Preparing For Travel

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 65 degrees, high 95 degrees, clear skies

We will be leaving here in the morning on our way to Florida to visit family. That meant we had the usual things to do to get ready to hit the road after sitting in one place for the last two months. Cabinets were straightened, loose items were put away, the basement was straightened (one more time), holding tanks were dumped, tire pressure checked, fluid levels checked on the truck....... We have a check list we use to make sure everything is ready to travel, and over half of it has been checked off as completed. Finishing up in the morning should be fairly easy.

We had supper with Terri and Thomas at the Full Moon Bar-B-Que Restaurant in Tuscaloosa. The food was good and there was plenty of it. The best thing about the meal, however, was the company. We'll do it again when we get back.

A personal note: Last year, we met three of the nicest people we could ever hope to encounter, our landlords Ruth, Marsha, and Chuck. When we were looking for a place to park the RV, they allowed us to rent a space in their little RV park. Over the course of the last year or so, these folks have become some of our best friends. When we came back here a couple of months ago, they told us they were closing the park in October because it had become too much of a burden to keep open. At this time, our RV is the only one still parked here. Since we don't expect to be in this area more than 2-3 weeks the rest of the year, we decided to go ahead and give up our space. This allows them to move ahead with plans for the property. We appreciate everything these folks have done for us, and whenever we're in the area, we will always stop by to visit with them. Thank you, guys, for everything.

More later, be safe.
