AWOL

 Never fear, I am here. It’s just that I’m learning how to strike a balance between doing fun things to talk about, and taking the time to talk about them!  I will post something meaty, soon!

Our Travels Begin (Wait, What?)

Image
 I thought it might interest some people to see where we've been.  Although this trip started at the end of June, I didn't start this record until this month, October.  So, below, behold where Behemoth spent June/July. We started  from our home of the last year, Madison, Alabama.  (OK, technically, we started from a nearby Cabela's parking lot)  Madison taught us alot about life; bloom where you're planted, don't be judging, have fun when fun is available, and not all post offices are at all competent.  Being planted in Alabama helped us immensely in starting this trip.  We found a well kept and well priced RV and tow vehicle: had we been in another, more comfortable state, we would have had to travel to find them.  But, here they were, almost next door. And yet, at the end of our lease, it was time for other lessons, other fun, and other places.  It was time to roam. Our first adventure was simple.  We headed north to our son's, ne...

Global Climate Change

  When we started on this adventure, our plan was to stay in 70 degree weather (Fahrenheit, of course)  As we have traveled, we have run the air conditioner, and the furnace; obviously, not hitting our goal. This weekend, like the rest of the country, (except for California, which is an entity all its own) we have been FREEZING.  We're spending time in Huntsville, where the weather is as you see above.  I heard someone on the radio say, yesterday, that this was "a once in a lifetime weather event."  Typical, that it would happen in OUR lifetimes! The major concern is not, actually, being warm humans.  The biggest concern is the myriad of water lines in the Behemoth, and whether they will freeze, rupture, and eat up our emergency fund in repairs from water damage.  We planned ahead of time to head to the Midwest to visit family for Christmas.  Knowing that it would be too cold for her, we made arrangements to leave her a little south of Huntsville,...

Michigan Time

Image
We’ve been moving northward. We spent a week with good friends near Chelsea, MI We released a tiny turtle, still with an egg tooth, into the lake over which their house looks.  The turtle is to the right of that thumb. Told ya it was tiny! Flora More flora.  We then visited our oldest and his family near Bay City, MI.  While we were there, we took John V shopping for camping essentials, including orange slices.  We also took him to the USS Edson. More on that another time.  Today we went further north, over the Mackinac Bridge. We’ll be in the Upper Peninsula until mid-July.
