Feb. 20 - Thurs

Well after our long, harsh, snowy winter and a 3 day delay because of the weather, Paupers Pride is finally on the road again on our way to sunny Florida!!! You are welcome to "come along with us" via our blog journal. When we left home this morning, it was raining and we pretty much had rain off and on the whole day. On top of the rain, it was extremely windy. I was nervous, but Richard keeps his cool & handled it just fine.This was to be a long driving day. Our first campsite is in Cave City, Ky a little over 400 miles. Because of the rain & wind we had to keep a slower pace. When we got to the Indiana/Kentucky state line, we ran into a detour. There was construction over the Ohio river so the detour cost us almost an hour travel time on top of the fact that because of the time change, we also were already going to lose an hour. We finally made it to our first stop"Singing Hills Campground" and it was just starting to get dusk. In fact Richard had to hook up the electricity and water using a flashlight & lantern.We left home at 8:45 a.m. & arrived at 6:35 p.m. Then we got the TV going & the first thing on it was a severe weather warning for storms & high winds with possible tornados!! (Great, we leave all the snow in Illinois & come to Ky & get severe weather). We were told that if conditions got bad, we were to go to the bath house on the campground. We decided to have some supper (campbells chicken noodle soup).It looked like the real severe storms were to the north of us, but it really poured. Thank goodness our RV doesn't have any leaks and believe me we checked all over. As I am sitting here writing this it is pouring with lightning & thunder. Of course Richard is sound asleep, it is 8:10. He was really tired after all that driving. I will not be able to go to sleep until these storms are over, I am keeping watch. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better driving day. It is only about a 5 hr drive to our next stop in Adairsville, Georgia.
