Five Days on the Road

05/06/2008

5 days on the road and 2 1/2 of them were just getting out of Texas. The other 2 1/2 days covered 3 states.

We hooked up with Hwy 83 in Abilene and began a quiet ride north. Since we love the long view over the plains, it was a coming home for us.

At the Flying J in Abilene, we were told their one truck stop sells 44,000 gallons of fuel in one day. One day! Puts the fuel issue into perspective, doesn't it.

I believe traveling 5 days in a row is a first for us. Just seemed like we couldn't get off the road. Finally in Chappel, NE, we pulled into a small RV park to rest. And rest we did.

We are off again tomorrow- heading toward Scottsbluff. Hope to find a settling-in place. Time to get back to work!
