I'm hitting the road today.

 

I have added a air deflector between the cab and camper, It seems to have reduced the wind noise.

No picture for now.

 

I'm heading over the mountains to pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway north to somewhere in Virginia

The adventure begins! Safe travels.

I found a nice campground for the night near Harpers Ferry WV.

Brunswick city campground
It’s on the Potomac river
And $20 for dry camping but there’s an active rail yard next to it


Picture didnt upload.

Ahh Mabry Mill! They have a great little county restaurant there and is Very popular in the fall with all the leaf peepers. The Buckwheat Pancakes are to die for!

Enjoying vicariously the open time/road travel…no pressure other then what we bring to it. We also were pulled aside and had camper thoroughly gone through when we went into Quebec. I guess we looked hippi-ish!

One of our trips in 2010,crossing into Victoria,BC last ferry almost midnight

got the full search.I think they just needed something to do.

We didn't get out just sat there and watched them take a very casual look

around inside.

The biggest question was whether we were taking firewood into BC.

Nope but a camper coming in before us had some so they got the full treatment.

 

Got to keep us hippie types honest I guess.
