Heading back to PA

Monday, Oct 3

Moving on today.  It was fairly sunny and warming up when we unhooked and packed up.  Looks like it might turn out to be a good day after all.  We weren't absolutely sure of the route we were taking this morning.  The GPS said go one way, Yahoo maps said go another way and then there were the signs on the roads.  We sort of followed the GPS and signs.  We did make it onto the Interstate without having to double back at all.  I call that a success. 

We decided to stop at a Pilot before we left NJ as the prices are pretty good and we thought we could use the Flying J card there.  The first one we stopped at had a line out to the street and we wouldn't fit in the car side.  So we just got back on the highway.  Down the road a bit we tried another one.  The truck lanes were really busy here (meaning the trucks were backed up to the street) but they did have diesel in the car lanes and we would fit there.  They pump your gas for you in NJ and turns out they don't take the Flying J card in NJ.  Hmmm.  We paid $3.79 for diesel.  Still cheaper than in Calif. 

We stopped at an Info center as soon as we paid the bridge toll to get into Pennsylvania.  There was a Subway in the Pilot gas station so I picked up a sandwich that we had for lunch while sitting there.  When we first pulled in it was pretty empty but when we came out it was full.  We ate and Bill made a call to Terry on his first full day of retirement.  Eventually we pulled out and down the road.  Not too far into PA it started raining again.  It rained off and on all the way to the campground.  Luckily it was only sprinkling when we pulled into the campground.  We are at the Twin Grove KOA in Pine Grove, PA.  We will be here for a week while we visit family and attend Bill's reunion. 

That is all for today.  Have fun.
