Time To Head For Someplace Warm

It's ging to be -9C (15F) tonight and that's cold enough for us.  Time to be "on the road again," Texas - here we come.

The park's almost empty, most of our freinds left a couple of weeks ago, work is finished for the year, the forecast is for some snow, and despite my Nov. 1st goal, we're headed out in the morning.  The park has had to shut off the water becuase everything is frozen - so - Mother Nature Wins - Neal looses.

There aren't many of us left here.

The temps, all the way through the Dakota's look fairly cold so it might be a rather fast trip for the first couple of days.  Bernie's maxed out at about 10 hours.  At 10 hrs I'm just nicely warmed up and ready to rock.  Hmmm - this could be interesting..... 

We loaded up Smartie, and hooked up the rv today.  We even considered a few hours on the road tonight but decided it was wiser to get an early start and be safe.

All loaded, hitched up, and ready to go in the morning.  I know - I know -  the Freightliner is embarrassingly dirty but I got caught up in a snow storm a few days ago and it's too cold to wash her.
 
We'll spend a few days with freinds in Oklahoma city, where the forecast is for some nice warm days.  Our routine in OC is a lunch or dinner at Toby Keith's "I love this bar" and to catch some r&r before the drive to S. Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.  We have come to really enjoy our time there each year.  Thanks to our freinds we have found a nice place to stay and have uncovered all the services we need, and a place to wash the truck.

So I'll post more from the road.  I have no idea what I can say about 3 days on I29 South, but we'll try.

Stay well, be happy, thanks for stopping by, and please leave a comment when you can.

Neal and Bernie
