We Made It!

We made it! The BoggsMobile carried all of us 773 miles to Thomasville,  Alabama. It is wonderful to be here!

Resting a few minutes at a Love's in Indiana.


We took a detour the first day but it was necessary and totally worth it. Rather than going straight south, we went southwest to Evansville, Indiana to visit for a few hours with Bro Allen and Sis Tammy Harris at the hospital. Sis Tammy is still in need of a series of miracles to live and Bro Allen is depending on the Lord each day.

Thank you for helping us pray for our dear friends. I am thankful we can depend on the family of God when we face difficulties in life. Praise God!

Pulling out of a campground on Tuesday.


Over the next three days we covered the rest of the miles including two days driving and one day resting in one spot. Traffic was not bad with only three problem areas and only one of those was bad. We had the expected slow traffic in Nashville and Birmingham, but the worst was totally unexpected.


South of Evansville, I-69 turns westward and Pennyrile Parkway continues south but you make the transition via ramp. There was an accident on the on-ramp and the traffic on this bridge never moved.


We moved about two tenths of a mile in 30 minutes but we realized we only inched forward as people in front of us gave up and went the other way. Once we realized the traffic on the bridge was not moving and we had the opportunity to follow I-69 toward the west, we jumped on.

It took us another 33 minutes to take the next exit and double back to Pennyrile Parkway. The traffic we detoured around was still at a standstill. We drove 29 miles to get around and lost an hour total but the miles were totally worth it.

That made the second day an hour longer than it should have been so we decided to rest the next day. I walked in place on the bus a few times that rest day but I did not even go outside.

I am happy to report that driving the bus is going well and the shorter days seem to be working. I am tired from the cumulative effect of the multiple days, but hopefully, I will bounce back by Sunday.

We hope tp rest until Sunday and visit with family a few days. Here are a few pictures from Thursday afternoon and evening.




















Thank you for dropping in.
