Just a short update. Received a call this morning that my MH was finished. Picked it up and ran down and had the propane tank filled. The wind was horrible! Had gusts up to 50 mph. So glad I'm not traveling today.
I'm now ready to pack. I've locked down my departure date to Monday, December 2nd, after all the holiday traffic has died down.
After studying the maps, I have decided to head straight south on I-55 and spend the first night somewhere near Memphis, TN. They are calling for a nice sunny day and only a low of 34 for the night.
The second day will get me to Tyler, TX in the evening to meet friends and spend the night there. After that I'm not sure what happens. Will plan that later.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm thankful that George is feeling better, eating better and enjoying a beer.
See you later.
I bet it feels good to be hitting the road again. Hope you have some real neat adventures this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. Going to have to build up some stamina after a year off. Looking forward the adventures.
DeleteI'm also one of the folks in rooting for George and Suzie. Maybe will have a needed healing power, at least it doesn't hurt. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteWe never know what positive thoughts can do. George is so positive it rubs off on me.
DeleteLike your fiery sunrise/sunset header photo. Nothing like a healthy dose of excitement mixed with a nice blend of sobering apprehension to steady one for the long and sometimes unknown journey ahead. All the best Doug and I'll be riding shotgun with ya:))
ReplyDeleteThank Al. I am extra excited after missing last winter. Hope to see new places and have new memories. Glad to have you along.
DeleteSounds like you have a good travel plan to get to the warmer weather quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see pictures of George smiling.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Dolly!
Safe Travels.
Happy Thanksgiving to you two. Heading straight south will be new for me and I'm going to like getting to warmer weather so soon.
DeleteThatll be quite the drive, but why not? Get ya where you want quickly. Smart move to wait until Monday. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you two. Hoping the holiday crowds will be gone Monday. First couple of days will be interstates so I can get used to driving again.
DeleteGlad you got your MH all fixed up and ready to go. Best wishes for a great winter trip, maybe tinged with a little envy! Gord.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year. I'm glad my next year came to be. I'm glad my MH told me something was wrong before getting on the road. Been a great MH so far. Hope Yuma adjusts to the rough life. Dolly has spoiled him.
DeleteYay! Travel safe, Doug. Yuma will be excited too. We hope our paths cross this winter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and Dolly. We have so much to be thankful for and this lifestyle of meeting new friends is one huge one.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bill. I'm not sure Yuma is going to like it the first couple days when at the end of the day he doesn't see home. Good health is something we all are thankful for. Hoping George gets stronger each day.
ReplyDeleteI hope Moonfly 13 is having a great Thanksgiving and will be following along with this winter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving !! Will definitely be following your adventures with Yuma this winter. Had to give up my wifi & internet - so will be using my phone cell data. My blogger profile won't match unless I get to library. ? But it is still me - LOL. Safe Travels Always. 🎃🍀😎
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you. I am glad to have you on board. Hoping I have enough energy this year to hike and travel and not just sit around. We will see.
DeleteLove the header photo.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are fixed and you are getting closer to heading out for the warmth of the desert again. I'm sure Yuma will be excited to head out and just as excited as ever to get reacquainted with the smells of the desert.
Happy Thanksgiving you and Dolly and the entire family.
Safe travels Doug!!!
Thank you. I hope Yuma hasn't gotten too spoiled sitting around the house to get out and do a little hiking. Looking forward to getting started.
