On the Back Roads Again

Our ringtone has been changed back from "Let it snow" to "On the Road Again". We'll be leaving today for Montgomery, AL, this time following mostly US highway routes to save mileage and as a change of pace from all the interstate driving we've done in the past two weeks and will continue to do in another week as we once again trek cross-country. It will be interesting to see how Patches reacts to the packing up necessary to move in the slides and prepare the rig for travel since it's been a month since we've moved. She seemed to understand that meant a long trip in the truck and she would settle on the truck's console for a long nap as we drove from one campground to the next.

The weather forecast is for heavy rains the next two days--not our favorite weather for travel. However, it's much preferable to snow, right? I have a friend who flew back to Denver for Christmas with her family--now THAT'S snow! I guess if you grew up in Colorado you would be used to those levels of snow, but the idea makes me shudder. I am so ready to put on a pair of shorts and pack away the sweaters.

Denny and I will just spend the one night in Alabama and then head out to Louisiana for a week's stay. We've been trying to visit this particular campground in our membership system for a while but circumstances have prevented us from doing so. It will be nice to see a new park since we'll be visiting all the old standbys once we arrive in Arizona. But that also gives us the opportunity to see familiar faces once again so we're anxious to return to our routine. And the warm sunshine--aahhhhh.
