Today we returned to the road with a much more respectable drive of 221.1 miles (95,588.6 total) making our way to Cottonwood, AL (next to Tuscaloosa and the Crimson Tide).
We were a little sad to leave but the cold and the overnight freeze (in the 20s) provided the incentive we needed to get going.
The fall colors were in full swing,...
...but the winter temps were creeping in.
This says "time to hit the road and head west."
Our first stop in Alabama was the Speedco in Cottonwood where we had the oil and filters changed. I was a little worried when they seemed to have a difficult time removing one of the fuel filters. It was pretty mangled by the time it was finally out. I'm sure everything went well after that - the engine started right up and nothing seemed to be leaking.
We settled the bill and crossed the road to fuel up at the Pilot where we also parked for the night. I had to back in really deep to get the coach level enough to operate the refrigerator. It was all good since the car had already been disconnected for the oil change and that also allowed us the opportunity to drive down the road for dinner. I love it when a plan comes together. It was cold again overnight but we had plenty of propane for the furnace which kept us toasty warm in our coach.
