The winter of 2013-14 has been tough for much of the country, including Northern Virginia. We learned a new term, "Polar Vortex", which came to mean bitter cold, snow storms, and an unusually high number of snow days from work for Dana (Russ being already retired). Through it all we planned Dana's retirement and our trip to the Gulf of Mexico. Reading about Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama kept our spirits warm even though our toes were cold.
So, it seemed only fitting that there should be yet another snow storm two days before our planned departure, causing us a days delay. FINALLY, with kayaks loaded underneath and bicycles hanging on the back, we were ready to go, and hit the road mid-day.
