We covered 500 miles today over the course of 11 hours but the early hours of our day were not easy ones. Hookup Monday night was a cinch…..Linda backed the truck in and on the first try she lined it up and we were hitched. What a woman ! This was our window of opportunity from the time I got off work till the monsoon hit. I did as much as I could outside in between rain showers but some things needed to be left till morning. All night long it poured down….Why is it in a summer with a record number of days WITHOUT rain, it decides to pour down the day we need to pack up and pull out. We awoke to a pond outside our door…We had to wear our aqua sock shoes because there was about 3” of standing water to wade through to get to the truck (that is hooked to the RV). I think there is a livelihood awaiting us as rain shamans for any county in need of rainfall. It has never failed us yet that we get a downpour when we need to take the rig out for a trip.
The day was spent driving through PA and Ohio. We spent Tuesday evening 6 miles from the Indiana border at a rest stop. I thought PA’s roads were bad…Ohio has some mighty wicked ones too. I 76 was horrible! I 70 has been pretty good. We’ll see what awaits us in Indiana.
The pooches can’t quite figure out what is going on. Their house is squished up and there’s no place to romp and stretch out like there usually is. Needless to say they are very confused. No Law and Order playing on the TV. What is the world coming to ?
So far on the first two tank fulls of diesel fuel we’ve gotten 9.9 miles to the gallon and 8.3 miles to the gallon. Not too shabby for a big house, big horse to pull it and a 600# motorcycle on the back.
