Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well we are "On the Road Again"! Can't you just hear old Willie singing now! We left Reynolds about 8:45 edt this morning. Only 1900 miles and 28 hours of driving to reach Cave Creek, AZ and Mike and Paula Cotten's house! Since the way south way thru Houston didn't look so good with rain today, we are going I-20 thru Dallas and then down to I-10. We are just outside Selma, AL now. Weather has been great so far. Looks like we might see storms tomorrow. We will probably get somewhere in Louisiana before we stop for the night. Haven't seen too much to take pictures of yet!
More later! |

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
We made it to Shreveport, LA last night and stayed at the Horseshoe Casino parking lot. We called Bobby Brannon and he came over and had dinner with us. It was really great to see him! Our plans are to get another 600 miles down the road today, but that won't even get us out of Texas! Boy this is a big old state! We will spend over 800 miles here! Looks like we are going to be into rain soon. Hopefully no hail or really bad weather!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
We made it another 600 or so miles thru Texas today! We are still about 700 miles from the Cotten's. We were delayed about 2 hours and had to get off the interstate and go 50 miles out of the way after they closed I-20 both directions because of an accident with fatalities. At least we made it here safely. We are in Odessa, TX on a dead end street beside a Sam's Club with a bunch of truckers. There were signs all over the Sam's and Walmart "No Overnight Parking", so we are on the street.

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
 This is Larry cleaning the windshield this morning so I could take pictures thru it.  The US and Texas flags thru the windshield with the wipers going in the rain.  1018 miles to go!  Inching up to the next exit for the detour  Meeting the other big trucks on the detour, too!  Back on I-20 again feeling sorry for all those we are meeting that have to get off and do what we just did! |
