Our 5th winter of retirement

We are on the road south once again.  Our 5th winter trip to Lo de Marcos, Mexico.  We are not in a hurry this year as we are not scheduled to meet up with our friends in Tucson until the 15th or 16th of November.  No rush to enter Mexico as there has been more rain than usual so the weather is still quite humid and uncomfortable..

We left one week earlier this year in the hopes of escaping the freezing weather.  No luck!  The winds were strong on the drive through Ontario and Ohio yesterday. Last night we stayed near Lima, Ohio with temperatures dipping to -3C (26F).  We boondocked at a Flying J Truck Stop parking lot.  Luckily we had an inverter which ran our electric blanket and we had the furnace on low at 10C (50F) to prevent the water pipes from freezing without draining the motorhome batteries..

Today's drive through the hills of Kentucky with ever changing scenery was beautiful compared to previous years' drive through Indiana which wasflat and endless farmland.

We are currently parked at Singing Hills RV Park just outside the Mammoth Caves National Park in Kentucky.  We plan to spend the weekend exploring the area and taking tours of the caves.

Here is a link to info about this area: Cave City, Kentucky
