Jim and TereSo sorry you're having such a hard time getting out of Michigan. I went to school there for four years and know what you're dealing with.

Steve VWI've got 60 and 4 winters now, had enough. I am a slow learner.
We expected a late start to begin with but not having to wait almost 2 weeks to get a clear day.
It is partially me being stubborn. After that nightmare drive from hell coming home in Dec, I decided I am just not willing to travel with snowy roads, sloppy salt, single digit temps, etc. So here I am. This will not happen again...
Next year I will move the coach south before winter, leave it somewhere it wont need to be winterized.
Looks like Mon am is the day of escape.

Duane88Upper Popsicle is a beautiful place, but as with all beautiful things there is a price to pay, I guess you more than most of us know that.
The Snow has stopped here but as with you it is still going strong south of us and moving east!
You will be home Sunday so you can watch the Daytona Advance Auto Parts race at 3PM...and dream of Florida!!!
Good luck Steve!!!

Steve VWAwesome! Loooking forward to seeing you and relaxing in a warm place.
It looks like the big storm missed us this time. Chicago and Detroit got hammered, Ohio too.
Monday is looking good for escape. Only 23 degrees today but first sunny day in a while. Tomorrow and Monday look clear if not real warm. We are out of here soon!
Have Barth, will travel, finally

Duane88Well Steve as I look at Nascar practice and all the folks in TEE shirts and shorts, and I look at all the snow and cold out my door, I think of you stuck and plans a bit amiss. Hope you can get started Monday.
