Welcome to my blog Char! I am west of St. Louis in a RV park enjoying some down time! That wetness I reported continued to be evident from Chicago to here, causing serious troubles. They had 12" of rain here in October , even two state parks I stopped at were closed - you could not get to the campgrounds!
Glad to report liquid gold (fuel) prices coming down! Last fillup in Livingston County was 2.79 a gallon, yesterday paid 2.63 and saw 2.51 when I stopped here. Lets keep this trend going, Starship is really heavily loaded and best is 7.3 miles to the gallon and that is on flat land!
Temps are in the 60's and sunny and due to hit 70 here by Saturday. I hope this also moves North for all you Michiganders and through out the midwest for all you farmers!
Yesterday's interesting character award is split between Mary and Pam. Spanky introduced me to Mary at a travel break. She is from Iowa on a 5 week vacation headed to Ida, Arkansas. Her quest is to find a phanton crystal which is white quartz with a dark inclusion said to have very special powers! She was an interesting lady before she told me her ride at home is a 1969 sassy green Plymouth road runner! Not only interesting, but a Mopar gal as well! Best luck to you Mary on your quest.
Pam, another free spirit was my neighbor last night at this RV park. Pam is traveling with her cat, Killer in a 5th wheeler pulled by a hot lookin black Ford diesel pickup. She has been on the road for 24 months, crisscrossing the country, and had many intereresting stories to tell! Pam is off to Florida and more adventure.
I have enjoyed staying here, and took a huge hike yesterday. I can't believe how good life is for me right now. Here I am after a great shower and breakfast, doing laundry, watching TV, and being online, all in the comfort of the Starship in a nice setting ! Stay tuned...........
