5/5/26 Quick catch-up….we left Marathon 🥲 March 26 to start our journey north for the season. Much like last summer & fall, we are going to spend time with kids, grandkids, parents, etc….in Tennessee and Michigan this year. My Mom is turning 90 at the end of this month, so we have to celebrate that in Michigan for sure…and for those that might not be aware, we have a non-verbal 8 yr old grandson (also in Michigan) with autism spectrum disorder. We’ll be sharing most of our summer between grandson and mom…as well as seeing our other kids and grands in Tennessee. Yep, going to be a busy season. As for our journey the last 6 weeks, it’s been quite uneventful and smooth, other than the need to replace the big start battery and while at it I also swapped out the generator battery. We’re glad we got indication of a failing battery while in Fairhope Al, on Mobile Bay, as we were heading from there up the river system where there are definitely fewer services. We were hustling pretty good this year but a few of our stops and highlights before Fairhope were…Everglades, Marco, Cape Coral, Cayo Costa, Steinhatchee, and across the pan handle. Didn’t spend as much time as we’d like enjoying everywhere, but we did our best. We did add another solar panel (200 watt) before we left Marathon and finished the project along the way. It’s working wonderfully and it’s made a significant improvement. Thanks as always for following and we’ll leave a few photos here catching y’all up. 😁😁
