A week in Hotels with Ice and Snow everywhere

Have not posted in a while, just been working and getting stuff done, not much to write about.

We did a whirlwind trip the past week, we left Tallahassee FL on Sunday afternoon, (Left the 5th Wheel in our Tallahassee Home Base) and spent the Sunday Night in Montgomery AL, then left for Nashville Tennessee on Monday Morning.
Nashville had a Ice Storm and Snow like they had not had in many years, it was a mess, roads closed, schools and many businesses closed, driving was difficult with all the black ice.


Tuesday morning view out of our Hotel room in Nashville, it was COLD and lots of ice on the road.

 

Wednesday morning view of the Hotel parking lot in Knoxville TN as we were putting our stuff in the truck.

 

 

 

We left Nashville heading East on I-40 towards Knoxville TN, the roads were covered with ice and snow, had to run about 45 Mph most of the way to Knoxville. We wanted to stop by our SIL parents house in Cosby TN Wednesday morning and see his dad as he was not doing very well and was on hospice care. Unfortunately we did not make it in time as he passed away late Monday night / early Tuesday morning. We did get to stop by and see his mom and the rest of the family for a few hours, but we had to be in Myrtle Beach SC by Wednesday night so we said our goodbyes and braved the roads again.

We stopped at the North Carolina rest area on I-40, top of the Smokey Mountain pass.

 

Was snowing pretty good at the NC rest stop.

 

,We arrived in Myrtle Beach SC Wednesday afternoon for a couple of nights, weather was not too bad but the cold was headed t way.
Did my site inspections on Thursday and filled out the reports, it was windy and cold by Thursday.
We got everything done, went to dinner with our local tech and planned on a early start for the trip back to Tallahassee on Friday morning.
Friday morning the temperature was 12 degrees with a wind chill of 1 degree.
We were glad to get on the road and head South back to Florida.
We made it back to our Home Base and our 5th Wheel in Tallahassee about 4:30 Friday afternoon after a stop to pickup mail at our Daughters house and stop at the office to check in with the bosses.

We will be here at our Home Base for the rest of the week then heading South to Tampa FL next Monday 3/2.
Our  5th Wheel has a water leak (drips on the bed right where I sleep, most likely the A/C unit seal) taking it to Lazy Days in Tampa for a 3/3 appointment to get it fixed under warranty and a few other minor items taken care of a the same time.
