Winter Trip South 2013

Such a crappy trip south!!!!  Woke up on Friday, 12/20, to a quarter inch of ice on the moho.  Couldn't even walk on the slippery slope of a drive way.  Said had to finish loading and I struggled to keep my footing just to get inside to start the motor.  After lots of chipping and hacking, we started out on the well salted streets and highways. Things went well til we hit Indiana and had dense fog which slowed us down.  We spent the first night at a Cracker Barrel just south of Indianapolis.  After that it was three days of intense rain.  I mean INTENSE!!!  Slowing down to 35 on a 70 mph highway is not my favorite way to travel.  However, we enjoyed the slowly developing green grass and raising temps.  I do like above freezing temps.

We have a terrible leak from underneath.  The floor in front of the fridge was a pool of water.  Have to get that fixed.

We arrived at our destination, Ochlochonee State Park, and were warmly welcomed by our ranger friends, Jason and Robert.  What a wonderful place.  30 sites and forests and rivers and deer and . .  . Everything was fine until tucker nipped a kid.  CRAP!!!  I told Jason I was not comfortable being the host because KT doesn't like strange men carrying stuff and running kids.  I'll be staying at the ranger/volunteer compound which is a beautiful area, too.  I'm the only volunteer so I may get lonesome, but I will still be working in the campground so I'll still have contract with the campers.

King Tucker surely has changed our lives.  Seems like a lot of bad, but the good still wins out.  He's our sweet, wonderful dog and we'll just keep working with him.

Merry Christmas world!  Love to all.
