Moving Right Along

Oh yea, we are getting closer to launch. Teri worked in the motorhome today. She got all clean bedding on the bed and we put the insulation up in the windows. We will finish straightening up the living area and be all ready to hit the road. Maybe tomorrow afternoon will be a good time for that.
We have started watching the weather, looking for a good departure date. Today may have been the best we will see for a while. Looks like it is going to be cold here all next week. I hate driving in the cold but we are heading south and west so hopefully it will warm up by the time we hit Little Rock. Sunny days through Texas is what I am looking for. We cross into Texas at Texarkana and get out of it just west of El Paso. That is about 800 miles. I like it. All good roads and driving conditions are great. The only hicup in the whole trip is the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. If we take off over the Christmas weekend maybe there will be very little traffic there. We want to take longer traveling this time, if the weather permits. Normally we drive 1400 miles in 2 days when in the coach, one day in the car. It is hard for me to stop when we are in the GMC. It rides and drives so good. We will just see how things go when we hit the road. Our good friends Glynna and Russ are fulltiming in the Sweetwater area. We may stop and spend a day with them if it works out.
So, keep checking on us. We will be on the road soon. I have the tracker in the GMC set up and working. Will take plenty of spare parts just in case it stops. We can always run the one in the car if we need to. I will let you know what call sign we will use before we take off so you can ride along with us.
Have a great Sunday.
Dan
