Hey all,

I officially retired Feb 27 and on March 4 at 3am left the 
metro DC area on a road trip across the USA to Wickenburg Az.

I have a Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel pulling a 34 foot Carri-Lite 
5th wheel trailer
packed with belongings and 1 retired racing greyhound 
and 1 150 pound Irish
Wolfhound.

Just missed the hurricane weather overnighting in 
Harrisonburg Va on 3-4.

Spent the night of 4-5 in Fort Chiswell Va. this morning woke 
up to everything frozen solid. It was 100% humidity last night 
and all that wet froze into a thin sheet of ice on everything. 
Waiting to thaw out so I can bring in the slides on
the trailer.

Southern Va is a world all it's own, 180 degrees from N. Va. 
I was fueling up the truck and the guy in front of me 
had a 70's pick up with metal kennel in the back and 
there must have been 12 beagles crammed in there. Cammo every
where............ don't suppose he was going hunting do ya???
yeahuh.

Next stop, Kingsport Tennessee where I hope to ride 
out the back spin of the
major snow event headed for DC area.

More later

Alice

Re: [Boomers International] The Trip West 
Enjoy that retirement. Southern Va is great. 
Skyline Drive has all the scenic views. From the high points in 


southern Va you can see a long way into North Carolina.

Re: [Boomers International] The Trip West 
--My cousin died in 2006 and had his ashes spread in 
two areas on the sky line drive. My wife and I want 
to go there over Easter to see where because I was 
asked to do the same for his parents. Its such a 
wonderful place. I have been from the beginning to 
the end. But
really didn't get to see some of it because of 
Mr. Fog. When its foggy you can't see a thing. 
Enjoy. My wife and I want to take trips as well, 
especially a tour of DC, and points west.

Have a good retirement. I'm 1 and half years 
into mine, and I'm only
59.

Re: The Trip West 
Hi Alice. Congratulations on your retirement and 
have a wonderful and safe trip!
When you get to Arizona I know that you will enjoy 
the Sonoran Desert. I've been there many times and 
we also have Yahoo Boomer members who moved West 
to area around Phoenix and they love it there.
Thank you for sharing your travel stories, whenever 
you have a few spare moments please post, 
we'd love to hear from you.

When there is fog there pull off the road. Yes it is impossible to see.
