After a year of planning and preparation we are finally on our way west! Yesterday we left Ft. Myers and now we are in Webster, Fl. on our way up I-75. Stopping here for 2 days so we can visit with my sister-in-law, Dawn, and her husband, Larry. We are also going to get a special inspection of our motorhome here at Sumter Oaks RV Park. Basically, a weight distribution inspection to see if we are loaded correctly and ready to roll. (a safety thing)
Although we are traveling in a modern form of transportation, we are still conscious of how Americans went west in an earlier time. Those brave and adventurous settlers risked everything to reach a new land thousands of miles away. We risk very little as we wander the same path as visitors and viewers. That does not mean we won't have some challenges of our own. It takes some "gumption" to get up and go west in a 32 ft. box, and we will be "spinning some plates" on the road ahead: Traffic, fuel, route planning, places to stay, weather, maintenance, and food needs. It all requires a certain effort on our part, but should reap great rewards along the way.
Still in warm, sunny Florida for the next few days!!
For BeeJay this trip is no big deal! This cat has done the ICW 2 times!!!
Same for Scamper who hunkers down just fine, but Teddy, the new kid, is not a good traveler yet. He hides!
