We're Off! 
Friday, May 22, 2009, 04:50 PM - Driving
We spent the day cleaning and packing up the RV some more while we waited for UPS to show up with a package. It didn't arrive until about 5:45. I didn't get the house cleaned up (sorry Mary), but we were otherwise ready to go when the package arrived. We left at about 6:00, drove down 13 about 1 mile, then realized that we had forgotten Joe's wallet at the house. So, we had to head back to grab that, then we were off again! We are now heading through Jay Cooke State Park. We will be heading down I-35 until Hinckley, then taking 23 diagonally across MN until we reach I-90. Because of the late start, we'll have to find someplace to stay along the way.
So far, the cats are all doing great in the RV.

Attempt at getting new RV 
Sunday, April 6, 2008, 02:11 PM - Driving
So, as many of you know, Joe drove down to Florida with his mom to get a new RV. We want one of the Toyota models because they get much better gas mileage. Well, they stopped being made back in the early 90's. So, there are not that many out there, most of which are in Florida or California.

Joe found one we both liked, so he and his mom headed down there. After checking it over and buying it, the two of them checked out some neat stuff down there, then split up to work their own ways home. The next day, the RV broke down. So, Joe is currently stuck in/near Lake City, FL waiting to find out how long it will take for it to get fixed. Sounds like it's going to need a whole new engine. :p

So, there's a little update. I'll update this once we know more also.

Ishy Snow

We are almost home, but of course had to drive through the snow today... The roads actually aren't that bad... it's just a little nerve racking. Let's just say I'll be very happy when we pull into the driveway. Of course then the unpacking starts... :)

On the Road Again 
Monday, December 3, 2007, 04:48 PM - Driving
So, the guys fixing the RV this morning ended up breaking the fuel line while trying to get the fuel pump out, so the relatively easy, quick job turned into a few hours... Oh well, it's back up and running and we are back on the road heading towards home. The goal is to get to an RV park just north of Des Moines tonight. That will leave us with less than 400 miles to go to get home. :)
