DAY 215: MONDAY, MAY 11, 2020: DEPARTING MAYBERRY RV PARK

Our alarm went off at 5 am, yes 5 am. We wanted an early start since we had 435 or so miles to travel today to Hershey, PA. 

By 6:30 we were on our way. No exercising, no running....ouch. It is going to be that kind of day.

The weather was sunny and warmer than yesterday. The big issue was the wind. No one in a high profile vehicle like ours wants to see signs, many signs on the highways that say: CAUTION SEVERE WIND WATCH. HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES MAY BLOW OVER. Really, and we are on these roads, on these highways in the mountains of North Carolina. We stopped for fuel along with many many 18 wheelers. It was WINDY.  More of those signs "decorated " the highways. Ugh!

By the time we reached Virginia, the wind had subsided. We were in the Shenandoah Valley. 

MORNING VIEW BEFORE DEPARTING




MISSED OUT ON SEEING ALL THE ANDY GRIFFIN SHOW MEMORIES 

We were able to catch up with Linda and David, my brother, Joan, and Michael. I had nothing but time. I called Muriel to see if she wanted to read us a book. 

Todd sent us photo of MOCCASIN, AKA LION STAR,  J 109 sailboat. We suggested he try a particular hull clear to bring back the luster of a hull that had oxidized! Incredible results...

OUTSTANDING RESULTS!

The remaining part of our trip was good. Most people were driving well at the speedlimit. It took us a while to get through VA but then the other states to Pa went quickly.

We stopped at 2 Loves for fuel during the day and arrived at Jonestown/ Hershey KOA Campground at 3:00. We FT with Muriel and she read us THE SUBSTITUTE CREACHER , a really cute book. We enjoyed it a lot. I particularly enjoy her intonation and emphasis when she reads. It is quite extraordinary for an 8 year old! 

GREAT JOB, MURIEL

We were freezing when we arrived. The wind was howling, and still is. For the first time in 7 months, we have put on the heater. Noe, it is almost toomhot. Lol.

Dinner was baked chicken with bisquits and a salad. 

At 7:00, game one. Time for FT with the Teacher Girls. 

We received a message from Claudia and Burt from Boca. They want to do a virtual drink ( well real drink) virtually shared. We had such a great time with them at Palm Coast. 

We had a great time catching up.
