Welcome to the Ice Box Journey

Day one, and we begin by starting the rig and furnace, then driving off to Denny's for breakfast while it warms up after being out int the cold, wind and snow all night!

After hooking up our TOAD (RV lingo for towed behind vehicle, in this case my Saturn VUE) and topping of the gas tank, at Irving, NY, odometer reading 16,666. Are those ominous numbers, I wonder?

Despite the mechanic's best efforts, there is still cold air blowing in through the dash and defroster. So we've bundled up with double socks, double slacks, and wrap in our Indian Snuggie blankets.  At the early end of the road, Bernie exclaimed "we'll follow the dark lines on the white road!" Meaning we'll stay in the tracks though the snow covered highway!

 All in all, as the weather cleared, we managed nicely, with a couple of briefs stops, and one short nap, arriving in Beckly, WV, our first goal met! A brief shopping spree at Walmart for groceries, and we're hunkering down for the night.

Tomorrow's goal, Charlotte, NC.
