Hi everyone - hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I know we did.

We left home on Wednesday, October 17th. Gone for the winter to warmer climes!! Our destination this year is Florida. But we decided to head straight south to get some sun before we head east.... We had three days of beautiful driving weather, sunshine!! No rain - No snow!! First night we spent in Grangeville, Idaho. The second night we met up with friends Rich and Tina in Jackpot, Nevada.

The third night we spent at the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge (we stayed there last year on our way home). It was pretty full. Only half of a double site left available, so we pulled in behind a couple with Idaho licence plates. What an interesting couple! Patty and George Reynolds, from Anywhere, USA.... They've been living 'on the road' since 1976 when a great flood claimed pretty much everything they owned, except the trailer they were now pulling. They've been everywhere, done everything - and still going strong!! We always say "you gotta get outta your rig and say hi to your neighbour" - you just never know who you'll meet along the way!!

Today we arrived in Laughlin, Nevada. Here we'll hang out until Monday when we begin our eastern trek. The temperature was 80 degrees and tomorrow it's suppose to be higher......YES!!

Bye till next time - thanks for reading!
