On the way !!!!
We are mobile. The intent was to depart on the 28th at 5:00, which we came pretty close to. We pulled out of the lane at 5:07. The drive to St.Caterines was good but change after that point. From there to north of Columbus Ohio was snow covered roads, blowing snow and SLOW traffic. The max. temp was 19F. We managed to travel 790km ( about 495 miles). The campground in Columbus (Alton RV Park) was basic, but served the purpose of a place to sleep. The propane ran out during the night, so the moring in the main living area was cool (freezing) the bedroom area was ok as we have a small ceramic heater in there as well as the propane furnce and electric blanket ( pampered aren't we). I got the second propane tank turned on and all is well now. The has been a change to the travel plans already. Because yesterday was so long (12 hours) we decided to bypass Pigen Forge TN and went on to Nashville. The campgroung here is very full (Nashville Country RV Park). The snow is miles behind and the temp is 37F. I got the truck and trailer washed in Louisville ( $55.00) so until the freezing rain comes tomorrow morning ...they say there's a chance...the unit is clean and spiffy. Tomorrow being the 30th, should find us in Troy Alabama, our "home" for 3-4 weeks. I hope the internet reception gthere is better than last year

Glad to hear you got away, and made it safely through all the blowing snow, and cold temperatures. It's really C-O-L-D here at the moment, so enjoy the warmer temps in Alabama.
