CHECK IT OUT! The nomads have finally headed down the road! It was an uphill struggle, but we did it. Turned out to be a 'mindset' thing. We had to just convince ourselves that we'd done as much as we could manage and then just walk away. I fear we left a 'trail'.... :) Our poor son will have to follow along behind us and do the major things that can't be left undone. But, hey! That's why we had him in the first place, right??? LOL! That and so we'd get grandkids, of course!
The Big Bird seems to perform properly. Chugs right down the road, dragging that monster 5th wheel. We went across the elevator scales before we left, and THAT was scary! Somewhere, we packed on an extra 4000#!!! Too much crap, I guess! LOL! Of course, it must be HUBBIE'S stuff. Not the 4 sq. cu. feet of photos, negatives and albums.... Couldn't be the 2 huge Rubbermaid boxes full of quilting fabric.... Or the 3 1/2 cu. ft. of frozen food in the little freezer! We'll save a lot of cash on groceries this winter, but I fear we're paying for it at the pump! Takes $100 to fill the tank! We're working on calculating the fuel mileage right now....
So, we only got as far as Louisville, KY yesterday. Didn't 'get outa Dodge' until 2:30 in the afternoon! Got in here way after dark, but we knew where we were going to park, and how to get here, so it wasn't to difficult--and the traffic was a lot better than it woulda been earlier. After a 'lightning' visit with our good friends, we'll head out tomorrow morning. Got a reservation at a KOA in southern TN tomorrow nite, and friends coming out from Knoxville, with a pizza! :)
Tune later for pics and more, "On the Road Coverage".....
