Yep, We're on the Road Again!

Well, it's so long since we were moving that I've almost forgotten how to do the before-it-moves RV check. Everything stowed? Everything tied down? Everything disconnected? Drawers and doors closed? Vents and windows closed? Everything in a safe place? Everything locked in?

Here we are, ready to roll again.

For the first time since we left Montana, Chorro and I will not be alone in our travels. My son, granddaughter and their dog will be with us. I'm excited to have some company and Chorro is thrilled to be sharing his favorite sleeping spot (my bed) with Xena. The rest of the family will travel by car and it looks like Christmas is going to Georgia with us.

We're heading east to Georgia this morning under gorgeous blue sunny skies and a crispness in the air that I would have called "fall" back in Montana.

Before I left Montana I went to my local Verizon store to get an air-card to connect my computer to the internet. To insure a good connection, I also bought an antenna and amplifier. Unfortunately, I had the wrong connector between aircard and amplifier and so I have been searching for a Verizon store or a Radio Shack or similar store to find the right one. Most sales people have not even heard about antennas and amplifiers, but one day someone told me I should check at a truck stop, since truckers used the amplifiers.

So today when we stopped at a truck stop to fill up, I checked. Can you believe they had the *right* connector for my air card? Wow, what a great find! Now I can upload pictures for my blog more quickly (I hope).

We're covering many miles today. East through Mississippi and then on through Alabama and all the way over to Georgia. Three states!

Sharing the driving time made it sooooo much easier (not to mention safer) to get some pictures along the way.

If this isn't Porcupine Butte, it should be.

And here we are going over the tail end of the Appalachian Mountains.

But before we finally arrive in Georgia,

Alabama leaves her last impression to all who travel through.

Still later, about six in the evening, the Atlanta skyline appeared.

That golden dome below would be the state capital. .

And the Georgia architecture takes on a golden glow as the evening darkens and lights come on.

We left Mississippi at 9 this morning and arrived here at 6 this evening. This has been a very long day for all of us and it's time to take an evening break; relax, eat some good food, visit, and rest.

And tomorrow is a new day.
