We woke up today at about 7. Great nights sleep in a Walmart parking lot. Quite pleased with the furnace, 28 degrees outside and 70 inside. I did drain all systems before leaving sticks and bricks.

In the daylight we saw a McDonald's, so Ruth headed in for 2 coffees and 2 egg McMuffins. Coffee was average and muffins sucked. Even Oscar would not eat them. Since nothing was set up last night, we put away a few things and hit the road.

When you see a construction sign that reads "Vehicles over 8' 6", get ready for some squeezes that will cause constipation. At 50 mph you really need to stay focused.

We arrived at our niece's about 4 to find the turn around at the end of a quarter mile one lane drive would be difficult for a lawn tractor! Tomorrow we get to unhook the toad and back in, then retook. Guess when I ask that question I should explain that if a tractor trailer can't make it, neither can we. I have attached a photo of one of the pleasures of retirement. Great to travel and see friends and family.

After a great meal I requested the use of Alicen's shower. Remember we are dry camping until we get to a warmer climate. After a few hours of catching up, we retired to Gracie, a turn on the electric blanket. No generator tonight, shore power available.

Tomorrow is just more visiting and getting to know the twins better.
