It's a week before I leave for my winter trip to the southwest. I sure hope for a better journey than last year which only got as far as the rally at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion, VA.
I have survived my annual checkups with various doctors and am ready to go. While we had wonderful weather (dry & in the mid 80's) last week, this weekend has been cold & wet. I have printed out my 4 page check list for packing the trailer, but haven't started yet.
October 13, 2023
I'm about 80% packed (well, the trailer, not me). Most of what is left to do is stuff I still I use every day so I can't pack it until I leave on Monday. I spent most of the day clearing out the raised bed garden, cutting back the butterfly bush & other clean up chores necessary before winter. A little early, but I don't plan to be here much longer. I also made a cake for my son's birthday. We are a week early, but again, I'll be gone by the time it rolls around.
October 16, 2023
The truck is packed and I'm ready to start the first link of the trip - as usual, the Guido's house in Binghamton, NY. Starting mileage on the truck is 65,923.6, 45,476.65 on the trailer. I keep a spreadsheet of trip mileage, fuel & campground costs (I don't include food since I'd be buying that at home) and if I manage to remember to update it I'll have some statistics to post at the end of the trip.
Until Tomorrow -
