The trip (first leg)

So on the thursday after work, I got home attached the fifth wheel to the truck and we took off. Passing the border was our easiest ever, no traffic and no inspection as we usually have to go trough. This being our first real road trip with this new combination of truck and trailer I'm kind of curious to cross the Adirondack Park, it goes very well the truck pulls the load easily over the mountains. That night we make it to Woodstock home of the famous 1969 concert.

The next day we drove down to Natural Bridge in Virginia, called like this because of a natural arch first surveyed in the 18th century by none other then George Washington. We have been there before and spent the time to visit the surroundings. This time we were on the road with a deadline, we had to be in Destin, Florida on the monday morning for a conference my wife was attending. So we just stayed the night and hit the road the next morning.

On the saturday we drove down the 81 until it turns into the 40 down in Tennessee, our destination that night was in Chattanooga. When we got there the RV park was full, after verification they found a site but it was a tight fit If the fifth wheel would have been a foot more we could not get in. An interesting fact was that the RV park was on the site of a civil war battle.

On the sunday morning we took the 59 across Alabama until we reached Montgomery, then we took small roads south all the way to Destin, thanks to the time zone change that day we arrived at destination around 5h00 pm.
