The cat with ESP

It was a relief to finally hit the road after months of planning and checking the 5'er to make sure we brought everything we might need for the trip. First night is at Torreya State Park in the panhandle of Florida. Went about 340 miles which seemed like a decent day. Lots of love bugs were plastered to the truck and 5'er when we pulled in. Washed them off as soon as we set up.

We never did get everything organized before pulling out so there is still a pile of stuff that needs to be put away. We have at least 2-3 times more things that what we normally take camping. That plus the extra tools, a half tank of fresh water and the generators has the rig feeling somewhat heavier going down the road. Nothing the new diesel engine can't handle though.

Big hills in this State park reminds me of the mountains of Georgia in some ways. We did a little hiking after dinner and got a good workout. Mosquitoes were extremely thick which made for a brisk walking pace.

Our Cat has ESP and without a doubt knew what was up when we woke up this morning. We closed off her usual routes of escape to hide out and when it was time to go, she went limp when I picked her up and let me take her out to the 5'er with no complaints. Any other time I try to pick her up she starts with constant meowing to let me know she doesn't like being picked up. So she just knew what was coming and resigned herself to just get on with it.
