I got up at 6 this morning. We leave as soon as all is packed. I checked the weather for Cape Girardeau. It looks like a week of rain and thunderstorms for the tour’s beginning.
We are ready, it is Monday, May 18. It’s almost 10 am, we drive out of the driveway and onto the road. We head west to New York to connect onto Route 87 and head south.
We stop in Newburgh, NY. for lunch at a rest stop on the highway.
At the connection to Route 81 south, the road work begins, and we slow to a crawl. I relaxed with this slow pace. The road finally opened back up, and the highway speed resumed. Nancy sees a yellow T@B up ahead of the row of four tractor trailers. The chase begins. We must catch that camper. As we pass, Nancy waves. My face is frozen with bugged out eye balls. The car slows a bit, but I’m shutting down.
Finally, we get to Mount Gretna and settle in for the night. Pizza is delivered, and I enjoy a few glasses of wonderful English Ale.
