Getting in the Groove!
Loving Life-on-the-Road with The Beast and Lizzy. Leaving Cocoa, we spent January going around Florida, then along the Gulf Coast thru Louisiana & Mississippi to New Orleans. Looping back through mid-Louisiana & Mississippi, we visited all the Alabama NPs, and then headed on up through the Appalachians to the Jersey Shore. After a 6 weeks at home & 6 weeks with Northeast family (NJ & MA), we took off for the Great Lakes, making it to Lake Michigan, up to the UP and around (and on) Lake Superior. After a 2-week trip back to the NW, we went south on the Great River Road, SW on Route 66 and south into Arkansas. Home for the holidays, 7 weeks, from Little Rock. (updated 11/11/24)
