Cold!!!

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 27 degrees in Elkmont, Alabama, high 43 degrees in Hope, Arkansas

Did you notice that the high and low temperatures seem to be reversed? That's because when we left Hope this morning, the temperature was 43 degrees, and maintained a steady downward dip, By the time we pulled into Elkmont about 1700 hours this evening, it was down to 27 degrees. BRRRR!

Sometimes, we laugh about the fact that it seems that we do this RVing thing backwards. Most people go south for the winter, when we might be going north. Then, in the summer, most people go north for cooler weather, while we seem to find some of the hottest places in the country to spend the summer. Now, here we are in Elkmont, with temperatures expected in the low teens the next few days. We've got to get our sense of direction fixed!

We thought there might be some ice and snow in Hope this morning, but that kind of weather missed us. Thank God! We left Hope about 0800 hours, and passed through Little Rock and Memphis with no problems at all. We were making such good time, that we decided to try to make it back to Elkmont today. Even though we were tired, we made it just at dark. Setting up in the dark was not a lot of fun, but making it worse was the 27 degree temperature. I thought my hands would freeze by the time I was finished outside. When I got into the RV, Carolyn had prepared some hot chicken soup. Just what I needed to warm me up.

Tomorrow, after what we hope will be a good night of sleep, we'll try to finish up what needs to be done to move into the new home base. It'll be good to get things the way we want them, but best of all will be the chance to stay warm while it's so cold.

Maybe I can talk Carolyn into making some chili.

More later, be safe.
