October 1--Traveling!

Well, we got up to lots of water in the form of fog. We packed up our wet tent and listened to the wolves as we ate breakfast. Then we headed out to our destination for the night, Mt. Holly, PA. I got some great pics of a beautiful 2 lane we were on early in the morning, riding through the fog.

After we had been on the road for a couple of hours, we decided that we should pick a different destination for the night, since we would be at camp by noon at the rate we were going. So we reprogrammed the GPS for Front Royal, Virginia, the northern entrance to the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park, and then we kept to the freeways and made time and miles.

We got stuck in an awful traffic jam just after Harrisburg, PA for about a hour. They were doing construction repair work on the highway, and merged it down to one lane. Unfortunately, the work was being done right after an intersection of two major highways, so you actually had six lanes merging into 1 lane. Yuck! We just got through that mess, and then it started to rain! So we called it lunchtime, and got off the freeway to let Steve’s throttle hand take a rest, and hope the rain slowed.

After lunch we got back on the interstate and headed to Front Royal. So we traveled today through NJ, PA, MD, WV, and finally ended up in a campground right outside Front Royal, about 2 miles from the entrance to the Park.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day, and we’ll head south on Skyline Drive and see how far we get. We’ve talked to folks this evening in camp who said that 25 mph is a good speed since there are lots of turns and deer!
