The next three nights were spent in various Wal-Mart parking lots, using our solar setup. I was driving Scooby (our new-to-us pickup truck) behind Stu, using our CB's for communication. It worked out well but we both tired more quickly than we anticipated. It's been years since I've driven much, plus this was the first time we have done the entire stretch between the two states. Every other trip has been broken up by a stay in Tennessee.
The next two weeks will be hectic, getting ready for Stu's surgery. He has several doctor appointments to get done, some repairs to the rig and other miscellaneous preparations. Then factor in taxes...oh yeah, they won't wait. Sigh...
So don't know how much I will be blogging but I will keep everyone updated as things progress...or if anything particularly interesting occurs. LOL!
One last thing...I know the Verizon MiFi is popular with RVers. I suggest you all read this blog post as well as pass it along to your family/friends to read.
Okay, one more last thing...my good friend Karen [fabgrandma] is in the running for best grandmother blog. Please stop by and vote for her DAILY through March 21st. Thank you!
Till next time - keep on rollin',
Donna and Stu

Hope all goes well with Stu's knee surgery. Good y'all had a safe trip and hate we missed y'all. Your 3rd stop looked like it was in our back yard. We are about 15 miles from Forsyth, GA. See ya down the road.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe
Tell Stu good luck on the knee surgery. I know how that feels as I have had both of mine replaced. Feels so good not to have pain anymore. Only problem is you can's kneel on them, but I have found a way around that. You can read my blog for Dec of 09 and Dec10. I blogged about the experiance.
ReplyDeleteOuch, driving & keeping those knees bent had to hurt after a few hours. Or even from the beginning! Glad ya'll made it back safely. I didn't know that Sadie had a blog - too cute!
ReplyDeleteMcGyver drove 5 1/2 hours yesterday, and he feels it...That knee surgery won't be fun, but well worth it!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the surgery.
ReplyDeleteWe, too, find we are just not up to those long drives anymore. One or two days of it really turns on us. But sometimes they are simply necessary.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the surgery.
I see you chose the scenic route rather than travel up I-95. There is certainly nothing wrong with Tennessee, is there? I always loved stopping by the old Civil War battle sites. I'd love to know what lies beneath those sacred grounds. Unfortunately (and for good reason)treasure hunting is not allowed.
