We are currently south of Atlanta - so that run for home I referenced earlier is a real run. We spent last night north of Atlanta in Calhoun, GA and the prior 2 nights off I-55 (recuperating) in MO at the Hawn State Park - 50 mi south of St, Louis near the historic town of St. Genevieve (oldest town in MO). We saw our first real flood gates, you know, those big metal gates in the levees that towns use to keep out the mighty Mississippi when it floods - but those pics are on Bruce's camera
The travels and travails of 2 retirees as they explore the US and Canada with Hazel the superdog. This blog is for our family and friends (even new ones that stumble on this narrative) who want to follow along with us on our journeys.

Driving Miss Linda ....
I am sitting in the passenger seat of The Beast enjoying the views out the big window (remember it is called the big screen when we are parked) of blue skies and cumulus clouds (that I am sure will bear rain later this afternoon) and the landscape of southeastern SD and now western Iowa - farming country for sure - corn (lots and lots of corn,) cattle, hay - and much more I can't see.

The Run for Home - Not our normal exercise!
First - I must apologize to my all friends and family following our journeys this year. For over a month I have been a slug, a well meaning one, but still a slug. I have not kept up my blog and now we are making a run for home. Why, you say, are you running for home? Since inquiring minds want to know, I will expound.
