Heading cross country for our Grandson's birth!

Yes. you read correctly. Although the longest trip to date was less than 50 miles driving home from the dealership and we managed to put her in a ditch on a 10 mile trip, we are now heading across the country to Las Vegas for the birth of our Grandson. Packing up the RV, getting everything taken care of at the brick and mortar, watching and re watching sever class A driving instruction videos we took off. Severe storms were forecast-ed for the next day so we only traveled about 4 hours and stopped overnight in Tallahassee.  We found a Walmart/Bass Pro Shop parking lot and set up to hopefully miss the line of storms headed our way. 4other RV's joined us for the night.




Yes we are finally on the road.Willie IV here we come!

Super Cool Bass Pro Shop. Huge aquarium and other displays.

We moved over in the parking lot behind this fifth wheel to be more level
 and out of the way. Lady traveling with her dog to volunteer at a Park in Georgia.

Stopping in Tallahassee served us well as the storms diminished to just a line of thundershowers where further west in Pensacola there were tornadoes that wiped out a couple of RV Parks and in Louisiana several tornadoes that cost lives.We were indeed Blessed! We took off heading west again and navigated through Mobile Alabama without going through the tunnel ( we were lead to understand that since we carry a good size tank of propane that tunnels are a no- no.) We made it all the way to a Louisiana rest stop with 24 hr security, free coffee and WiFi for the night.

Great Rest stop where we spent night 2 on our travels. Great staff and pretty good free coffee also.
