Delicate Clouds

 

ADVENTURE LOCATION:

DECATUR, ALABAMA

POINT MALLARD CAMPGROUND

OCTOBER 19, 2024

We got going reasonably early this morning and made a loop through the campground to the dumpsters and out the back gate of the campground. The first thing we noticed was how pretty the sky was. Then we noticed the wispy nature of the light clouds in the sky.

As we meandered our way along the graveled trail we ran into a couple we know from walking here for years. He is 84 and she is 83 and they will walk your legs off at a very brisk pace. So we walked along for a while and a nice fellow they know came up the trail and paused for a visit. Soon the older couple went on their way and the fellow and the OFM talked about RV travel subjects for about twenty minutes. The OFM blog address was given to him and he got all excited about meeting a long time RVer especially getting info from an RVer who started in 1972. Finally we split up and the OFM went on along the trail and completed his walk in good shape. This sort of thing happens about three times a week here in this park and the OFM loves it.

We did a bit more cleaning and some getting rid of effort as we gently move to our planned rolling date of November 18.

A nice half hour nap late in the afternoon was wonderful. Another good point about RV traveling is you can easily take an after lunch short nap in your RV to more easily keep the old body feeling fresher and alert while driving. The OFM aims at a maximum 300 mile day which normally translates into a six hour travel time per day. We looked at our situation carefully again today and everything looks like we will finally get to roll. The first two days is I-67 south and right onto I- 20 to near Morton Ms. For the first boon dock night and then just inside Texas for the next night. After that we are free to roam wherever we get the urge.

WOW THAT SOUNDS GREAT TO US.
