Nov. 22 - Another long day behind the wheel. Gail, bless her little sleepy head, was up in timely fashion this morning, so we were on the road by 8 a.m. Down through the lower part of Pennsylvania, through Maryland, a little corner, and another little corner of West Virginia, and then the long drive down, across and down through Virginia. Around Richmond, and on to our second night stop, just outside of Fayetteville, S. Carolina. Most of our eastern friends are well familiar with this trek, so nothing new to report. Cool weather, no snow, driving easy, and the r.v. doing her job just beautifully.
Gas prices. Topped up in southern Pennsylvania at $2.19, thinking that was okay. Crossed the border into Virginia, and found gas was selling at $1.89. Quite a difference. Twelve bucks on 40 gallons! Later, just before we crossed into S. Carolina, we filled up for $1.89. Crossed the border, to find the price at $1.99. Big guessing game when crossing state borders. No matter, the prices are much better than at home, even allowing for exchange rates.
For two days, to stay alert, I've been calling out state or province license plates that can be spotted as vehicles go whizzing by. G records them on a list. So far we have 31 states and 5 provinces, plus Dist of Columbia. Nineteen states to go. Thought I'd done better than that, but that's the result.
On to Skidamore Island tomorrow, just outside of Savannah. Will be nice to have at least three days there, to relax and enjoy the temps as they gradually get better.
