Off we go!!

 It was such a beautiful morning. I would have loved to just sit and watch it come in. But not gonna happen. Too much to do before we could leave.

I was up so late last night trying to get my things ready. Much later than I wanted to be. But hey! That's life.

We finally were on the road by 9:20. We were in NJ by 9:45 (it's not that far from us), in NY by 11:00 and in CT by 11:35. WE hit the 100 mile mark at 11:20 and the 150 mile marker at 12:10. When all was said and done we rode 255 miles in 4hrs 44 min drivng time (or 6hr 25 min total which counts stops stops for lunch, Visitors Center and nature).

Our campground, Sunsetview Campground in MA, is nice and very quiet. It is busier on the week ends. We Will be coming back here for the Columbus Day weekend. Since the campground closes on October 15, they will be having some special celebrations. Sites are rather close to each other but we usually end up saying "It's only for one night."

No matter were we were today the leaves were just starting to turn color. It was a hint of what it coming.

The only thing that went really wrong today is that our Global Positioning System Receiver (GPSR) is going wacky. There is a cache (as in geocache - yes we believe in hunting buried treasue) that we passed coming here but we couldn't get it because our gpsr was telling us that it was way far away and that as we sat by the side of the road to check out the GPSR it told us that we were going 50 mph. Now Tom has the thing acting correctly. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
It's almost 9 pm (48 degrees outside and 66 degrees inside). I'm ready for bed. It will be a quick, cold trip to the wash house and then to bed in a comfy, warm sleeping bag. I don't know how early we are going to get up tomorrow but I think I will have a hard time. But we have to move our home so I can't stay in bed.

Take care, our traveling buddies. We'll talk with you tomorrow.
