62! Wow! It's like you moved to Florida! Yes, it will be a very long road trip. I will likely be going to "straight through" norther route, but yes, it will definitely still be winter up in the mountains. I will be taking lots of pictures, I'm sure!
Since we are in a small rental, I am going to drop off most of my tropicals with my sister in Texas and just bring my indoor/low-light plants with me. I will bring my air plants and some other various things, but my plumeria, adenium obesum, etc. are all going back home to Texas (at least until we have some actual space).
Oh, that is definitely not good about the water. At least the Navy is paying for the filters and the cleanup. I hope not too many people were actually affected.
