On the Road...Finally!

Wednesday, November 9

Hitched up to the new truck and ready to leave

Yes, we're finally on the road.

You'd think that nothing else should go wrong, but when we called to find out if the new refrigerator had been installed since we hadn't heard from the dealer, they told us that they had left a message earlier saying it was in and working.   We hadn't gotten any messages.  Would you believe they had our phone number transposed?

It was a beautiful sunny day, nearly 70 degrees.  Keith decided that we should take the turnpike west to Carlisle and pick up Interstate 81 South through MD, WV, and into VA.  He wants to avoid I95 around Baltimore and DC.  Traffic was light and it was a nice drive.

Calvin had a good day too.  When I checked on him at our first rest stop, I found him sleeping in our bed "under the covers." 
 
After 3 1/2 hours, we arrived at Candy Hill campground in Winchester, VA.  We planned not to drive too far on the first day since we didn't know how early we'd be able to leave.  At 3 p.m., we were one of the first campers to pull in, but by 4:30 we had a lot of neighbors. 

Tomorrow, we'll pick up Rt 64 East to Interstate 95 South.
