Light Snow Falling in Honoeye Falls!

We left Orrs island Wednesday afternoon and headed to Portland for dinner with the kids. After spending the night at Higgins Beach with Taylor and Tristan, we woke up to our 38th wedding anniversary, said adios and it was off to Alaska! Stopped first at Johnny's to borrow the space heater - we might need it! Then second stop, Rochester, NY to spend a few days with the Woods, rejigger the packing, and figure out what we should have taken with us. We packed all the winter clothes and wool socks!! Its going to be chilly!

The Great Outdoors

We bought the van (E-Series 150 cargo van) in late November and didn't start the conversion until sometime in late February. Working around the weather slowed progress. It got to the point where if it wasn't snowing with any temperature above 40F it started to feel toasty.

Given the weather and time constraints, we still have a few things to finish, the biggest of which is cutting a hole in the roof to install a fan. The weather forecast for Honeoye Falls is (surprise...) light snow and a high of 40F. So the fan work will have to wait until we get to the next stop west of Chicago, Somonauk, IL. After Somonauk, a night in Minneapolis and on to North  Dakota to Theodore Roosevelt National Park for a few days!!
