A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

A journey of many thousand miles begins with hitching up the Airstream! We now have over two hundred miles under our tires and are staying in a hotel in Independence, Ohio. (There are no campgrounds open in this area.)

We woke up this morning and it was snowing - in Buffalo, of all places. But by 9am it had stopped and the sun tried to come out. We said good-bye to Kathryn without whose help this venture would have been a lot harder to launch.  She gave up a good part of her house to store our Airstream items.

Thank you for your help, Kathryn. We are grateful!

We then went to the campground and did our first hitch unsupervised; it only took us an hour. But, after stowing inside items for travel, we were on our way. We kept our speed to 55 mph and despite frequent snow squalls, sometimes producing white-out conditions, we made steady progress.
