On the Move

Thanksgiving festivities behind us, we are on the move.  Jan and I, and Jason left KY yesterday, Jay on his way home, and us on our way to Kelly's.  A little bit of a delay so Jan could climb on the icy roof and break and remove a big chunk of ice on the slide topper awning that was preventing the slide from coming in.  As I said it is way too cold!

A pleasant uneventful drive to West Memphis, AR to Tom Sawyer's RV Park, a beautiful spot right on the Mississippi River.  We had to drive separately which is different for us since the baseplate is not yet on the new truck.  Amazing, the truck got 22 mpg!  And that is super.

Not a bad view right from our campsite.

We'll get to Kelly's today and we are really looking forward to seeing the grandkids, it's been way too long since I've seen them.  Then we have several projects to attend to while there.  The new AC unit needs to be installed, and the old one sold?  The new air compressor for the leveling system needs to go on, the truck needs to get it's baseplate installed, the new braking system for the truck needs to be installed, and I'm going to drive Karen's motorhome back up to her place from Dallas, actually Weatherford where she has had a new beautiful wood floor installed.  The cold weather in Louisville prevented some of the stuff from being done there.  Hopefully, mother nature will cooperate in Texas.

How fast were you driving when you got the 22 mpg?

Since we were traveling together she was only going 66 mph and ended up getting 22.7 mpg, when we picked up the truck new we got 20.5 mpg driving from Greenville, SC to Atlanta and then to Louisville all at 78 mph. Around Louisville we got 17.8 mpg. All in all we are very pleased, this kind of mileage with the Hemi is fantastic.

It is always how you drive them.
