Roadtrip

Just a quickie update. Access to internet has been nonexistent since last Friday. I've been so busy I haven't even uploaded pix into the computer.

We left last Wednesday 8/28 and headed for Foamhenge (near Roanoke VA), a lifesize replica of Stonehenge but in styrofoam. Pix coming.

We spent the night at Crabtree Falls  CG. Beautiful but 8 cylinders would have helped a lot. We had to stop for an hour to let the brakes cool on the way out.

Thur. visited Shenandoah Cavern. Very interesting. Pix coming. Then on to the East Harrisburg Campground which sounded sketchy but turned out to be a very nice place. Ate dinner and breakfast Fri at the Capitol Diner, a modern attempt at a classic 50s style diner.

Fri. afternoon arrived at wedding area near New Paltz NY. After some fiddling around, wound up at Creek View Campsites for three nights (no wifi, no tv). More on this later. Ate dinner at Eggs Nest Restaurant, blew off the shindig at Kat & Mason's house, and crashed.

There will be lots more on the wedding celebrations and pix to come, too. It was a fabulous time.

Left NY on Mon. am heading for Scranton PA and an afternoon spent at the Houdini Museum for a tour and a magic show. Then decided to treat ourselves to a motel room with wifi and tv, so that's where we are now. Ate dinner at Terry's Diner which has been here since the 1950s.

Heading out today for Penn's Cave, the only water-filled cave to tour by boat. And then State College KOA for two nights.

The rig has performed very well and the mileage has been good. Oh yeah, one of the support legs broke so the desktop fell down, mostly as a result of the ghastly state of Pennsylvania's road, including the interstate. Nothing was harmed but it's a pain. Amy rigged up bungee cords to keep it up for now so the other bracket doesn't tear out of the wall, too.

More later.
