So here I am where I was when I started this trip sometime back in July. I have finally arrived at my final destination for this trip which was the beginning.
I have traveled several thousand miles, 8,861 miles according to the speedometer. Miss Mabel now has 223,417 miles on her and she is just like a Timex Watch. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!!!!! oh and Blue Boy is fine too.................
I have been through or stopped in 21 states, bought untold gallons of gas (unfortunately I did not keep a record this time) and had for the most part a really good time.
The states that I was in at one time or another are as follows: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California (actually was in and out of California twice), Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and finally back to Florida.
I have been gone almost 5 months, met a lot of people, hopefully made some new friends. I did not get to see every body I wanted to see, but there is always NEXT TIME??????? Some I will remember, some I wish I could remember, and some, WELL, NEVER MIND.....................
I found several bottles, unfortunately no messages, probably that was due to the fact that I had to consume the contents to see if there was a message in there.
The good news is that this time I did not have to hurry home for the BIG WIND season as the only BIG WINDS that happened went some where else or I just drove away from them.
I have already said that next year I am going to take a break and maybe just go to the keys. But some I have talked to said the POOL has already started as to when I will leave and where I will go, but as I said, for me it is time to take a break.
I have attached some pictures of my little shack so you know where I started and where I ended up at.
From time to time I will post other stories from times past just because it is fun to put em out there.
But for now hope you all have or had {depending on when or if you read this??????}a Happy Thanksgiving.
I do believe I stumbled on to the PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE or at least one that sounds good. I just want to live happily ever after every now and then.
HOW IS THAT FOR A WAY TO END IT???????????? FOR RIGHT NOW...... and by the way the PENGUIN is the security guard.
