I say that because the water is attached between the two units but everything else is attached on the proper sides. No vehicles were around either since we arrived until this morning, a single white pickup. The fellow stopped by to chat and mentioned that they didn't stay here last night but are remodeling their house so stayed at home instead. After dropping his wife back at the 'trailer' this morning he was heading off to their business here in town. My guess is that the little trailer is storage for stuff they don't want to get dusty or think they may need while their out of their house but that last part is a guess. However I think they'll be here for a while longer and think they've been here for a while as well. He told me they've had these winds for 3 days now. So I can see why they would spend the night in a house if they could. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-51181378259792618352018-03-19T11:30:21.752-04:002018-03-19T11:30:21.752-04:00Thanks Patsy.

We did have a nice day, it went by without any real issues and we arrived safely before the winds really picked up according to the weather forecast. It's a very cute little park and I'm sure we'll enjoy our day here, although it's too windy to get outside to do much of anything, gusts up to 45 mph and sustained winds at approx 35-38 mph since our arrival yesterday afternoon (answering this in the morning obviously) have us pretty much Igloo bound. Supposed to start dying down around noon today and tonight will be less than half of those speeds. We will however get out and about in the Dogsled for a bit today at least for fuel and a possible run through the little town. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-88295385137536343762018-03-19T11:24:18.224-04:002018-03-19T11:24:18.224-04:00Thanks George.

Two more days of travel before we sit for a while in Tennessee. We are enjoying the views and sights but will be glad to settle into a much more familiar landscape for a while. <br /><br />A tail wind is good but I'd rather have no wind. That way it doesn't matter which direction the road goes I'm still good. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-54232689165542961082018-03-19T11:21:53.472-04:002018-03-19T11:21:53.472-04:00Thanks Doug.

Miss Kitty was upset by the wind after we stopped, but Riley managed like a trooper until we had to close the slides last night. she doesn't like not sleeping in her own bed but we managed to get past the night and now today the winds will slowly diminish and everything will be ready to go in the morning. <br /><br />Yeah the wind is cold here too, a local told me they've had these winds for 3 days now. He's been losing shingles off of his business roof. So you know what kind of winds are required to do that. Glad you managed to get the day in although I'm sure it was tough for both of you to just sit and do nothing!! <br /><br />Take care, be safe, stay warm.<br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-38571473604786155282018-03-19T11:13:42.668-04:002018-03-19T11:13:42.668-04:00We are making some good progress and hopefully soo...We are making some good progress and hopefully soon we'll be back across the Mighty Mississippi into the land of less wind and more green so dust stops blowing around. <br /><br />We have indeed witnessed some amazing sights and look forward to seeing more on our continued homeward journey. <br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-23022942170039484112018-03-19T11:10:02.906-04:002018-03-19T11:10:02.906-04:00Thanks.
