We left Indianapolis on Wednesday morning, the 25th and headed East. We made it accross the rest of Indiana, thru Ohio, and into Pennsylvania before stopping in Rockwood, PA. for the night (427 miles).
The next day we were on the road again and made it to the eastern side of PA. to a place called Scotrun (271 miles). Camped there, unhooked, and went into town to the first 'diner' that we saw. (Diners are very popular out east). At this particular diner, it didn't matter what you ordered, soup came with it (either chicken noodle or veg. beef - both homemade and delicious!).
On Friday we drove thru some mountainous country (Poconos) and came to a small town called Maybrook. Drove over a couple of bumps in the road and the tire pressure system alarm goes off and says that a tire is losing air fast. So we drive a couple of blocks looking for a gas station to try to put air in it when, lo and behold, there is a tire shop at the next corner!! We turn on to a side street and pull over to the side of the road. Unfortunately, the guy did not have a jack big enough to lift our trailer, but we carry some 2x6x8 boards with us (for when we need to level our trailer at a CG that has an uneven site) so I got those out and spaced them apart and backed up on them raising the tire that was flat. Turns out that it was a bad valve stem so he replaced that and we were back on the road in about an hour.
Drove thru NY state and saw some interesting signs along the way. They have recently passed a law making texting while driving illegal.
We didn't get any pictures along the way, but this is a picture of Gov. Cuomo introducing the signs back in Sept when the law was passed.
We 'finally' made it to our CG in Monson, MA. (230 miles or a total of 2000 miles in 6 days).
More later...
