Winter in Texas Day One

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Wow, thatsa boring title. Accurate, but boring.
East Tennessee isn’t Chicago when it comes to winters, but it’s still cool and cloudy and rains a lot. So we planned to take off after Christmas and head south. We have the month of January reserved at Gulf Waters RV Resort in Port Aransas, TX. This place is top of the line and beachfront on the gulf.

So we left today, December 28. Carol had to get her allergy shots and go to Food City for groceries. I closed up the bus and went to Pilot for fuel. Carol met me there and we put away the groceries, made some “eat in our laps” lunch, hooked up the Jeep and headed down the road.

Traffic SUCKED. It had been raining for the last 24 hours, and still kinda was. Lotsa people on the highway going into Knoxville, and even more on the westside heading out. I75 south had it’s moments too. It sure was nice to be on the road again. The new coach handles like a dream. Smooth. Quiet. Comfortable.

The clouds are just breaking up!

Welcome to Alabama 

 

Anyway, we got rolling out of pilot at 1pm, drove through Chattanooga, across a piece of Georgia, and into Alabama.
We ended up at the Mills Creek RV Park, in Fort Payne, Georgia. It’s a nice lil place, nuttin special but clean and decent, full hookups and pullthrough site so I didn’t have to unhook the Jeep.

Dinner was Delicious. Carol whipped up delecious garlic steak bites, and I made a salad.
Tomorrow, we’ll continue south and west. Still not sure if I want to go through “The Big Easy” or not. I’ve never been there, but it might be fun. On the other hand, I hate big cities, especially driving this bus through them. Maybe Biloxi?
Regardless, either is more than a day’s run.
