Adventures in Trucking

We were suppose to be loaded and ready to go Monday or Tuesday but it has now been pushed to Thursday.  We are currently staying at the Best Western on Lake Lucille.  It has a balcony overlooking the lake and lots of beautiful flowers leading down to the dock area.  They have a very popular restaurant here as it is very busy during lunch and dinner with people sitting inside and outside overlooking the lake.   We went for a long walk tonight but ended up jogging back as the mosquito’s were very hungry as we went deeper in the woods [...More...]
