Wednesday, May 26

Yesterday we went a total of 950 miles. Today we only went 275. We are in Virginia and going along fine till a drive honked at us to pull over. There we found the tread separated from the tire and we were riding on the rim,This was on the 5th wheel. After we got someone to change the tire and put on the spare he told us the other tires were not very good and would have them changed asap. We drove to Roanoke VA and after driving around found a Firestone dealer who worked on truck tires. After a 3hr delay it was now 5:30 and we decided not to go to much further today. It is funny how draining your billfold suddenly make you very sick and tired. It was almost 7 before we found a campground. Early to bed tonight. Tomorrow is another day. At least we are out of the humid weather & heat of Texas. The Mountains of Virginia are beautiful.

Monday May 24, 2010 On the road again

We are on the road to the Berkshire Mtns. for a Memorial day celebration with some of our family.
Timing was just right. I had ankle surgery to fix a tendon torn in 4 places and I finished PT. Gene had gall bladder surgery a week ago and got the ok from the doctor to travel...so we left home Monday morning and drove to Little Rock, Arkansas. We only got 350 miles that day. The down town Riverside Park was great but that was for one night.
At 6:30am the next morning we headed for Tennessee and got to 40 or so miles from the border of West Virginia. A total of about 590 miles. We pulled into a lovely campground in Baileytown, Tenn. where we could open the windows and smell the new mowed hay. It was in the 60's, without any humidity.
We have about 800 miles to go.
