Cool!

 

If you have any issues down or back, keep Copperhill, TN in mind. Tools, some parts, ground transportation, whatever.

 

Otherwise, enjoy!

 

Maybe we can stop by Athens, GA & Copperhill, TN on our way back!

I will update you on our journey through this forum!

Wish you luck on the Florida legs,summer has come early,afternoon storms throughout central fla almost every afternoon. Fly early in the AM west coast along the water has been good.

 

I am carefully watching the weather and basically all of the activities are coming out of east coast of Texas ~ Gulf of Mexico and slowly coming up to north east.

We may need to move our trip date from Friday to Monday...who knows...I will keep monitoring the weather and make the decision on Thursday night.

Looks like weather is so unpredictable especially around the Florida panhandle...

Hi Roger,

 

I just learned that brother in law had a stroke a few minutes ago... Not only nature is against us, but also family emergency situation put us in impossible situation for us to leave out of town...

This is very bad for us since he is the only person currently taking care of mother in law in daily basis...

 

This trip has been cancelled......but more importantly, life comes first.
