ALUMAPALOOZA ... DEPARTURE @ 11:51am

After last nights storm, a repeat of last year, most everyone was loaded and ready for departure this morning. Tim and I said our goodbyes to the ones we could catch before we pulled out. It looks like we should meet up with a few before next years Alumapalooza. This years event was great. And yes better than last year. We are very grateful to be able to be involved with such amazing people. They are all inspirations to us. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We've already began plans for attending next year.

Once on the road we began heading south. Of course we were listening to the newly purchased Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours CDs. Some of my favorite songs include Aunt Beulah's Road Kill Overcoat, My Baby Whistles When She Walks, Trailer Park Princess, It Ain't Home Till You Take The Wheels Off and The Ballad of Skippy and Rover ... just to name a few. The CDs made the long haul to London KY pretty fun. I think there could be a few lessons learned by listening to every word.

Currently we have landed at Levi Jackson State Park in Kentucky. We are so happy to be plugged into 30 amp power so we can run the AC in the Airstream. The campground is decent but on the other hand this place makes us realize how nice the parks are in Florida. At least they have a place here to do your laundry . . . all my hanging clothes got flung off the closet rack due to the 'pot slinging' construction pot holes on the interstate in Ohio. So all my clothes will be wrinkly except those I washed today. The plan is to spend the night here and determine the next stop on our trip south. We hope to travel tomorrow to a higher elevation for a few days of cooler weather. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
