FAST TRACKING ACROSS THE STATES

Moving along from one state to another and making great time.  Denis did some careful planning and worked out our travels back to New England nicely.  We stay one maybe two nights at a Walmart and then he's booked us into a campground for two or three nights.

Stayed here for a few nights

Nice open woodsy campground
Driving in a diesel coach is much nicer than our old gas one.   I'm much more relaxed, the ride is smoother, quieter and more stable.  Denis loves driving it and keeps repeating that it practically drives by itself.  Well, I'm not so sure about that, because I tried driving the beast for a bit and found that gas pedal difficult and uncomfortable.  Now I understand why Denis uses the cruise control all the time.

Diesel at $1.85 a gallon

Walmart parking lot in Rock Hill, SC
The most quiet Walmart so far

Saw this at a rest stop and wondered
where the other half was
Yesterday we checked into Stoney Creek Resort & Campground in Greenville, Virginia.  This is our first time visiting the park and it's nice but certainly not a 5-star resort.  The sites are large, lots of trees, narrow but sturdy bridges over the multiple brooks running through the park and most of the roads are broken up asphalt and/or gravel.   It's definitely a summer hot spot for locals and lots of the sites are permanent.  Unfortunately, it may rain the entire time we're here but that's okay because we can catch up on stuff we've been putting off.

not used to so much green
Finally we found out why my washing machine only fills with hot water.  The hoses were reversed.  Just like that, Denis reversed them and now I have cold, warm and hot water.  Thank you Denis for calling tech support and getting to the bottom of it.

Today we took the time to schedule our summer plans and I think we're going to have a fun time with family and friends.  We'll be spending a lot of time at Moody Beach, Maine, some time in Quebec and Connecticut and a tour of the Canadian Maritimes.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi.
