First Day on the Road

Dear Ones,

I left KY this morning at about 11:30.  It has been one of the worst days of driving I have ever trudged my way through -- rain and fog from about midway south through the Commonwealth, with it all just getting worse as I came further south into TN.

I haven't, then, a nice picture to send you tonight.  But I am all warm and dry at the KOA in Sweetwater, TN.  Using this first stop to be sure everything in the buggy is working.  So far, so good.  Water works; no leaks.  Electricity works; no brown- or blackouts. I am also dewinterizing (sp?) the coach.   As I write, it is raining something furious.  But they have assured me in the office here that it's only a 40% probability of rain tomorrow.  We'll see....

Spent the last two hours or so listening to the UK Women's basketball game with Auburn.  Couldn't get the game on radio or internet, so Jen and I punted with her putting her phone next to the radio.  It worked!!  And those girls won AGAIN!!  Here's hoping they take the SEC this year.

Tomorrow, whatever the weather, I do expect to make it to GA.  I want to make this trip primarily a state parks journey, and High Falls State Park in Jackson, GA will be my first go at that.  Whether my lovely little mobile WiFi (or MiFi, as they say now) will work there remains to be seen -- it is splendid here at the KOA in Sweetwater.

I hope I might have a decent picture to post tomorrow.

For Julie, and Judy, our friends in the GREAT WHITE NORTH -- glad you love the cold and snow!  See you in spring when you join us in KY.

Love,
Joan
