Westward Ho!

The time has come for us to start the return trip to Washington.  Bidding a sad farewell to Mike, Staci and the grandkids we hit the road on Tuesday, January 5th.  We decided to drive for 5-6  hours a day then stay an extra day to see the local sights.  This plan worked out well and we stopped in Tallahassee, Florida for the first night.  This was our first visit to this city and we drove all over downtown and visited several parks in the area.  On to Mobile, Alabama for our next overnight stop.   The good weather left us at this point as the freezing weather hit us hard.  Dipped to the 30’s with a  nasty wind that had us quickly digging in our wardrobe for long sleeve shirts and heavy jackets.  We turned the furnace on but found both propane tanks  empty so relied on the electric heater until we got them filled.   Moving on to Shreveport, Louisiana we stopped at Diamond Jacks Casino.  Very nice park located next to a railroad, which seems to be a requirement for most RV parks these days.  It was also right on the Red River which is very high right now due to the most recent floods in the area. Walked over to the casino to check out the area but was surprised to find it was very small compared to Las Vegas standards.  Cold nights but warm days we knocked the ice off the awning as we left in the morning headed west to deep in the heart of Texas…well maybe just inside the border!

INGRESS

Ingress Report:  We had hoped to level up to 15 by Christmas…shopping and grandkids delayed us with school pickups and short hacking days.  Moved our self imposed day to New Years week which passed way to fast.  So we decided to level up at the same time in Shreveport on our anniversary date for playing.  It took us awhile to get everything set up but once again we both became Level 15 agents at the same time. We are both headed to the highest level…16…for Ingress only a mere 16 million AP away. Onward and upward as we collect uniques and missions on our way home.
