Days Three, Four, and Five

Day Three we drove to Maude, TX and spent the afternoon and night with Verl and Lynda. We had a good visit and was up early in the morning and on the road. Day Three we drove to Exeter, MO and spent the afternoon visiting with my Aunt Phyllis and two cousins, it has been over twenty years since the last time we were together. Continuing our trip North spending the night (Day five) in Watertown, S.D. and hope to arrive in Carnduff, Sask., Canada tomorrow afternoon.

Day two....450 miles

The day started with an hour in the exercise room, breakfast, into the car and off we went. While driving we got out the National Park booklet and found we would be about 100 miles from the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum so decided to take a side trip. What history!!! Also spent a short time at the Tuskegee University and it is a beautiful campus but a little run down, of course it is very very old.

We drove as far as Greenwood, MS and here will spend the night. Hope to be in Maude, TX tomorrow to spend the day with Verl and Lynda.

Day One...420 miles

Had a great end of season party last night with all the family. Will miss them terribly but looking forward to seeing Bryan and his family.
Got up early, finished packing and putting the house in shape and was on the road by 9:30a.m. The drive was very nice until we got North of Tampa and for several miles it was stop and go, took a half hour to drive 7 miles at one point. In three hours we only put 115 miles on the car. At this time we decided to leave HWY 75 and take a secondary road which was slow but faster than the highway. We finally got into Alabama and spending the night in Dothan.
