We are ready to leave the Quality Inn at 8:30am...QT's and Gram, can you believe it? We are always the last in and the last out at our camping club campouts, but we want to get as far south as we can. We probably got 7-8 inches of snow here yesterday, and another storm is coming so we're out-of-here!
Little rig problem...the refrig isn't switching to propane as it's power source now that we're not plugged in. Joe, the auto light is on, and when we push the gas button nothing happens. The propane is turned on...it wasn't and we hoped we had fixed it when we turned it on, but no. We're going to get out of this awful weather and then really trouble shoot this problem. Hamm RV fixed this once before--it was a spider nest someplace important, so we might call Paula to see if she can help. Just had the propane tank filled and discovered the gauge on the tank is broken and we really didn't need propane at all. Wonder if the two things could be related?
Steve is warming up the rig for Pippin and I right now; it's in the single digits here now. He's also going to bring the rig up to our door cuz my side is snowed in. I just hope we don't get into another tight turn situation. Towing a car makes us a bit less maneuverable, for those of you who have never done it...no backing up...sort of like driving that old beater which has lost reverse!
The route we took today is as follows (this is for you, Barb) : from the Nj Tpke/Rt 95 we followed and crossed the Delaware Memorial Bridge, took exit 1A to Rt 896S, followed to Rt 301S to Rt 50 (Annapolis/Washington Beltway to Rt 495 to 95S.
We made it to Milford, VA just north of Richmond. We are staying at R&D Family Campground, which is both a Passport America campground as well as a Good Sams park. The cost for one night with Full Hookups is $33.00 but with our membership to PA (which cost $45 I think for 1 yr) we saved $16.50! A few more of these and it will have paid for itself and then some!
It's 38 degrees here so we have not hit warmth yet! Looks like a substantial rainstorm is headed right toward us, and I hope it hits overnight and is done with by tomorrow morning so it's smooth sailing!

So glad to have this news -- worried over the inadequate weather reports for NJ all day. But Richmond is probably out of the snow zone so although you might get rain, you shouldn't be battling winter. Whew!
Sleep well!
