Homeward Bound - Day 24

Overnight: Pell City, Alabama (near Birmingham)

Today we were on the road at 9 A.M. However, we had to wind ourselves out of the woods and get gas. Next to the gas station, we found a Huddle House and decided that was a great first stop (even if we had only been on the road for 20 minutes). After our breakfast, we only filled the gas tank with $50-worth because we had to pay $3.23 per gallon.

The drive on Hwy 78 is very pleasant. It's the new road where we saw coal-loaded box cars on the way toward Albuquerque. So, it was smooth sailing. We did find a gas station in Birmingham that charged only $3.09, so we filled up. We had mostly used what we filled up with when in Tupelo.

We arrived in Pell City, AL, about 2:30 PM and decided that we'd grab our early dinner as we didn't want to unhook the car from the trailer tonight. We opted for Cracker Barrel. We arrived safe and sound at the Lakeside Landing Campground. Dave hooked up all of our utilities. Tomorrow morning we have to empty all tanks and not add anything other than storage water and cleaners as we will arrive home tomorrow.

After we unpack in the next few days, we will haul Homey-Roamy to Camping World to get some things repaired and get some maintenance done before our next journey in approximately 45 days.

Thanks for joining us on our Albuquerque Trek. We look forward to keeping a blog when we hit the road again. We will leave home sometime between mid-May and the first of June. I'll add one more entry to let you know that we did arrive home safely.

May God bless and keep all of you well and healthy.

Speaking of healthy, I'm off to get a bowl of ice cream.
