We Are Home!

We left Florida Tuesday morning,  about 8 am and traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee where we spent the night. We left Knoxville about 7:30 am and arrived home in Ripley about 7:30 in the evening. We had no problems along the way, other than some construction, which is to be expected. We came the longer way, up 75 rather than 95/26/77/79/90, because although longer, it is far less hilly, which is much easier on the old Caravan(155,000 miles) pulling a well loaded trailer.

The weather was hot and sunny, until we got within 20 minutes of Ripley when it started to rain lightly. Not a problem as we had an extra Tarp to throw over the trailer until morning.

Everything was fine in Ripley. the power was on, the water came on with no problems, the refrigerators/freezers came on with no problem. The house was cool, but warmed up some when doors, etc were opened.

This morning the sun was out, and it was just like being in Florida. We unloaded the trailer with nothing getting wet, completed unloading the car, and got down to the business of setting up the phone, computers and Dish Network.

We are about to resume nomal Ripley Life with its many trips to Buffalo and other locations.  Gas was generally 3.57 in Georgia, Tennessee, and ohio. In Kentucky  and Pa, it was more like 3.75-3.85. We don't know about NY yet because we have not been far enough East to see any gas stations in NY. Tomorrow we shall see.

Hope to see everybody soon, hang in there.
