On the Road

Well we left Michigan on Friday about 9am. The first thing that went wrong was we hit a snow storm in Fremont IN and did not get out of it until we got pass Fort Wayne IN. Then we had rain and snow and rain until we got too Marshall IL. We stay in a State Park there. Now let me tell you that you can get a Four Wheel Drive Truck stuck. $150.00 later and two hours we finally park it. Pictures to follow later.

Storm

Well its Sunday and we have about a foot of snow that fell over night. As you can see I was doing that thing they call up here in the north shoveling.The bad thing about this it is not over yet.

Winter

Looks like we are in for another storm again. It seems like every weekend there is a storm coming thur here. Still looking for a good used truck but no luck yet. I hope there is no storm on the 28th so we can get out of here. Have not done much lately, just trying to stay warm. Lois and I are going to see a Elvis impersonator tonight in Kalamazoo. Lois won the tickets on the local radio station the other day.

Winter

Just read Greg & Judy blog and yes we did get some bad weather up here last nite. Rain, sleet, snow and cold. When we got up it was warmer than when we went to bed. Its already melting, should be about 43 degrees today.
Most of Saturday was on the Internet looking for a truck. Have not found one yet but seen a couple that look interesting.
Well that about all that happen Saturday. Until I write again you all have a nice warm day.

At Home

Well we are still here in cold Michigan, but its getting closer to time to leave. Thursday went to a car auction with a friend of mind looking for a truck, no luck this time. Going back next Thursday to see if I can find one. Its was first time to one and it was a blast, you can get some good deals. My buddy bought a couple of 4 wheelers (new ones) cheap.
Lois and I went to Grand Rapids on Friday to get a couple of things from Camping World. We than just drove around looking at dealers for a truck (no luck yet).
We are expecting a winter storm Saturday sometime (1 to 4 in.) but by Sunday it should be gone cause the warm coming in.

Still

Well its been a few days since I updated this blog, but there really hasn't been much to tell. Just finishing up the bathroom we redid. The weather is getting colder here everyday, need to get to a warmer place soon. Our High School football team made to the semi finals but loss in a close game. The kids give it all they had and then some. Well till the next time I update, all be safe and healthy.

Working at Home

Well we have been home for a week now and I'm ready to hit the road already. We had to fix the floor around the stool in our small bathroom. The stool had a leak so I replace the stool and Lois wants to replace the vanity and tub. Nothing much going on here, but cold weather. Our High School football team is in the finals, they have not lost a game this year. They need to win two (2) more game before they can go to the state.
Lois is working on getting everything ready so we can leave at the end of December for Texas for the rest of the winter. I'm trying to get things done also before we leave. We are going out to diner with a couple of friends that we have not seen for a while. Well till I have more to tell everyone I will stop for now. Ron & Lois

Home

Well we made back home, it only took about an hour. Got the trailer wash and blew out the lines and empty the fresh water tank. We will be here for about 8 weeks till we get lose ends tie up. Then we are going where it is warm. Ron & Lois

All Most Home

Not much going on today just getting ready to pull out of here and head north.

10-30-07

Left this morning at 8:30 am, it was foggy by by the time we got to highway 65 it was sunny and 66 degrees. Mittens isn't doing the travel thing very well. Had to stop and put her in the bathroom in her cage. All she wants to do is cry. Arrived at Woods & Waters campground in Columbus IN. about 3pm but lost an hour going north, now we are in eastern time zone. It seems that the further north we go the gas prices keep going up. Lois and I drove thru Brown County State Park and I got to say that is a place you have to see. It was a beautiful sight to see.

Sight Seeing

Well we have done nothing but drive around Nashville. On Saturday went to the Hermitage, it was real interesting to visit (Thanks Greg & Judy). Today just drove all over looking at difference things. Till next time have a great day.
