Captivity: Day 5

When it comes to the advantages of living in a motel, a bath tub and smokin' hot wifi only go so far.

We are so ready to get out here!!!

Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate with our plans to explore Clear Lake. The temperatures plunged, the winds howled, rain fell and even briefly turned to snow! So, no sightseeing for us. Instead, we've spent seemingly endless hours watching the walls close in on our little two-room suite. The cats have yet to really get comfortable here. Nobody has slept particularly well.

We're all homesick!

With all this smokin' hot wifi, I did some serious catch up on our travel blog. If you're interested in reading about where we've been lately, check out the fresh entries about our drive through Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, exploring two sides of the Smokies, our day trip to Nashville, our very relaxing and fun time at Defeated Creek, our overnight in Whittington, a couple of days in Iowa City and our fun weekend with friends in Thompson.

Wow! I've been busy.

We're getting sprung from this joint in a couple of hours. We'll grab some lunch, kill an hour or so, then spring our moose from the hospital. Hopefully everything will be in tip-top shape. After five days in the factory service center, one would think so! Our fingers are most definitely crossed.

If all goes as planned, we'll take off from Forest City bright and early, and will arrive in our home park in Kansas City tomorrow afternoon. We won't have smokin' wifi again until then. So, we'll see you later on the outside!
