Homeless

The sale of our house closed on Thursday and we hit the road at 3:00 pm to start our journey south. It was hard to say goodbye to Stuart and Heajin. We stayed with them for the past several days since we moved the furniture out of the house.

We crossed the border at Windsor/Detroit. A quick crossing without much hassle. We drove through some rain, mist and a skiff of snow through Michigan and Ohio. We got as far as Lexington, Kentucky by 1:00 am Friday and pulled into a Walmart parking lot. It was only 27' F. So damn cold. We climbed into the trailer and got a few hours sleep. On the road again in the morning by 7:00 am. Our first night of being homeless and we had to sleep in a Walmart parking lot!!! Lol

The drive through the mountains of Kentucky is always pretty. A bit foggy this morning but still nice.

 

Moving down into Tennessee the sun starting to shine for the first time and the temperature rose above freezing making for a much nicer drive. The mountains of Tennessee are much higher than in Kentucky and the rock face is a different color.

 

 

Traffic was heavy in spots. We hit this in Georgia. Backed up for miles!!

 

 

We spent Friday night in a rest stop south of Lake City, Florida. It was about 60' that night so the sleep was much better. We arrived in our resort at 10:30 am on Saturday. A fast trip for sure. We made great time. John and Judy were here to welcome us to our winter home. We got set up and they were so kind as to provide lunch, dinner and drinks to the tired travelers. So wonderful to have our good friends waiting for us.

Today was getting organized and cleaned up after our trip. Get groceries and visit with all our neighbors that dropped by to say hi. Nice to see so many familiar faces again. Looking forward to another fun winter.

Until next time. - safe travels.
