Rain Rain... Go away October 3

So far.. No severe weather.. Yay!  But tomorrow promises sun.. So I will stay.. Lots of chores done.. Walked the dogs.. Walked myself..Laundry.. A bit of shopping..needed a poncho.. Tried to clean in this little space...a good day to relax.. And gear up for the next 2 hit the road days...really like this state park.. They seemed to love Halloween!

Kentucky. Unbridled spirit

Left the winery at 6:30 this morning... Hoping to beat some heavy traffic...not! Does anyone sleep in??  And they wanted to get there right NOW!  Crazy people!  Lots of hills around Cinci.. Glad it was dark!  That way i didn't have to shut my eyes....😳

Finally found 75 South.  More crazy fast drivers.. But just made some rest area pit stops..doing good.. Even the pups are behaving. Camping tonight at Fort Boonesborough State Park.. Really nice! Electricity!!!! Yay!  Last night I felt like a mountain woman!!..we sure are spoiled these days!

Learning a few things along the way...

Manicures and camping don't mix.  Stay in the slow lane..  There's gonna be some tight places. But I can handle them.. So can the buggy.  Carry headache meds.. Had to buy! Bring more plastic bags.. LOTS more.. And some twisty ties...AND... Like Phil says...enjoy the journey along with the destination! Yep. Supposed to rain like crazy tomorrow here.. Think I stay an extra night. Still ahead of schedule.

 

October 1, 2014

So.... Drive all day...took a wrong turn before I even left the New Haven area.. DOH! But... Though highway 27 is mostly 2 lanes.. And Smartypants GPS girl took me where I've never been.. And probably won't ever find that route EVER again... Not even for $$.... It was nice.  I got to pull over often for the pups... And practice downshifting thru the hills... Not much traffic either.. Except for the few miles I ventured on.. Too many trucks. Too fast... Yuk.. Me no like that part. Somehow... I finally crossed into Ohio... Have no clue where...snorting...I saw a winery sign... Awesome! Just a ways off the beaten path...  Its gorgeous here...I politely asked if i could spent the night.. They said not usually.. But they are so nice. No charge...   So guess what I bought!  Yumm. The chef even looked at my map and

gave me some good directions for morning.  Would like to avoid Cincinnati.  Avoided Dayton cuz I was LOST... Yay!!

Ohio fun

New buggy

Lots of changes these days.  Bought a shorter rig... And LOVE it.  1992 Clarion Coachman.  23'. Awesome ride.  The sweet lady I help care for is heading to Florida in October.... SOOO I've decided to head to Georgia to visit some special people.  I'm a bit nervous... But I'm forging ahead. Bought new tires.  Been practicing the driving with my pups.  All is cool.  Went to Ohio overnight a few weeks ago. Went well... Even with a number of detours.  Recently joined a bunch of cool facebook RV sites.  So many good people out there.. Learning a lot.  A lot to learn.. RV AAA set. And just signed up for Passport.  I have learned one thing these past few years... One split second can change one's life forever....got me some fun to live....

will update as I go.. 

Maiden voyage....

So it was 80 miles from home.. But one has to start somewhere!  Right?  I think the dogs aren't minding this new adventure at all.  In fact, they're tuckered from the long walk..

Four of my really great friends met me at the campsite earlier.  They brought food! Yay!  I just got to focus on the rig.  Lots to learn...THIS is awesome!  Yay!!!

Here we go!

Have had her a whole day!!  Working the weekend...come Monday..I get to start preparing for some fun on the road!!
