Thursday 5 October - Forsyth, GA - night 2

Sitting here this evening, listening to the geese honking in our little private pond, I am disappointed that this adventure is ending. Margaret is quick to point out that a new adventure is just beginning. Back in Fernandina, we will not be busy with Chamber Music or Financial Planning Biz – things that have occupied most of our waking moments for the last 5+ years. But this adventure is ending – and part of me is sad.

Tomorrow is another (our last) travel day. We have reservations at Pecan Park RV Resort near JAX airport. We stayed there at the onset of our adventure. It is convenient and comfortable. We will also store the motor-home there once we’ve moved back into the house.

Today was a true work-day. Margaret went through every cabinet on the inside deciding what to leave and what to take. I did similarly with the under storage. (p.s. I also cleaned some, but not all, of the bugs off the windshield). We are sort of prepared to unload. Our plan is to pull up in front of the house on Saturday (after Friday night at Pecan Park RV Resort) and empty as much as possible. Somewhere along the way, we’ll pick up Ruby Bug and by the end of the day, have the motor-home back in dry storage and our bodies ensconced at 14 S 7th St, Fernandina Beach.

There are a lot of things we’ve meant to say in these blogs, but keep forgetting. Age? Occasionally, I’ll ask Margaret if we mentioned xxx, and she’ll say, No, we must remember to do that. But I’m not sure we always do.

I had great plans for the final picture of the trip; and maybe I’ll dig out the external hard drive tomorrow (yeah, right!) and put on a photo of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, probably the most singularly spectacular spot of the trip. But until then, a simple photo from our outing through the South Dakota Badlands / Grasslands of the solitary bison (with prairie dog friend – the small brown dot in front).

Thanks for all your comments and compliments. It’s been fun. And Margaret has tentatively agreed there will be more adventure next year. State tuned!
