GMC Motor Home, Travel with Teri and Dan

And The Rain Came

Had the weather channel on most of the morning wondering where the rain was. Well, about 1pm it showed up and is still raining at 530 pm. The radar showed the rain right down 67 to 30, completely covering our escape route through Arkansas. Was glad we waited. It is supposed to be cooler tomorrow, as it dries up, then warmer on Wednesday. The daylight temps don't concern me as much as the night time coolness. I hate having to run heat all night in the GMC just to keep from having our water freeze. By waiting until Wednesday the weather is supposed to have  night time temps in the upper 30s and low 40s across our route in Texas. That is what I am looking for. We have plenty of heat if we need it but I just wanted to wait for warmer temps. We may pick up a few geocaches as we travel. By giving ourselves 3 days to travel 1400 miles we will have time to make a few stops.
Hey, listen to this. Saturday evening we are over at our daughter's having Christmas. Open the door at the other end of a long hall, coming from their garage. I am sitting where I can see and think it is our son in law's dad. I turn my attention back to the kids. The guy gets right up close to me and and my son in law Chris. I turn around, complete stranger. I make a comment to him and he acts a bit stunned. He is holding an un opened beer and what looked like a stick of wood. I am still thinking it might be one of Chris' friends but the beer bothers me a liitle. Then I hear Chris say, "can I help you?". Wow, Up Chris Jumps up, the guy is stuttering something about the Taylor's house. This guy came through the garage and into the house like he owned it. I am telling you I don't know who's eyes were the biggest, the intruder or Chris'. The guy had obviously walked into the wrong house, but how in the world could he have confused himself so much? I am thinking the beer he had drank before he showed up. He is lucky he came into this house or he might not have left alive. Chris escorted him out as the guy was apologizing. Wow. I think our daughter's garage door will remain locked from now on. Everyone seemed to have learned a valuable lesson Saturday night. The guy was lucky 7 year old Colsyn, the deerslayer, was not carrying his deer rifle, ha. We had several good laughs afterward but at the moment things were a bit tense.
We did more work today around here and in the coach. All will be finished tomorrow at this time so we can jump in and roll first thing Wednesday morning. I don't want anything left to do.
Don't forget the tracker at the top of the page. Here is the link:

You can play around with the map and the times. Don't forget my license. It is WD0AFQ. ZERO after D and before A. You may have to enter it back in if you move the map around. It goes in the blank on the right side of the page.
Catch you on the road.
