Plenty of Driving Today!

Once we get on the road, Ken keeps his hands on the steering wheel and we keep heading down the road!  We drove from 60 miles into North Carolina to Ocala, FL, another 560 miles starting at 6:45 this morning and arriving at the Hotel (yes we opted for hotel living for another night!) at 6:00.  We stayed at the Comfort Suites both nights and they proved to be very nice accomodations. 

The drive has gone well except for about an hour today when a ABS light came on.  It has to do with the braking system.  It came on right before we got to the border of Georgia.  Made our hearts skip a couple beats, so we stopped at a rest stop and made a call to our diesel guy back home.  Since it didn't stay on, he says it is probably nothing to be concerned about if our brakes are working properly.  They are, so he said it is probably a malfunctioning sensor and we should just continue driving.  So, that is what we did and the light never came on again.  Hallelujah!!  Could we please just have 1 long trip without any "truck events"?  It would be so nice!!

We are hoping to be on the road no later than 8:00 tomorrow and arrive at our campsite at Naples sometime around noon!  It will be good to unload the truck and get "Willie" set up for our weeks in Florida.  We have so much "stuff" in the truck since it was below freezing till about 8:00 this morning.  All the canned food, cosmetics, drinks, electronics, etc. need to be put in place in the 5th wheel once we reach our destination tomorrow.  Also, we will have to dewinterize.  Then the fun and adventures begin!  We are ready!!!
