The day that Greg was supposed to leave, we had a "monster storm" that dropped lots of snow followed by high winds and cold. The highway between southern Minnesota and northern Iowa (his travel route) was closed due to being covered with snow and ice. So, we spent the day digging out in Minnetonka while waiting for another day to pass hoping that the road conditions will improve.
This year, Greg is traveling down to Florida with his good friend, Dave Larsen, who is picking up his new trailer in St. Louis, MO. They will be traveling to the Fort Myers area, setting up campsites, and then picking up Dave's wife (also named Betsy) and me who are flying into Florida at the end of next week.
Greg left this morning at about 6:30 am. Dave was about 6 hours ahead of him and reported the roads "weren't great" from Minneapolis to mid Iowa, but hopefully will continue to improve. Dave will wait for Greg in St. Louis and then they will caravan on together until they reach the campsite in Florida.
