Not much to blog about today for sure. Freeway, Freeway, Freeway. Some good, some really, really bad. We left New Stanton after a thunderstorm came earlier in the morning. It rained lightly on us most of the morning. But we stayed in front of that line of really, really bad thunderstorms all the afternoon. It followed us all the way here and hit about 15 minutes after we got everything set up (including the satellite dish on top of the RV) It got really black, blew and rained really hard. But then it passed and ESPNU is on and we're waiting on the Razorbacks to play NLU.
Had pork chops (forgot this was HOG day), broccoli, sauted new potatoes w/Tony's Creole seasoning, tomatoes for dinner. Laid back in the recliners now. We are tired from all the driving. And I just sat there.
Last night we went over our route again and just couldn't understand where the GPS was taking us...through a bunch of small towns when there was a bypass a block away. It was a 13 mile toll road and we couldn't find how much the toll would be (with an RV and 4 axles), but we gathered up a lot of dollars and change and chose to go that way. GPS kept trying to get us to exit but we kept on and paid the $2.45 (!) toll....then realized we had told him: NO TOLL ROADS, NO FERRIES, etc. So he was doing his job. But going that way saved us probably an hour.
We stopped only for diesel and a lot of it. Pennsylvania is beautiful, with rolling hills (big ones) and lots of trees. Porcupine was the road kill of the day, it appears. The hills were steep, long grades and really sucked the diesel. The freeways were good, some really good, until we got to the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton area. Oh my goodness, we had to slow to nearly 40 mph or slower to keep from bouncing all over...bone jarring. Ridiculous.
No pictures tonight. It's nearly 7 p.m. here and time for the ballgame.
Tomorrow, we plan a visit to NYC. We hope we can get there and get back. We have lots of apps on our phones to help. LOL.
