Resuming the Journey

After a two month stop in Elkhart, we have resumed our travels.  It's always bittersweet to leave family and friends.  It's still exciting to continue to travel.  We're once again reminded not to get too locked in to a particular destination because life's little twists and turns may change the plan...

Our departure preparations included a Whale wash and wax.  As Jerry was walking around the Whale to  check out progress, he discovered a split in the side wall of the back driver's side slide - about two inches long.  Eventually, enough water could seep in to rot the side of the Whale.  Our trip to the east coast of Florida via Charleston and Savannah have been scrapped for a return trip to Red Bay, AL.  This will be warranty work.  While in Red Bay, we will also get the engine serviced.

We will spend a week in Brown County, IN before heading to Red Bay.  Those reservations have been made for months, and it's on the way...  sort of.  We use to take a long week-end to Brown County every year.  It's one of our favorite places although the quaint town town area of Nashville has gotten way too commercial in recent years.  The Brown County State Park is gorgeous, especially in the fall with trees turning every shade of yellow, red and orange.  Crisp mornings, wood fires and long walks with the dogs will be the going fare for this next week.
