Isn’t every story supposed to start whit something like “It
should have been a dark and stormy night” but this one doesn’t.
It took us about three hours last night to store the final
items and hitch Old Blue to the cabin.
We were both exhausted. A few
more items this morning and we are on the way.
I had a couple questions about the hitch set-up so Curt checked out the
electrical and hitch for us, a couple tweaks and everything was o.k.
We woke up to a deluge which is just passing through as this
is written. The forecast looks like
morning showers following with a hot sunny day in the afternoon. The decision to make the jump to St. Joseph
looks like a good one as the drive is only six hours. With a couple minor adjustments for gas stops
it means that portion of the journey can start anytime today, though we are
planning around 10:00am.
When the sky brightens and the winds fall-off a bit we will
start out. First stop is two miles to
pick-up Ice at the Ayerco and then north to Hannibal and on west on US 36 to
St. Joseph.
Sarah is house sitting and taking car of the cats, Curt and Mary are caring for Sophia and looking over the whole shebang while we travel.
