DAY 216: TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2020: HOMEWARD BOUND FROM JONESTOWN/ HERSHEY , PA

It was 5 when the alarm went off. We hit the snooze twice. Breakfast was quick. Tom did the final dumping. I heard the tire guage alarm go off. Sure enough  the back starboard outside tire said 100 psi, 20 psi low. The worst was the back starboard inside tire was 15psi, right, 15psi. ah! 105psi off, LOW,

NEARLY 0 air.  We headed to LOVES. 

Do I really need adventure? Being with Tom is an adventure. Tom calls it "just another adventure" . I call it another PIA. I used to say on the boat:  "Hours of pleasure interrupted by moments of shear panic." 

On the boat it was different, though. We didn't have as many places to stop.  Well, the tech filled the tires supposedly. Now we are on our way hoping to arrive home safely. As we were driving I asked Tom about the tires because now I cant get the guage to read. I think he told the tech the wrong tire. Ugh.

To be sure, he is now stopping at FLYING J. Maybe we will make it home today.

Jann and Bill spoke so highly about Home Stay. We are happy we took their advice. Last night I wrote them a review, but I cant find it now

LIAM, GRACE, AND ELLIE, HOPE TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN THIS SUMMER

I am so happy they got to the beach.

MA  T, MY SECOND MOM. NOW THAT SHE IS IN NH WITH SUSAN, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE YO SEE HER.

Our multi year visits involved sharing Portuguese Sweet bread. She still looks great for 90+. 

Tire update: IT IS FLAT! We need to just our gauges, if they are in good working order. I knew something had to be wrong. All the other tires including the jeep tires, registered on the tire Gauge. 

Part of my review of Home Stay Rv Park and Recreation Area:

Somewhere I wrote a whole review of this amazing gem of a campground, tranquil, peaceful, and 

serene. The pond to feed the fish and turtles, the groves to run and walk through, the vineyard to sit

in, relax, and take in nature all make this campground idyllic. The hosts are incredibly hospitable and 

friendly. Their future plans make this place a farm camper's paradise to enjoy. 

We can't wait to return .

Flying J didnt have anyone to help. We went to a second Loves. The young man said the tire had no pressure. 

I vented to my "sisters". No exercise, tire travel issues, ugh. 

Adventures....

         TIRES OFF READY TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM

The rest of the trip varied between light and heavy traffic. We took the Tappan Zee rather than the GW Bridge in Ny. We stopped in Norwalk, Ct forba sandwich and bathroom bresk wothout getting outbof the RV. 

My high school friend John called to check on our progress. Always glad when he checks in so we know he is well. 

Long conversations with Todd, Michael, and Joan helped .  Mom called about Dad still not getting Talking Books. I called and left messges and did receive a call back. The woman said she would do her best to get some out from Idaho. 

Manny is posting photos of past 4th of July celebrations. Hector and Shirley, class act  Chief Marshalls:
