Oh, I can't remember if I mentioned how the main road to Acadia had a big section of pavement out. Took a pic this time. I'm not sure we saw anyone working on the road either time.
Anyhoo, we got up early. Zack & I took the rental car, got gas, and dropped it at the airport while Chuck did some finishing touches on the camper. He picked us up and we pulled out right before 9am. It was a long day but we had a new audiobook and made 3 stops. We had several bad traffic areas, including the numerous toll plazas we had to drive through. Those are always an adventure: trying to find the right lane to get in, then hoping you can squeeze through, then trying to merge after to go in the right direction.
One of our stops was at a service plaza on a toll road. I think that was a first experience for all of us. Not pleasant. It was like a food court inside and each place had like 20 people in line. At least the restrooms didn't have a line. We will stick to our Flying J/Pilot truck stops when possible.
I found a campground in Jonestown, PA, to stop for the night. I told them on the phone we would be arriving after their office closed so they said they would leave a map with our name and site marked. We got there at 9:30pm. Just dark enough to make it hard to find and get into our spot. We got our map and found our site, and a neighbor came over and helped us back in. We slept in a little later, and I don't even remember what time we left. But, we had a good trip home and got back to Charlotte around 5:15. Oddly, Chuck got a cancellation notice email from that campground today. They had no idea we were there!
Chuck did try to talk the boys into stopping at Virginia Tech for the night (I guess he was going to just try to camp in a parking lot there?), but they didn't go for it.
Now we are home and missing the low temps and humidity. I have to keep telling myself, those people probably have a much worse winter!
