I'll looking at 2,800 miles. Alone!

This is going to be, by about 600 miles, my longest solo trip.

The good thing about this trip, is that it is only a one-way trip.

Because of the thunderstorms, I am taking the Northern route, as opposed to driving through Texas, New Mexico, etc.

Funny how the weather, while freezing cold in the northern states, is actually a better drive because of how inclement the weather is in the southwestern states.

(The moronic car transport company could not get us a combined car transport from Mobile, Alabama, our former home, where my other vehicle is, and Dayton, where we had spent Christmas.)

Also, the house we had rented had to be let go, because our Realtor took one look at it, remembered about Trez (John III), and said, " No. No way!". The house has a 70' beach leading to the Sacramento River, and no retaining wall.

I have to thank her very well: Kris Tucker, Accent Properties of Red Bluff. We will only buy all our real estate from her!

If tomorrow was going to be Friday the 13th, ...........
