10/6 - Home at last

After nearly 15,000 miles we are finally home.  It was a few thousand more miles than we'd anticipated, but what's an extra 2,000 or 3,000 miles?  We are just very happy that we got home in one piece.


Very few pictures today....

Douglas Lake from I-40 in east Tennessee (formed by damming the French Broad River) was the lowest we've ever seen it. It doesn't sound like Hurricane Matthew will bring us enough rain to help much.

Getting close to the mountains which were obscured by air pollution.  

We were so fortunate not to be traveling west today. One of the westbound lanes was being re-paved west of Waynesville and traffic was backed up for seven miles. 

The only shot I could get of Vistas as we came down Dogwood Road. (For those who don't live here, ours is the blue one at top left, mostly obscured by trees.)


It was so good to see many of our wonderful neighbors when we arrived and Lovie was ecstatic to get lots of belly-rubs.  The cats are very happy to be home, already settled in like nothing ever happened. 


This has been the trip of a lifetime. We wish it weren't over but we have to return to normal life now.  We're glad to have had so many friends and family traveling with us and we've appreciated every comment on the blog.  We'll let everyone know the next time we hit the road and do a blog.
