192 miles almost entirely on I-75. Truck miles: 192.
Much to my surprise, I exited my Florida home site exactly as planned – 11am Sunday April 11. As always, I held my breath for the first 20 miles, hoping that the GMC would not throw a shoe. It didn’t. Rusty and I made it to Wildwood with no vehicle problems.
Which is not to say that the trip was a joy because it wasn’t. The long Florida drought was broken on my first travel day by a heavy thunderstorm which harassed me most of the way. At times my speed was down closer to 40 mph than the posted 70 mph. But the storm took a break just as we arrived, which allowed me to unhitch and set up without getting drenched. I even got Rusty walked and safely in the RV before the rain resumed.
So… a successful start to TN7.
