We're off!

 


After four years of being in one spot, which was never the plan, thank you covid, we are getting back on the road.  Our time in Georgia is done for awhile, we have things lined up to do west of the Mississippi for the next year.  Our time at Allatoona Lake in North Georgia has been fantastic and we are already anticipating our return but we are way behind on doing and seeing things that were planned years ago.  We're going to fix that right now.

Our intermediate goal is to get home to Livingston, Tx and take care of things that are best done in person such as vote, jury duty, vehicle inspections and so on.  But we'll take our time getting there.  We are only going to drive about 4 hours each day.  We are still trying to get our heads around our new "caravan" situation.  Cyndee in her vehicle pulling a small cargo trailer and me in the truck with our home on wheels.  We're learning as we go.  Just tonight we made sure that each of our navigation systems were on the same route.  That's never even been a thing before.  Nothing like heading down the road and getting separated then not seeing each other again until the destination.  I suppose one could do it that way but it is definitely not what we want to do.  We have been doing this long enough to know that stuff happens.  Neither of us wants to be stranded alone.

So tire pressures (all eighteen of them) have been optimized and everything is staged inside the camper for pulling in the slides in the morning.  Bird feeders, plants, camp chairs and a hundred other things have been put in the cargo trailer.  It is completely full.  In fact much fuller than we thought we could ever make it.  We have spent a solid week chipping away at getting things from a stationary mode to a travel mode.  But it is done, nothing left to do except pull in the slides, hitch up and go.

Look out Texas, here we come!
