Cross Country in 10 Days



Hi All,

If you are driving a car and staying in motels you could cover the 2,400 miles from Grand Teton to Tampa in five days driving eight hours a day at the speed limit (80 mph in WY and NE). No so in a motorhome. We travel 60-65 mph wary of the cross wind's especially on I-80. Plus, with the time spent setting up and then getting ready for travel in the morning, six hours of driving is a full day. We drove three days straight to Omaha then took a day off. We visited the Durham Museum built in the 1931 train station.


The huge waiting room was impressive 

and it included several statues depicting 1940's passengers. When you walked up to the statues they began to talk about their train trip.

Two long driving days brought us to Nashville. We had done the bar hopping music scene a few times and since we have quit drinking we found an alternative, the Tennessee State Museum.

We were blown away with the scope and quality of the exhibits and the wonderful docent that led our one hour tour. Next time you are in Nashville, save your liver and feed your brain!
Three more driving days brought us to our temporary home at the Spanish Main RV Park in Thonatossassa, FL. It is an old park with narrow roads and mostly long term residents in park models but we had little choice since we made the reservation so late. It will do for now. 

Saturday morning as we prepared for our final driving day, Carl decided the anthem for the day would be "One Day More" from Les Mis. We listened as we ate breakfast.


Today we visit Alan & Barbara, Sandy's brother and sister-in-law and begin a serious search for a condo in the area.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
