Fri March 27

Hi everybody.Well we made it home yesterday at 7pm. It was a very long day as we drove straight through from Ky.at 8 am. After emptying the trailer fridge and grabbing just what we would need for the night -we called it a night. Boy was that nice to sleep in our own bed after 3 months.I hope all our followers enjoyed the blog , Ron sure enjoyed taking pictures for it (until the camera died!) and I really enjoyed writing it to sometimes amuse everybody.We are planning our winter trip for next year so we'll talk to you then .Hope y'all stay safe. Bye for now and have a great summer!! Ron and Dee

Wed March 25

Hi everybody,We have arrived in Shepardsville Kentucky today. At 9:00 this morning looking at the rain and, there had been no storms all night, Ron thought we could make it to here if we got busy and started packing. It turned out fine but had rain the entire way here.They had a big ice storm back in Jan all down the I-65 corridor and surrounding area of Kentucky--there are branches down everywhere. It looks awful!
So we will head for home tomorrow morning possibly going right through . Once we get to Auburn , Indiana -its only 4 hrs-so who knows
Hope ya'll have a great night and will see you soon. Ron and Dee

Tues March 24

Hi everybody, well were at the park and we were making some headway for home but a bad storm is brewing in this area .We decided rather than take a chance we can sit it out and so will stay here until Thurs or Fri at least , rather than tomorrow.If it still looks not so great we can stay for another day.The winds are suppose to reach upwards of 50mph--not good towing a trailer.
We have been using the library internet and it works great!
Well that s all for today and we will keep you posted as we go.Take care all,Ron and Dee

Hi Everybody,Started the Trace today and it was nice and sunny. The red bud trees were blooming and lots of dogwood.We arrived at the Jeff Busby Park and found a spot .By 6:00 it was packed. Must be because its free,but with no showers.
We left first thing on Monday towards the David Crocket State Park. Nothing in bloom here but it is 70 deg and very nice weather for now. Its not packed but some of campers on the Trace also have come here(canadians heading home)Well thats about it for now .Take care Ron and Dee

Hi everybody.Here we are in Vidalia on the Mississippi river where we started out from.Its a beautiful sunny day 79* and sunny. We took a trip south into the state of Miss. today and then rode a ferry across to the other side of river and back up the other side .Sometimes the road ran on top of the dike that keeps the river where its supposed to be.This is our campground here and its very nice.We will be leaving tomorrow morn, and going back up the TRace.That puts us out of commission for 3 days maybe-no internet.Will get back to you when we can. Thats it for today .Have a great weekend Ron and Dee

Thurs March 19

Hi everybody,This picture was taken on a drive in the neighbourhood today.Its an unusual bunch of vines growing out of the ground and around some trees.It was 80 deg. here today and nice and sunny.I'm sure it will start to leaf out any day now.
Now this is a small portion of some petrified wood we discovered right behind our trailer today. I was snooping around for some pine cones and came upon some quartz ,agate and other cool stones(for our new tumbler)and Ron found all this wood.Well there was quite a pocket of it so that was what we started to collect before leaving tomorrow.We would have had to pay to go on someones ranch to find it at any other time.
Well thats our big find of the day -oh and a 1000 pc $4 puzzle at a new to used shop in town.
Bye for now Take care all--Ron & Dee

Hi everybody .We made it to Livingstone Lake today. It is really beautiful and looks like summer here.The bluebonnets were out in bloom the whole way here along the roadsides(Texas state flower)-gorgeous!
This lake is 35 miles long and 12 miles wide and looks like it could be a busy vacation spot in the summer.Lots of people are fishing & the kids are swimming already in it.Pontoon boats are in storage and everyone seems to have a view of the lake.

This is looking southward on the lake.Livingston State Park is over there somewhere.Will stay here until Fri and then on the road again.Well bye for now --take care Ron & Dee
