Houston, The Giant Rolling Pickle Has Landed.

We arrived safely at Upriver RV Resort this afternoon about 2:30. Since we only had slightly more than 120 miles to go today, we didn't rush. We showered this morning before breaking camp. You don't want to show up unclean at your winter residence. We didn't leave Tampa until 10:40. As planned, we stopped just a few miles along I-4 to fill up with gasoline. Not as planned, a giant rain storm began as I was running my credit card at the pump. We used the bus as shelter and when the rain lessened, Sue went back inside. The rain didn't last too long and soon we were on our way. We were driving in and out of showers along I-75 for the rest of the trip. We stopped at a Cracker Barrel when we were about 20 miles short of our destination. That way we were not hungry and had energy to plunge into the job of getting settled at our site. We got most of the important stuff done and will work on the other details over the next couple of days.

We are looking forward to Kris' arrival on Saturday. She will be spending a week with us and I know that the temperatures here will be much warmer than those in Cincinnati. Come on down, Kris!
