RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Monday, October 27, 2003: Departure date? Did I say, "Departure date?" I knew better, of course. We re-set the date for Wednesday--and then the wind began to howl. Gusts to 50mph tend to slow down the sorting and packing outdoors! We got the truck camper emptied and winterized, the motorcycle into storage, the stuff out of the storage shed and sorted--but jacking the camper up off the ton truck, pulling the ton truck out from under, then backing the other truck in underneath the camper and cranking it back down??? Not in that much wind!!! And then the horizontal rain started. And now the weather geeks are telling us it's gonna snow and blow hard all week--and then get really cold! :( We're not likely to get to IL on Friday....In other news--it's looking like we'll be in Florida before Christmas. Keith's construction buddy says that's where the work is--and his wife's son has an RV hookup in her fenced in back yard--which she'll rent for cheap. Neither of us can work up much enthusiasm for Florida in the winter, but having a steady income is important....If an accident should happen and we actually make it home this week, then the following week we have to head for Louisville before the weekend! Pam's got really good passes for the Fall Meet at Churcill Downs! And our friend Scott is flying in from CT--and we haven't seen him since Linda (his wife and one of my best friends) was killed over a year ago. Good thing we're "mobile"! And now, back to organizing the piles of stuff we carted into the RV this morning....I've filled the basement, so I'm going to have to get creative!
