Moving On Down The Road

We woke up the next morning to find ourselves in a parking lot. Cool huh!

Moving into Maryland

Then West "By God" Virginia

Then Virginia

Everytime we take this route, we pass the New Market Battlefield and also say we must stop someday. Well this time we sopped.

 

We were suprised to find that there were only a couple of cars there.



Original uniforms

Strange things happen!





Some info on the flag below.

A lot of history can be found here at the battlefield and we enjoyed our tour. If your ever passing, try to stop in.



We are in Ravine, Pa.

It's about 8:30 AM and we are ready to hook up the Jeep and head out from the "Driveway"

Mike and his family came out to say goodbye and Mike even helped me with the hitch, hmm I wonder if he's trying to rush me along. We are going to miss them. I guess something good came out of those five months we waited to close.....we feel like they are a new part of our family.

We figured we would take our time and travel the Mass. Pike to 88, then to 81. We even had time to get some religion along the way.

The traffic was light but there was a lot of road repairs going on everywhere and that slowed us down.

 We passed through the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

Then I got to sing "I Love New York"

And here we are crossing into Pa.

After about nine hours of driving and 457 miles, we figured we stop at a truck stop and have dinner. Just short of the truck stop was this area where the state dump their road gravel. It was perfect with a lot of room to park and open the slides. Better than a Walmart. I love these places.

So tomorrow we will take our time because Pigeon Forge is still about another nine hours away and we may do another free night somewhere. Time for something cold and kick back....goodnight!

Preparing For Departure

Tomorrow we will be heading out to our first destination Pigeon Forge. After a short stay there we will continue to Nashville.

As our luck has it we will be traveling in the rain and I hate driving in the rain. Well, it's better than sitting in the driveway waiting to leave!

It Has Finally Happened

Well after five months of waiting and living in our coach in our driveway, we finally closed on our home. These are the new owners and their two little girls. They are a very nice young couple and over the past five months we have come to feel like they are part of our family.

We will be leaving our driveway home next Wednesday after we take care of the loose ends. At that time we will be heading to the Tiffin factory in Red Bay Alabama to have some items fixed on the coach. Not sure where we will be heading after that but our new full timing adventure is about to begin. YAHOO!!!!!!
