The previous weeks included changing oil/filter, air filter, fuel filter and air dryer, lube, tires then inspection. New brakes and an air line were required to get a sticker. With all that behind us, we were able to load the motor home with our belongings and vacuum up, or toss out, all the Stink Bugs that invaded every home in the area this summer.
Now all we needed to do was get the Harley's, the bicycles, the car and various other "necessities" into the trailer. The last tasks before we can hook it all together and get on the road.
Left the house at 6:30 a.m. to go get the trailer with the truck and bring it to the motor home. 15 minutes to get there, over an hour to get back. Overnight, snow and wind caused downed trees and power lines resulting in snarled traffic. Wind and snow...one of the reasons we're leaving town.
After hooking it all up, our 65 foot combination takes off at 10:30 a.m.
Traffic was still heavy and Ohio was a nasty mess. Saw 5 accidents on the interstates between Columbus and Cincinnati, including one overturned pickup.
All in all it made for one long day and not much mileage. It was so cold and windy, it pierced the cockpit and we decided to stay in a hotel rather than use up all our propane trying to stay warm. We had to sneak Mia into the non-pet friendly facility. Enjoyed the warmth, hot shower and free breakfast.
We are long time RVers and motorcyclists. Each winter our goal is to leave town before we have to start the snow blower, go someplace warm to ride the Harleys and explore our surroundings. This blog documents an amazing journey from December 1, 2010 to March 26, 2011, covering nearly 12,000 miles by land and sea. Thanks to everyone who came along with us through this blog.
