'18/#5 Running Away From Home?

Today will be our last day in Pharr Texas. Everything that needs to be stowed for the trip is put away and the rig is starting to look a little less like home. That isn't a bad thing. It just means that the pictures and trinkets we put out when we stay in one place for a while are not out. It also means that the rig looks a lot cleaner and neater than usual. As my Mom used to say "My home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy.". Another way of putting it is it looks "lived in".

We were contemplating leaving today but we were tired from all the pre-travel preparations. Also the forecast was rain most of the day. We don't mind breaking camp and traveling in the rain but if we don't have to, we won't. Another case of plans being written in jello. Flexibility is a necessary tool when living on the road. Today is just a lazy day of resting, reading, and internet activities so we can start fresh first thing tomorrow morning. First thing could be as early as 4am so tonight will be an early night.

We have said all our goodbyes to the residents in the park who are still here and also the staff who we worked with all winter. After being here for five months it feels like home. We will miss the friends we have made here but we will be returning next year so there were no tears this time.

We are looking forward to the summer in Montana and are sure the time will fly by soon to find us heading back to our home here in Pharr because....

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
