Well, it's finally time. We will be heading out late this afternoon -- figure we will get a 3-5 hour headstart rather than just leaving tomorrow morning. I was able to change our reservation at the Fort -- we will be arriving on the 1st now instead of the 2nd. Will give us a day to relax before jumping into the parks.
My crew: Me, my wife Michelle, daughter Clarissa (12), son Caleb (10), daughter Liberty (4), and daughter Brooklyn (1). My older sis will be flying out from Denver and meeting us there on the 2nd. A family friend (she started off as our babysitter, now we call her friend) will be flying out with her toddler son on the 3rd. She has had a tough life. Her mother walked out on their family when she was nine, never to be seen again. Her husband took off and left the country shortly after their son was born. She is a good person -- this was our gift to her for Christmas.
We will make it as far as Independence, MO, tonight -- and Columbia if we are lucky. Then hope to camp around Nashville Friday, and somewhere in southern Georgia for New Year's Eve.
Just for Born 2 Fish, I went out and picked up a small camera that can fit in my pocket. Will post pics at some point. Not sure if we are going to have internet access on the trip (if we do, that means my work can get a hold of me).
See ya at the Fort!

Nashville as far as I can remember doesn't have any CG's close to I-24 but if you can go another 25 miles to Manchester there is a KOA right off the interstate. There may be signs for a CG near Lavergne /Smyrna, believe me, you don't want to stay there.
