On the Road again

It is hard to believe, but we actually made out away from the cabin and hit the road.  We didn't get out as early as we would have liked since two friends on the mountain slowed us down for a long time.  It was time to say our goodbyes for the season and head for warmer climates.  It was time for us to get out of there and get these wheels rolling again.

We are presently at Pocahontas State Park near Chesterfield, VA for the next couple days.  The park is right off I-95 and very convenient to making a fast getaway on Thursday or Friday.   Our friends Carolyn and Mann live a few miles from here and we will drive over there on Wednesday to visit with them.  We last last them in August when they stopped in Gettysburg, PA and we drove down to visit with them.  We never run out of things to talk about with them and enjoy their company.

It is so nice to be on the road and get the hitch itch under control.  Today was a short drive of 250 miles, however the traffic was horrendous on I-81 and US 17 near Fredericksburg, VA.  It took us over 40 minutes to travel about 7 miles.  Gridlock at the lights and people jumping line at the last minute.  I don't know how the people who live in that area could stand it every day.  

I-95 was like a parking lot for about 8 miles and then freed up and it was clear sailing.  

Now it is Yuengling time for me and a glass of wine for Gerry.  I hope we sleep good tonight and can get back some lost energy.
