2 RV's to Greer SC (delivered)

2 RV's to Seffner FL (Sunday)

... spending the night at Brownsburg IN

Breakfast - no eggs or sausage. The apple juice was mostly water, the yogurt was outdated and BB said even the milk seemed watered down.

Last evening we had shut the bathroom door for 'other reasons,' and when we went in later it smelled like smoke. There was no fan in the bathroom and our guess is someone was smoking in their bathroom and we all share a common vent system.

I didn't notice it, but BB said the room had such an off odor that she was up during the night putting some other 'odor' next to her so she could sleep. Not likely that we will be staying here again.

(And there are the place that never ask 'how was your stay)

We check out at 7:30.

I am on the exit ramp when my low fuel light comes on. I could have put in a half gallon less of fuel :) BB's light also comes on before we get to the station.

1st stop is the Spinx for fuel. BB parks her RV and gets in mine. We head to the airport to pick up our rental car.

Airport.

2nd (or 3rd) stop is the drop. It is 8:15 and they do not accept deliveries until 9 AM ... or so the sign says. I call and someone answers so I let them know I am early. Then I find out the guy in the pickup next to me works for the drop. And then I saw the check in guy and he said he'd get to us ASAP.

By then BB was there, it didn't seem to take to take her as long today. Because it was still before 9 AM, I decided to walk to pick up the rental car before they started on my unit. It takes me a little over 10 minutes to walk back to Spinx and another five to drive back to the drop.

After I am back, the inspector starts looking at my RV. We don't talk much because if we are talking, he is not inspecting. But he did say they had a new inspector start last Monday ... but he never came back.

My RV was inspected by 9 AM and BB's by 9:30. We are on the road way before 12 noon today. Nothing new or good on the load board in the area so we are heading back to the mid-west. We needed to get to Louisville tonight to get home on Saturday night and we are running about two hours ahead of that.

We sent each set of paperwork in as soon as our RV was inspected. We were paid within a half hour.

Yesterday when we arrived near Greer, it was 78 degrees :) This AM it was about 60 degrees here ... and -10 at home.

1st stop was the North Carolina welcome center for the rest room. It allowed us to get most of an hour behind us before our first stop.

2nd stop was the Loves in Newport. We had planned on getting GodFathers pizza but they only had small family sized pizza's not the personal pan size that most locations have. So we ended up getting shelf food. I had a chicken salad sandwich and BB had a pulled chicken sandwich. In and out in 10 minutes.

3rd stop was the Willamsburg welcome center in KY.

4th stop was the Buc-ee's at Richmond for fuel. Gas was $2.59, cheaper than anywhere else. BB looked it up, this location has 120 fuel pumps. BB described the store as 'Walmart during the Christmas season.'

Finally after noon, IA started putting trips on the load board. We/she looked at them and then at the weather. There is nowhere west that looks safe next week. Right now I am hearing from drivers that have sat for 3-4 days waiting to get across WY. AZ and WA aren't looking any better.

Finally there are two for FL that will work. BB calls this time. We get the trips. And that was the end of what the added during the day.

5th stop was another rest area, this one in Henryville IN

6th and final stop was the Comfort Inn in Brownsburg. We have stayed at the Quality Inn across the freeway before but between the last few Quality Inn's we have stayed at and the reviews we upgraded for the night.

BB ordered online, but mis-guessed what time we would get here. We got breakfast from Bob Evan's.

After the office closed, IA added another 60 trips. Nothing better as we won't go to half of the country right now.

US - 393

Tomorrow we plan on leaving about 7 AM. Short stops for fuel and food and we should be back in town by 4 PM. I need a quick stop at the clinic, if I miss that, we will head home for the night. If make the clinic before they close, we will head back in the direction of IA for the night.
