Day four

 OK something has to give here. I need a good nights sleep. Tonight’s overnight is at a Red Roof Inn.  Really modest pricing and a decent room. Very quiet location. Very positive experience. I slept.  Just into Virginia, barely.

Day six? Really?

 We got an early start. I had a fun FaceTime with Jeny and got to hear about her Iron Man experience. We left Winchester and made it through a part of West Virginia, a piece of Maryland, and we are now set up to camp at a beautiful park in Pennsylvania. We crossed the Susquehanna river today. If you would like to see what it looks like, this is somebody else’s photo, because if I tried to take a picture while driving we would be arranging for the wake now.  OK, pix come when I have more than one bar.  You’ll just have to wait.

Taking off for Nova Scotia!

I have coats (plural, and lots of blankets).  I have a solar panel to recharge the power supplies. I haven’t quite figured out all of the electrical but somebody will help me out with that. I have a solar panel to recharge the power supplies. I ha...

Day five

 I’ve made it all the way from the bottom of Virginia in Wyeth Ville to the pointy part at the top to a place named Winchester. The problem today is the weather. After having slept last night I feel a lot better. But I’m driving into a wall of water. Hell, thunder, lightning expected here all night, and I’m tired from a long day of driving across the entire state. We are not camping tonight. We stayed at another red roof inn, but talk about rowdy and loud and on a Sunday night my neighbors were playing loud music and I have to say I was a little unnerved by the amount of noise in the parking lot. But I took my hearing aids out, and I slept all night. Very different vibe at this red roof inn then the last. Brooklyn was not a fan of this hotel. The floors here were wood, and when she would try to jump up on the bed, (yes I sleep with my dog), her backseat with just slip and slide and she couldn’t really jump that high because of it. I put a halter on her so I could grab her when she ...
