Cross Country Adventure 2021



Well, hello again.  We are hitting the road and I will try to keep up my posts this trip.  It's been a hectic few months and driving cross country seems like relaxing time right now.  Talk to me in two weeks.    😉

We leave tomorrow, heading east.  I'll post tomorrow before bed and hopefully have some photos for you.

We made it to our first destination and we are staying with friends. Judy and Steve are so kind and generous with their home. Steve has the best shop ever! Huge new tractor and all the fixings.

The drive was uneventful but really smoky. This is the Columbia river gorge and those look like clouds. Nope smoke. It usually Is a beautiful view.


Well dear hearts, it’s time for bed. Love to all! Grandma and Funpop

We departed Copperas Cove, TX. We had a wonderful stay with Robbie and Sylvia. I need to fast for eight days to lose the weight gain. My Sylvia can cook and we ate way too much every day.  We got the crown molding installed and Robbie is caulking. There were one or two corners that needed extensive caulking but most went in well.  In addition to interior design, Sylvia is also a gardener. There are butterflies 🦋 and birds everywhere. They enjoy the yard as much as the humans. Roy and I have acquired a new skill. Identifying dead squished animals. Today I-10 west was quite busy:  A fawn 😟 Deer Skunk Porcupine  opossums Cougar  And a large bird of pray - Harris’s Hawk. I had to look up that one. Love to all! Grandma and FunPop

We stopped at camping world to find a sewer pipe cap to replaced one that had cracked.  The cap isn't technically needed but I didn't want to see the inside.  It was an inexpensive cap so $6.59 later we were out the door and on our way to Costco for supplies. I gave Roy wrong directions and we turned into a residential area.  Roy found a small cul-de-sac and managed to turn around.  What we didn't realize until we arrived at Costco we lost our backup camera on the trailer.  Turns out we crimped the cable and we lost trailer running lights and backup camera.  We could drive durin...

We spent a lovely two days visiting Tony, Diane, and Deseree in Maryland. Roy and I Roy and Tony  Harbor Roy and Troy Tony, Diane and I getting the route down to Newport News, Virginia. We had a great drive on the backroads to Newport News. It was very stormy ⛈ but so green and lots of old farms. Much better than I-95. Many thanks to Tony, Diane and Deseree.
