(written on Sunday, published on Monday, after we found
wifi…gotta love McDonalds!)
300 miles, 40 mph average, 7.4 mpg average, and we made it!
Too late this morning, around 9:45-ish, we finally left for
the Big Adventure. In the misty fog,
Luke pulled the RV out of the driveway. Around 3 a.m, had begun to wonder if the car would trail
properly behind the RV or if we would have to unhook it and begin all over
after the RV left the driveway. No
worries, the car followed the RV perfectly.
Next, our first RV-in-the-Rest-Area shot! Here we are, snuggled in with the big rigs
and other RV’s, a hundred miles or so out of Roanoke.
It wasn’t easy, but we both managed to control the RV as we
pulled up the WV mountains --- 7.4 mph worth!
So, gas mileage isn’t so great.
But, we weren’t the slowest thing on the road! Well, not all of the time, anyway.
Smoke howled a good bit of the first couple of hours, then
found comfort in our laps, helped by the air conditioner blowing on her face
and sweaty paws. She really didn’t
settle down until long after we finalized our stop at our campsite for the
night. Then all was good – snacks, play,
love, and sleeping on the bed with us.
Oh, and the window, of course….
Here we are, nestled in the woods at the Graystone State
Park, Graystone, KY, for 2 nights. We
figured that we better take a day to recover from the first day’s trip. Tomorrow we’ll explore the area, go back into
town, and have an earlier dinner here at the RV! But for now, all is good, we are safe and
sound and tired/elated.
