Standing on the Verge

 

It appears that tomorrow will be the long anticipated Big Day, the day we actually head west on our Alaska journey.  We arrived in Dothan on Saturday and have been finishing up the last of our business. Camping World went over the travel trailer today and pronounced us good to go.  We are exhausted, exhilarated, and a little scared. We have already made some changes to our plans due to the Sequester and the flooding so we are not sure where we will be tomorrow night. We have had our first (minor) disaster also. Since the TT was already in south Alabama, we had to bring all our gear south in our uncovered utility trailer. In anticipation of a 90% chance of up to two inches of rain, we bagged and doubled bagged everything and wrapped it in a tarp. The only real casualty was the bag that contained our 2006 Rand McNally Road Atlas, our Woodalls Camping Guide, and my notebook full of itineraries and places of interest. The Atlas is toast, the Camping Guide is a soggy mess, and I am trying to dry out the notebook.  I hope this is the worst thing that happens
