Two long days of driving to get to MD from Chicago, IL and we finally made it! We decided we did not want to stop anywhere between there and here and I hoped to arrive with plenty of time before the weekend to winterize the RV and pack for our vacation. The further East we got the roads became narrower, bumpier and steeper and the drivers drove faster and swerved in and out of the lanes. It was terrifying.
I learned that there are RV hookups on the Ohio Turnpike where you camp at the service plaza much like at a campground. It was very convenient to get up in the morning, walk over to Panera for breakfast, and get on our way all without having to get on or off the Turnpike. What I didn’t expect were the exorbitant tolls! I forgot we were considered a truck and thus paid out the nose for using the toll roads. Lesson learned.
As we neared our destination in MD the roads literally got so small that I thought we would drive off the road. We pushed ourselves to our darkness limit and arrived at the campground just as it became dark. Phew! We could only get as close as about 45 minutes from our family but I’ll be happy to drive my car around this area rather than the big bus. As much fun as we are having in our tiny home, I’m looking forward to a little R&R from the driving tour.
