The Journey South Begins

On Sunday November 1st, Paul brought the trailer in from the campground. Parked in front of our home, it really looked majestic. We spent the day organizing the closets and stocking the trailer with dry goods for our winter escape. At noon on Monday Nov 2nd, Paul and the Titanium headed for the border. Jane who had gone back to work on a contract remained in Ottawa. Paul crossed the border with no problem, althought the crossing guard did have the colored tag in his hand to send the unit for secondary inspection! After a quick stop at Camping World in Syracuse the journey south resumed. The night stop was in Carlisle, Pennsylvania at the Flying J truck stop - where all RV sites were full, so a spot amongst the Big Rigs was found. Tuesday was a full day on the road, with night finding the unit in Latta, South Carolina at the Flying J. A good meal was followed by a hot shower and that was it for the day. Wednesday morning started with a short 70 mile drive to Little River (just outside Myrtle Beach). The Titanium was unhitched at a storage facility and is now safely stored in the warm south - awaiting our return the first week of January. Towing a trailer out of the snowy north during January is not something I am prepared to undertake - if I can avoid it!

Unfortuately the trailer is enjoying warm weather and Paul turned north to rejoin Jane in frozen country. Let's hope December goes by quickly.
