Rolling...

It feels good to be an RVer again.

As planned, we rolled out at first light.  In the fog...

Looking down the ICW as we crossed the bridge heading off the island...

It is almost 40 miles on back roads to where we store the HitchHiker; it was foggy most of the way.  First that I've seen something like this...

Kinda looks like a gray rainbow - it is a shaft of fog that is thicker than the rest.

We rolled up to the storage unit with the truck and cargo trailer...

More stuff to load into the 5th wheel, time to hook up, pull out the HitchHiker, then back it up to the cargo trailer.  Our "train" is ready to roll.

We really aren't on a schedule, other than hoping to miss some rainy windy weather as we drive across west Texas.  The goal for this first day out: get past the San Antonio area, get down for the night, sanitize our water system, then chill out.  It all played out.  Little Izzy traveled fine; she spent most of the day sleeping in her carrier; occasionally coming out to eat and look around.  We managed to roll through San Antonio (the 8th largest city in the country) at the early part of afternoon rush hour and missed any slow-downs.

We called ahead to an RV park west of San Antonio, asking if they had a long pull-through for us.  "We have one that is about 120 feet long... it does cost a little more, though."

"We'll take it."  I wanted something easy, where we didn't have to unhook.  I knew it was going to take a while to get our water system sanitized and flushed, and I wanted to get that done in the daylight.

Down for the evening...

It was a lovely day - very little wind, plenty of sunshine, and we saw a high of 80º along the way.  That will change tomorrow: west Texas is supposed to be gray, occasional rain, high in the 50s, lows in the 30s.

Happy to be RVing.  :-)
