Across many states in the northeast

It has been several weeks since my last post.  As I mentioned, we were heading back in the US and it would mostly be just a trip home.  It was a bit more than that, but only a bit.  After four nights in Acadia, we drove through Maine, New Hampshire ( all twelve miles of it on route 95), and Massachusetts.  We were going to stay overnight at the Connecticut Welcome Center.  But it wasn't very welcoming to us as it was closed for renovation.  There were a few campgrounds along route 84 in Connecticut.  We found one, though it was not very inviting.  We see again why Walmart is popular for just an overnight stop near the highway.

The next morning it was through Connecticut, New Jersey and on to our daughter's house for a visit and overnight.  The RV slept on the street and we slept inside.  The next morning we left early, stopped to visit a granddaughter in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  We got a chance to see her lovely new house, walk around her special places in town and have lunch together.  Thanks to everyone for the nice visits.

Then it was along route 81 which exits Pennsylvania and goes through about ten miles of West Virginia and about the same of Maryland and we entered Virginia.  We stayed at a lovely campground connected with Endless Caverns.  We arrived too late to visit the caverns.

Next morning had us back on route 81 and we ended the day at another favorite place, Hendersonville, North Carolina.  This is a nice campground that is a haven for Floridians in the summer.  We stayed for three nights.  Then it was Sunday, August 2 and we drove to home.  Our radio/GPS system developed a memory loss just as we were leaving for that final drive to South Carolina.  Fortunately, we knew the routes very well.  The system is now back at the factory for tests and repair.

Not so very exciting, eh?  But we got back safely, relatively healthy and ready to face the rest of South Carolina summer.
