For the longest time, it was just a crazy dream. Someday, maybe, it might be possible to go to every Chicago Bears game for an entire season, all the home games, and all the away games. An Epic Season, following the Bears, traveling in the RV - but it was just a dream. That is, it was just a dream, until January 2013, when Bruce asked me if I'd go with him, to make that dream a reality. I could not pass up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- I agreed immediately! And now, in September of 2013, we are beginning on the amazing journey.
It's taken a lot of planning and preparation to reach this point. It was agonizing waiting for the schedule of games to come out. First came the list of this year's opponents - Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, St. Louis Rams, and Cleveland Browns, plus the usual games home and away versus the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Detroit Lions. Finally, the schedule was published, and we could reserve campgrounds and plan the itinerary. It's going to be epic!
From training camp all the way to the Superbowl, we will share this incredible journey with the readers. Check back for updates from the road and from home. GO BEARS!!!
