Were in Kentucky

Made the trip from Alabama to Kentucky today. Don't like the weather. It's cold, 39 degrees. Now if we just left Michigan and was heading south I would think it was good, but leaving the 80's and heading north it's BURRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!! Oh well, I might as well get over it, as it will be this way for a few weeks.

The drive was good. Traffic was not bad and no unexpected surprises or difficulties along the way. Light rain and drizzle most of the way.

We are at Singing Hills RV Park by Glasgow, Kentucky. Going to visit with my niece Whitney and her husband Jake this evening. The RV park is nice, but all dirt roads and pads. I like this kind of park better than the all cement ones. More rustic and you can even have a camp fire at your site. Walked around this afternoon and met another couple from Grand Rapids, Michigan on their way back from Florida.

We stopped at a fudge shoppe and I bought way to much fudge, even though we went and ate first. Would have hated to see how much I would have bought if I hadn't ate first. (You noticed I said "I" bought way to much.) Oh well, maybe the good fudge will keep my mind off the cold.

In Alabama

We left Wednesday morning for our trip north. The first day we traveled as far as Albany, Georgia and stayed at Chechaw State Park. The only problem we had, was when we got to Heehaw Junction a tire was low on the fifthwheel, so we filled at a truck stop and down the road we went. The traffic was light all day and skies were clear.

On Thursday morning we were getting everything ready to go and I noticed the tire was low again, so I took it off and we went to town and had it checked. Some where we picked up a small piece of steel. Had the tire removed from the rim and patched from the inside. All's good now and we went on to Tuscumbia, Alabama. Traffic was light except thru Birmingham, and it was terrible! We went right thru the middle of Birmingham, as that is the way the GPS said was best. I'm not going to argue with the GPS as it hasn't got me lost yet. (sometimes I wish it had the wheel though)

We will be here in Alabama for around a week.

Packing Day

Been here for a little over 3 months now and it is time to head back north. Will spend the day packing and leave early tomorrow morning.

The weather has been beautiful this winter down here and is in the 80's every day now. really hate to leave, but it will be to hot before long for me.

We will go as far as Georgia the first day. Spend the night there and to Alabama the next day. Spend a week in Alabama visiting Denise's kids . Then to Kentucky for a night to visit my niece Whitney and then to Indiana for a week to visit Denise's daughter and parents.

When we get to Michigan we will stop in Coldwater to to see my daughter Denim and family. Then to Manistee to get the the campgrounds ready for the season. Hopefully they will get rid of all the snow and the water will be unfroze by then.

Well that's our plan, will keep you all posted as we go.

Almost Moving Time

Well it's almost time to hook up and start heading north. The weather is beautiful and we haven't made anybody mad, it's just that time of year. The crappy fishing isn't that good but the gills are biting good. Really hate to leave Florida but, the weather will get to hot for me and the Matson's need the help up north. So it's Michigan bound in the next couple of weeks. Don't know for sure yet exactly when but soon.

Our trip to Michigan will take a while cause we will stop in Alabama for a week and then in Kentucky a day or two. Don't forget Indiana. I don't know for how long in Indiana yet. All depends on how long Michigan takes to get that white sh*t off the ground. Hope it don't take to long as we have a lot to do at Matson's.

Will let all know when we leave and start are way north.
