We took off on our first major journey with the new rig and more than a little trepidation. We've not had too much practice with filling stations and a big trailer. Couple that with a smallish gas tank and low mileage and we now have lots of practice. The east coast is a mere 250 gallons from home and lots of gas stations. I've heard that if you stop and walk around every hour or so you don't get so tired - I guess you need to do more than fill up the truck.
We're enjoying seeing all our friends, but I do wish they'd do something about the heat and humidity. When you get used to 25% humidity being really damp, this 60 and 70% well, it just isn't right (or pleasant).
We have plans to make it better though, after a couple of more stops with family, it is our intention to head to the northeast - way northeast, like Nova Scotia. Cool jacket weather and lots of good seafood. Also lots more gas stations.
It's also time to get out the camera and start some pictures. I wish I had taken more earlier. We went along the beach in Mississippi and Alabama. It may never have those clean white beaches again. We can only hope.
Stay tuned for more updates and I'll try to do better about making them.
