SOLD!

We sold the RV, moved into a very nice condo in Southport, NC and are working hard to recoup the money we spent this summer to go out west (coast to coast).
Look at the size of that kitchen! Sure beats the one in the RV!

Day 74: Home again, home again, jigidy jog!

North Carolina! (((sigh))) Look at that sky!Dipping down to South Carolina...I love this ivy, it was everywhere! For those race fans out there we passed by Darlington...

We went through this little town and I spotted this brightly colored house, I couldn't resist taking a picture of it.
I've posted pictures of corn fields and other farms across country, so here are some from the Carolinas.This is a true southern farm...tobacco.

And I believe this is a cotton field.

Here are some Carolina pine trees.Here are the palm trees I've missed so much!

Back into North Carolina. Notice the small sign to the left...Brunswick County! We're getting closer...

14 miles...this seems like the longest part of the trip!7 more miles...

3 more miles...

entering town...Home...We pulled into our spot to find our wonderful friends here at the campground had left a bunch of festive balloons welcoming us home!

Thank you for taking this journey with us...it has been great sharing some of our summer with y'all.

Day 73: Back in the Carolinas! ;>)

485.6 miles from Illinois to Tennessee to North Carolina!!!Look how green everything is in Kentucky!
Nashville, TNAfter we went through Knoxville, the bottom dropped...

The winds were so strong and trees were falling onto the highway so we had to stop for the night just after we entered North Carolina. We stopped at Creekwood Farm RV Park in Waynesville, NC...look at this place! We took a nice walk around the park after the storm let up.

Good night!

Day 72: Missouri & Illinois

Another 478.1 miles down.Through St. Louis...Over the muddy Mississippi River...

...on to Illinois.

Really hot, tired and miserable today. We rested a couple times at a gas station or rest area but that didn't last long. The temperature in the RV was 99 when we finally stopped for the night and it was after 10 pm before it was cool enough to be comfortable.

Day 71: Longest day yet!

On the road again! Traveled 666.1 miles today and in 4 states:

Wyoming (day 2)...

Either I have been blind this whole trip or just not environmentally aware, since we consume diesel in this rig, but this was the first gas station I saw that advertised ethanol. It's in Wyoming! Go figure! Let me put this in perspective (thanks Terry) Wyoming has a population of 509,294 according to the 2008 Atlas we bought at Wal-Mart prior to our trip. According to the Charlotte, NC Chamber of Commerce web site they have a population of 695,995! How many ethanol gas stations does Charlotte have, I wonder? Nebraska...

This is beautiful farm country!

Nebraska had acres of corn fields!

Cabela's World Headquarters in Sidney, NE. This place had a campground and store, it was HUGE!The Great Platte River Road Archway, Kearney, NE

We slept a few hours at a Rest Area, but it was so noisy and HOT we decided to move on!Through a small portion of Iowa...

On to Missouri... Remarkable buildings
