Our first day on the road! It's a rainy day here in SE Connecticut, but I'll take that over freezing rain, sleet, hail or snow anyday! We managed to leave at 10:00am which is really early for us! But not twenty minutes in, the back up camera went out and we noticed a new sound...a thumping slapping kind of sound from somewhere in the front end!
We pulled over and luckily Steve could reset the camera. He donned his rain gear and looked under the hood but nothing looked amiss. We decided it was our awning strap flapping and resumed our trip.
Our route today is I-95S to Rt. 7N (exit 15) to Rt. 84W to Rt. 81S. Our lunch break will be in Port Jervis, NY.
I'm wearing my Seabands and have been able to read my Kindle while we are driving...yeah!
Stopped in Newburgh, NY for a quick break and it's getting colder and icy...not making good time so far because the driving is so hard because of the rain and sometimes sleet. We have seen several sanding trucks.
Quick stop to make our lunch and then we will eat it while driving because we are behind schedule. Pippin desperately wants to "go outside" but she won't if it is raining!
We are in the foothills of the Catskills and it's raining cats and dogs (sorry Pippin!)
Decided to change course and pull off in Lake Ariel, PA due to icing conditions. We could see sanding trucks ahead of us on the highway, and decided to be prudent (I'm sure you're happy about this, Gram!)
Staying at a nice Comfort Inn, which is more than the Motel 6 we were going to stay in in Harrisburg, but Mother Nature had other ideas.
