Texas bound

We made it out of Vermilion, OH yesterday morning in 17 degrees and some snow on the ground. Fortunately it was sunny all the way down I75 into Kentucky, specifically Walton, where we spent the night last night. Got to 13 during the night but we had the furnace on and two space heaters going and it was nice and toasty inside - about 64 degrees. When we opened up the windows this morning to get things packed up, almost all the windows were iced over. And, they have lots more snow in Walton than we did in Vermilion. Living inside not using water yet - things are still frozen from the past couple of months. We will wait until we get to Alabama to start up water inside. Instead, we shower in their bathhouse-very nice and warm and clean. This morning we headed into Louisville, KY and picked up I65 south towards Nashville. When we left it was 17 degrees and by the time we got to Nashville it had warmed up to 38. Walton got this snow 2 days ago and when we got into Nashville - boy did they have ice! Glad we avoided that. We are now in Cornersville, Tennessee for the night, which is 27 miles north of the border of Alabama and Tennessee. Not bad out - was 45 when we pulled in about 2:30pm. Supposed to get down to 28 tonight, but glad the worst is past us. Chip and Grace (our cats) are amazing - they settled down about 1/2 hour after start up and today - not a peep. Truck running fine, RV is doing great, we will head to Meridian. Alabama for 2 nights tomorrow, then head to Lake Charles, Louisiana until after Christmas. Then head down south of Houston for the New Year and possibly stay for a couple of weeks. Won't write again until we get to Lake Charles. Here's a picture of the RV last night with all the snow. Notice our new graphic on the back? Yep, we are slow going down the highway, hence the turtle.
