Homer Simpson and the banjo are obvious - why the roadrunner?

Not long after we moved to the Crystal River FL area in the early 1980s, Connie became very involved in scouting with our son.  She was on the road so much and put so many miles on her car that her best friends husband gave her the nickname "Roadrunner".  The name stuck and later another friend presented her with a stuffed one that has proudly ridden in her car ever since.  Unfortunately that one is bigger than Homer and a plastic toy one based on the cartoon series with the coyote has been selected to travel with us.

Our Adventure Begins

Welcome to our travel adventure blog.  After 30 years working in the nuclear power industry I have finally retired and will be sharing our travels with friends and family.
Our original plans were to cross the Mississippi river several times as we head north.  Mother Nature has cause us to revise the plans somewhat as our truck and RV probably aren't real stable when floating.
We will be looking at an RV friendly trip up the Blueridge Parkway to VA and then take the old crooked road (58) to KY.
More later when we have firmer plans.
