At five thirty this morning we had a discussion about leaving. The weather forecast wasn't good for anywhere we were headed and the car was partly packed. We decided to pull the pin and here we are in New Hampshire. Nova Scotia was good to us and we actually thought we could out run the nasties but after leaving Moncton, we could almost see it coming. The dept of transportation doesn't salt the roads in NB and we encountered ICE for a stretch of several kilometers. Very slippery and many many trucks. That was the worst we have experienced in many trips, I guess because it was quite unexpected.But we made it throug and after quite an interrogation at the border, we were off.
The drive becomes a bit boring afte one crossword puzzle, two hours of NASCAR radio and several micro climates. Mike is a real road warrior and he goes and goes. he's ready to sleep now and I am somewhat wound up. We ate at Applebees tonight and will be thorsty afte all that salt and fat. However, it was delish!!
I you read my blog last year, you may recall how this platform, typing on my tablet, is awkward. I notice a lot of typos and it's diffocult to go back and correct. In a few days I will be using Mike's laptop and there will be fewer mistakes.
nothing much to report. Day one is in the can, we are ready for a good sleep and will hit the road for a rather challenging day tomorrow. Around Boston, throug Hartford, into the Poconos and then on to Richmond. Won't get that far, perhaps only to Fredericksburg but that will be a good one done. Stay tuned!
