We got an early start this morning. I wasn't in any hurry but when Maggie and I took our morning walk it started misting on us. I looked at the radar and we had some thunderstorm's headed toward us. I woke Susan up and we finished hooking up and were on the road by 7:30 am. We had an easy drive and stopped to eat some breakfast in Columbus. We made it home a little after noon. The traffic thru Houston was a lot heavier than I expected but really wasn't bad. I just haven't been in much traffic for 3 months. Everything was certainly green when we got home. The good thing about a trailer is you don't have to unload everything when you get home. You can space it out so it doesn't seem so much. Over all, we had a good trip this summer but it does feel good to be home. We did 3 states Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico. We tried to stay 7 days at each stop and then move only about 4 hrs to a new location. We did a lot of dispersed camping and USFS camping. We did 5 straight weeks of living off of our generator and having to conserve water. I find it hard to stay in rv parks anymore We put about 7700 miles on our truck this trip which is the least amount we have done in 5 years. We are trying to stay longer in one location and not move quite as much. Now that we are home my blog will be very sporadic.
