Southbound

 Southbound 10 14 14

On the road again. We're taking three weeks to go from Frankfort to Florida. Time to enjoy the Fall colors and weather. We arrived at Potato Creek, near South Bend IN, in time to experience our first encounter with masses of Asian Lady Bugs. 15 minutes after we parked the rig, it was almost orange on the outside. We learned that they seek out the “inside” after finding a few inside the rig. We ended up capturing or killing nearly 200 and didn't go out again that evening. A dust buster works wonders, sucking them off of the walls and ceilings. We tried to get the cat involved in the game but to no avail.

I had more fun with the Tom Tom GPS system yesterday. I don't really navigate with it, but do tell it where I'm going as a bit of a back up. They have re routed part of US 31 and Tom was beside himself. We were in a “Here Be Dragons” area and she wasn't happy. I have the voice set as a British, female, and she was getting insistent that I return to the motorway.

I'm sitting here currently watching a neighbors golden retriever, sit very politely watching a squirrel tease him unmercifully . The tension in the dog is visible. “I'll sit here the way that I'm supposed to, but give me the word and I'll chase that furry thing into the next county.”

We're off this afternoon to take a plant tour of an RV factory, over in Elkheart. There is also a museum there. Should be interesting and informative..

          Decided that we had extra time on our hands, so are heading for Gulf Shores AL, for a few days and will then wander East across the FL panhandle shore line to Port St. Joe
