Faithful readers may think we perished in Wisconsin. In fact, we safely departed northern Wisconsin and returned via Michigan's UP, arriving safely at home on September 22. Unfortunately I have not updated this journal since September 14. We have heard from many friends, all hoping that we were well and wondering what we have been doing. We certainly have been busy in the last few months. In October we attended two back-to back Country Coach rallies in Chattanooga and Hilton Head. We have been paddling heavily, including two three-day camp outs on the Lumber River in November, and we have hiked a few days. Motor home repairs and upgrades are a constant in our life. The most significant project was the replacement of both TVs. We are now ready for the digital revolution. Dorcas and I both upgraded our driver's licenses to a "Classified Class B license" and are now legal to drive our coach. We each had to take an extensive written test and a road test in our coach with a DMV examiner. Apparently, the NCDMV has confidence in our ability to drive the big rig.
Today we leave home for another extended trip. My mother is coming here this morning and we will take her to my brother's home south of Raleigh for Christmas. This will be the first Christmas in many years that we have all been together. On Thursday afternoon we will head south for Florida. There we will attend several motor home rallies, renew many friendships and paddle as many days as we can. We will return to NC in late March. I hope to post some reports of our adventures a bit more frequently than I have in the past few months.
Merry Christmas!
Myron
