So while we were sleeping at the Best Western in Radford, VA,.... it snowed!!!!
This is the scenery as we left early Sunday morning, and the weather in the Smoky mountains was snowy and -10 C. But we remained hopeful that as we drove further south the thermometer would rise!! And it did but only a wee bit. By the the time we got to Alabama it was hovering around +10 C and sunny. After lunch Jim noticed the hitch was pointing down toward the ground....NOT GOOD! He checked it out and saw the hitch was partially off the frame of the vehicle. Went to Walmart as everything is closed on Sunday, to try and get some kind of repair. They only do oil changes and batteries...trying to come up with a plan, Jim took his motorcycle off the trailer, repositioned my bike so the tongue weight was a lot lighter. Getting back on the road I was driving and Jim was following on his bike. We had at least 6 hours of driving left and the temperature got as low as 4 C by the time we made it to Destin, FLA at 1:00 AM. Jim was freezing and we were pretty tired, but arrived in one piece.
