Pella, IA

Stopped for the night at the Walmart in Pella, IA. We are about 45 miles from DesMoines where we went to get the oil changed in the motor home tomorrow morning before we go to the lake. We unhooked the Jeep when we got here and went to the Jarsma bakery. Then we took the bikes and bike rack off of the motor home and put them on the Jeep so they will be out of the way for the oil change.

Bowling Green, MO

We stopped for the night at the Cozy C RV Park at Bowling Green, MO. We have stayed at this park several times before and enjoy it. The owners are like old friends which makes it very relaxing. We took a different route starting out this morning on some back roads and ran into a with a bridge with a weight limit that was well below the weight of the motor home. This resulted in a long detour on some narrow country roads. Good thing that Mom is a great driver.

Paducah, KY

Stopped for the night at a Walmart In Paducah, KY. Had a 5 mph headwind today, and a lot of rough interstate. Cooler weather today, wearing sweatshirts to go outside.

Carrollton, GA to Cabela’s in Huntsville, AL

We spent Wednesday through Sunday in Carrollton, GA at the Little Tallapoosa Park. Our days were spent at Janice’s moms house visiting her and Janice’s family. We had a good time there and hated to say goodbye again, but we left this morning and stopped for the night at Cabela’s in Huntsville, AL. I spent some time checking out the store here. A little rain passed through this evening.

Tifton, GA

We are on the road again, we originally planned to leave Ordway at the end of March, but we decided to stay until after Easter. We really enjoyed our winter there and hated to leave the work, the people, and the quiet there.

The volunteer couple next to us there (Bob and Pam) left a month or so ago. Pam is a clown and so she made Janice some balloon flowers! They are good friends and Bob is great to work with. He is also a serious campfire builder and we were always welcome at his fires.

There are many of these beautiful old live oaks growing around the station and this is the one right next to our campsite.

One of the projects there is to restore some wire grass areas. Seed was collected last fall and we planted the seeds into these starter trays last week. They will be watered and cared for until they are planted in July.

Me and my fellow workers there. 


Bob and I spotted this sunrise  one foggy morning on the way to work and he took this picture. 

I had it printed and put it in a frame for our supervisor, Tracey.
