A little teaser

One of the features of blogspot is that it allows you to see what countries any visitors are from. Ten page views from Ireland lately. As I know no one there, sorry you got lost/took a wrong turn/was mis-directed on the information highway and ended up on this ole fools page. Hope you enjoyed the visit.

 For the others I thought I would post a teaser of planned stops for the upcoming journey. More detail for each location as we get there. But for now, a little preview tease.Have begun packing and organizing in earnest.

More progress

 Well after changing the oil in both vehicles it was time for a trial run. In our previous outing we had not towed a vehicle, but we will on this extended journey. Several items to accomplish this morning: me becoming comfortable with process of attaching the Jeep and pulling it. Mary driving the motor home for the first time and Mary relearning to drive a manual shift transmission again. She had driven one before but it had been 30 plus years. So after hooking up at home we drove over to the local community college campus. Their empty parking lot provided lots of space and opportunity to practice turns, stopping and starting, all that good stuff. After many hour preparing it was good to put it to use. And Mary did great. Got our dates and hours for Trenholm, reservations made, all we need to do now is pack.

One month and counting

 Well after back surgery, rehab and all the assorted delays, time is near. August 15th we begin a 3 plus months journey of discovery. We work for 2 and a half weeks or so in Montgomery Alabama then it is off to Florida. We will be in various locations in Florida till October 22 when we enter Georgia. We finish off October in Savannah then move to Charleston SC for November. Sometime in November we will turn for home in Texas to meet family obligations around Thanksgiving. Have been busy preparing our Jeep to become our toad. The last week before we leave will be filled with final packing and checking, double checking to insure we have close to what we need. Will be leaving in 100 degree temps and returning when there is a nip, and perhaps frost, in the air. RV only holds so much so pack wisely.
