See the USA in my Chevrolet
And, along the way pick up a certain 5er I ordered March 18@@@!!!!
Of course, I spent the last week at our farm house (2 hours SE of here) where a tree (the approximate size of Delaware) fell on it. Insurance came, insurance paid, a Trac Hoe came, a Trac Hoe conquered, a dump truck left (4 times) and a carpenter is coming. Lucky no one was hurt.....a house is just a house.
Leave for Hamilton, OH in the morning, right after the bank opens (that's too late, but no choice........). Pull in to Hamilton about midnight on Evil Eastern Time (EET). Pay off my share, get trailer, walk through, yada yada, and leave for.......well somewhere.........probably Tue afternoon. Make it somewhere, maybe Louisville, maybe Nashville.....by Tue night. Try to remember how to unhook and rehook the next morning. Find roadkill to eat.
Get home hopefully Wed night. Sleep a few hours.......leave Friday for Colorado (sans TT) for granddaughter's high school graduation.
Leave Colorado May 22. Head to St. Louis for 2 Cardinal games. Head home May 25.
Head back to farm to see what carpenter has done.
I haven't added that up, but I think it's about 12 million miles. But at the end, I'll have a TT in the driveway (or in a ditch somewhere, or or 'tother).
Then head to South Carolina to camp with daughter and grandson on June 14.
Goshen in August.
Might sleep in July!
The End.

Lol. It ain't fun to be me this morning.
But this has been 11 intense months in the planning. Glad when I can get it home.
Hope to make 1600 new friends in Goshen.

Got to admit.....the ride was a bit jerky....but only on bumpy roads. If bad bumpy, it about beat me to death. On smooth roads ok.
I hoped a dually and trailair kingpin and Companion hitch....woulda been better. Only thing I can think of is air bags. Heck, I got everything else!

My only complaint with the Cardinals is that last July the worst
tickets way up high were $34 each! I must be getting old!
