Home Again

Yes, we are home.  The weather has been cool since we got home.  The difference between Florida and Ohio is that in Florida you look for a day when it will rain for the grass and in Ohio, you look for a day when the sun shines.  But we are home and the grass is mowed so nice and everything is in great shape thanks to my daughter and Terry.  Maybe we will just keep the house.  I like the setup now.  Went to a couple of meetings.  Antioch Shrine took in 51 new members on Sat and we had a nice York Rite College meeting on Wed.

On the road again

 

This is what the site looked like this morning as we left Frostproof

This is my retirement place and storage for the Summer for the Golf Cart

When we came into Valdosta GA, there was a terrible storm

This is also in Valdosta GA where we decided to spend the night.  It started to rain just above I-10 and then we had terrible storms.  Head for Macon and the pecan shop tomorrow.

Frostproof Florida

                                       Spent a day at this condo in Sanibel which Glen owns

 This is how my cement man works in Florida. He was putting in my porch

 for the shed where I sit and read

 Boogabilla flowers on our back fence.  They are beautiful

This is where I spend the winter.  In the back is the shed

that I had built.  There is a porch on the front where I sit

and read.  Rough life.

Time to head back North.  We will be leaving on the 21st of April. 

 We plan to stop at Al Sihah Shrine Campgroung in Macon for a couple of days.

4 Nov 2010

We are on the road again.  We are at the Tiffin Factory in Red Bay Alabama.  It is cool here, in the 60s so that is not to bad.  They had a nice rain and they said that they needed it bad.  We will head for Florida in a couple of days and then it will get warm.

 Thought this was an interesting place although it was not boring.

This is a Wal Mart that we stopped at on the way home

This is a campfire at Travelers Woods in Garrettsville, Ohio

This is the campground inside a large building.  What a way to camp.  This is an NCT campground.

This is the cast that conferred the degree, under the direction of Burch Zehner

These are the eight candidates that received the degree.

Heading Home

They have plenty of snow fences

Aug 30th and 31st
Left Welches Oregon on Mon morning and drove out of the Mt Hood area and onto I-84 heading East. We traveled 465 miles thru Oregon and Idaho and arrived at Mountain Home Idaho where we spent the night. We left Tues morning and drove thru Idaho, Utah and Wyoming on I-84 and then picked up I-80 and drove 434 miles to Rock Springs Wyoming where we will spend the night. Weather has been great. A few sprinkles with the temp around 70. The scenery thru the Rockies has been great.

Sept 1st (Wed)
Another beautiful day. Traveled thru Wyoming and Nebraska for a total of 481 miles, all on I-84. The wind was awful but the scenery was great. With these winds, it is no wonder that they need snow fences.

Sept 2nd (Thurs)
Another good day. We traveled 447 miles on I-80 thru Nebraska and Iowa. The wind was strong out of the North so it was a day's work. We are in Newton Iowa where we will spend the night.

Sept 3^rd and 4^th (Sat)

We are home.  We traveled in Iowa on I-80 to Davenport where we turned south on I-74 and headed for Indianapolis Indiana.  The wind was strong from the west so we got some bad gusts when we were going south.  It was nice when we were going east.  In fact, I got almost 11 mpg going east.  We traveled 425 miles on Friday and spent the night in Indianapolis.  We then got on I-70 and completed the last 147 miles on Saturday.  It was nice to head down Route 49 and then Route 35 into Beavercreek.  The miles for the total trip were 5,459 miles.
