SIT Cruising Again

November 16 – 26, 2015

Well, it has been awhile since The Life and Times of SIT was established, but guess what we are at it again.

We loaded up the fifth wheel and hit the road on Monday, November 16. We were heading to the Florida coast for a few months to see what life might be like on the Atlantic for longer than a couple of weeks at a time.

We took a different route to head east than our previous journey and it was nice to see new country. We traveled through Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and were only a few miles from Four Corners, but we decided to keep on driving.

Fall Colors Still

We hit one new state from when we did our two year trip. Oklahoma hosted SIT for a night. The part we traveled through was actually quite pretty. We did encounter wind, but heck we had wind pretty much from when we left home.

Oh Boy!

We were targeting to be in Milton Florida on Sunday the 22^nd to drop some things off for some friends and see John and Mary Ann, however Big Red decided it wanted a break. We ended up broken down on the highway about 30 miles southeast of Hattiesburg Mississippi on a Sunday. Funny, how breaking down on a Sunday, at the beginning of a holiday week can definitely change the dynamics.

The good news is that we were able to get towed eventually back to Hattiesburg and get the truck fixed on Monday. The challenge was finding a way to tow the trailer since any of the tow companies we called couldn’t tow both. Luckily one of the RV parks in town had someone willing to come get Steve and the Trailer. Izzy and I headed into town first with the truck and hung out at the RV park we were getting the trailer towed too. Well long story short we ended up at a different RV park, but got to eat dinner before midnight!

 

Are We There Yet?

We enjoyed a short visit with John and Mary Ann and we hit the road Thanksgiving morning. We targeted to get to Fort Pierce Florida around 4:00 in the afternoon however we had another hick-up that day. Needless to say, we learned the mileage limitation of the truck, and we had leftover chili I made for our Thanksgiving dinner.  So Thanksgiving was a bit different for us this year, but the main thing is we made it safe and sound and are very thankful for everything and all of you.

I will be sharing what we are up to throughout the winter so be sure and check back!
