Rearview Mirror

The motorhome is in motion, the Pups are settled on the sofa, I’m in the navigator chair mulling over maps, and Jan is cruising in the captain’s chair--Motoring Across America 2011 has begun!

We’ve spent the last several weeks (maybe months) in “P&P&P mode” (pondering, planning, and prepping, that is). Our Island home is hurricane ready and under the watchful eye of friend, Jan. We left Neighbor Bill in charge of Date Street. The rest of Pine Island will have to fend for itself!

After much deliberation, we traded our old faithful coach BALY (Big A** Land Yacht) for BERT (Big Expensive Road Traveler). She’s a beauty...long and wide, a resort on wheels but also a mobile productivity center. She strolls down the highway with style and panache!

Saturday, June 4: Heading North

At 10:30 in the morning our road trip started. Jan piloted BERT through the gates of the Lazydays dealership and onto Interstate 75 North. Warm and sunny--a pleasant way on a perfect day to start this year’s discovery journey. At Tifton, Georgia, we turned west on US 82, a flat and smooth four-lane road. Gorgeous green farmlands and fields complete with grazing cattle and horses. At Montgomery, Alabama, Jan turned BERT north on I-65. After a 500-mile day, we spent the night at Dandy’s RV Park and Sales, just off I-65 on the outskirts of Clanton.

Pups Across America

While at Auntie’s in Apopka, right before launch, I had the chance to take a few pup pics. Here is an image of Jessie Jane and one with her family...what a cutie she is. Also, here is a shot of her best friend, Chief. Finally I have a shot of both Jerry and Mitzy.
