The space we occupy in our 32-foot motorhome is about what the first voyagers will have on their seven-month journey to the Red Planet. Please d on’t laugh too hard at this silly-sounding thought. THE REASON I BRING THIS UP is that sometimes, mostly in the evening when the weather keeps Gail and me inside our motorhome, I find myself daydreaming that we are in a spaceship headed to Mars. In Death Valley, Calif., you can easily imagine being on Mars. With a Prime membership, watch it on Amazon Video. You may be able to stream episodes on the Nat Geo website.
If you missed the National Geographic Channel’s six-part series about the first settlers of Mars, try to see it. It’s fascinating. Oh, what I would give to go there, too ( or maybe I already did?). I am so envious of the guys who went to the Moon. If I would have lived during the early 1800s, and were aware of Lewis and Clark’s expeditions to the Pacific Coast, I would have begged to come along. No, actually, it makes me mad! I want to go! It drives me crazy that I will never get to go. I subscribe to an email newsletter called Mars Daily, which keeps me updated on the latest news about the Red Planet and planned manned missions. Both fueled my wanderlust - the same wanderlust that’s kept me on the road in an RV for much of three decades.

I loved the book The Martian and then the Martian movie starring Matt Damon. If I were half my age, I would have applied to be on the first mission. I’ve read four books about Mars in the last few weeks. This newsletter, now in its 16th year of continuous publication, is funded primarily through advertising and voluntary subscription contributions from our readers. Learn about RV camping, RV travel, RV news and much more.
