move for grad school (then flying back). Its been over 20 years since I last drove (half) cross country, and its going to be weird in many ways.
End of August, I'm flying out to Colorado Springs for a long weekend wedding.
When it's TOO hot in DVNP, it's also too hot in Mesquite. We leave soon for the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Banff and Craters of the Moon. We had to cut Jasper and make sure we reenter the US before 31 July. The CDC changed rules on dogs entering/reentering the country effective 1 Aug. Our dogs are good, just no time to comply with the paperwork. Had my wife not caught it in time, I'm sure me and the pups would have been doing a southbound PCT hike. Once back home the older grandkids fly in to visit, so we will explore something, somewhere, but not in DVNP. Then I hitch my luxury micro camper to one of the Jeeps and head to someplace called Indiana for a rally. When my schedule frees up mid/late Sept I hope to start exploring some of the pins I've put in the map lately. I've been using my free time to hone my search/Google Earth skills and have tracked down some really cool stuff. If it's ever been on You Tube, I've probably found it on Google Earth. I'm hoping to get more time exploring with my grandkids later this year. One of them told me the only thing they want when I die is my Gaia account.
