Off...and Runnin'

The adventure begins...  We awoke at 6:00 a.m. and were on the road by 7:05!  We left home with just a dusting of snow, with very little falling.  By the time we hit Interstate 64, the dusting turned into one or two inches and one lane travel-able road.  Our average speed was an amazing 52 mph !  I drove the first leg, and believe me, it was awful..even the truckers were slowed down in the slush.  Eventually, on the other side of Rend Lake the highway cleared up and I increased the speed to a whopping 65!  The further south we traveled, the better the weather.  We ended up in Troy, Alabama, for the evening...parked at 5:00.   Turns out we got the same exact room at the Best Western as we did in 2009 !  What a coincidence.!  More snow is predicted for southern Alabama for tomorrow morning.  Hopefully we'll be on the road early and will miss the shit!
