April 6 - 7 - 8, 2014
After the Santa Fe Arts Festival closed on Sunday night, we began the long journey home to New York's Hudson Valley. Our first night's overnight was in the Georgia Visitor's center at the St. Mary's exit...we didn't make it that far...getting up early, doing show, packing to leave, dumping tanks, etc.
Our second night was spent at the Walmart in Winchester, Virginia.
Finally on April 8th we arrived home and it feels good to be home. There is much gardening to be done!
We have a small trip planned for Kring Point State Park in NY...otherwise we are home for awhile...nice!
A few notes on route 81 travel...
Coming and going to Florida this year we decided to avoid the whole NJ/Balt/Wash DC mass of congestion and go around the whole thing. Route 81 was our route south and route 64 took us to Richmond, VA and south on route 95 to Florida. We flipped it and did the reserve on the way back. I felt it was longer; David insisted he checked and it was only 100 miles longer. ROUTE 81 is a SERIOUS truck route....this is where ALL the trucks are...they are well behaved but they RULE this road en masse. When it is time to dry camp or pull over somewhere do yourself a big favor and avoid all rest areas and welcome centers on route 81 and even on route 64. The truckers are there in huge numbers in all the spots and they line the entrance and exit and often extend out onto the highway. There are comings and goings all times of the night; it is not the place for a quiet nights rest. We spent a quiet night in the Walmart on the way home. This area has quite a few to choose from.
