Running from Snow

The doctor said my electrocardiogram hadn’t changed and so with some adjustments in medications we were good to head out. A massive storm front was approaching and so we left early on Thursday, driving over four hundred miles in a day, which is a really long day for us, but it was a wise decision.

Lander, the city we had been at, was forecast to receive 2-4 inches of snow but instead it got fourteen. We later met a couple that drove across the Loveland Pass and had to stop to remove all the snow, mud, and ice from their toad,(which for non rvers is what you call the vehicle behind your motor home).

So we made it to Sidney, Nebraska, and of course that meant Cabelas. I was able to try on different chest waders and bought a great pair that should last me for years. We also came across a great deal on a smaller Yamaha generator. The new one weighs less then fifty pounds which is way less than the one hundred and fifty plus pound weight of our old one, (hmm now I can add more rocks).

We stayed in Sidney for another day as the front blew through and then headed east across Nebraska. Interstate Eighty parallels the Platte River and the Platte was in flood stage as all the Colorado flooding had moved downstream to Nebraska.

Another day and we made it to the middle of Iowa where we are spending the night at a nice Casino Rv Park. Tomorrow we should make it to Pam and Roy’s, in Eastern Iowa and then it’s off to Indiana to get our rig rebuilt. It will be so nice to get it done as right now we are unable to use all of our slides.

So there’s not much else to speak of, we have all of our doctoring done for the year, and we are looking forward to our winter in Florida and Texas. Most especially we are looking forward to the new times with friends and family. Clear skies.
