"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Issac is knocking on the Door!


Issac_track

Hurricane, or Tropical Storm, Issac has our home in its sights.  As it stands right now, the projected path has the eye passing just West of home.  The Eastern side of the storm is the worse place to be, as that is the quadrant that spawns the most tornados. We made the decision yesterday to move near Colorado Springs for the next two days.  That way we can be home in a couple of more if needed after the storm has passed.  We are fortunate that we have great friends and neighbors that can do the prestorm preparation for us.  Also have a daughter and sil nearby that we couldn’t do without.  We will talk to them a lot in the next two days.  If we dodge the bullet with no damage, we will continue our journey for the next few weeks.  If things go the other way, we’ll leave Colorado Springs Thursday morning heading for home……jc

  1. Hope all goes well. It looks like we are going to miss the worst of it here in the FL panhandle, since Isaac decided it liked LA better.

    We sure hope that you will be able to continue your journey and not have to go back home for the wrong reasons!
