We left ‘Camp Knowles’ on 10/23/2012, Storm Sandy was South of Cuba and she had our casual attention. Anne-Marie had a 10:00 doc’s appointment, her meds were adjusted and we were given to clearance to take off. We were hooked up and left Suffield at noon. Conventional wisdom is that you should not tow across the George Washington Bridge in NY. We did and never dropped below 40mph right up to the bridge where we had about a 10 minute hold up due to construction. This was at 2:00pm, youo are advised not to try is during commuting hours as it would take 3 hours.
It’s sad to think of the effect on New England’s up coming heating oil prices. This when the inventory level is at and all time high!
At about 6:00pm we stopped at the Casino in Dover Delaware. Many casinos supply free parking inside secured areas for their high rolling cliental. After minimal set-up {slide the walls, aim satellite and turn on the inverter we went in. Anne-Marie squandered $5 when she couldn’t figure out how to retrieve her winnings on a nickel machine. I had better luck, my $3 got me a wonderful cold Sam Adams from a serving wench with all the right assets. So, $8 to stay the evening!
Next stop is Virginia Beach State Park which was built by ‘African American’ corps of the CCC in the 20’s. Great care is used to protect the fragile ecosystem. This walkway was access to beach, about 200 feet from our site. The 200 site are in the trees, great in the summer, not satellite TV happy.
After 3 days, it is time to move on as there is weather coming up the coast. We will move to Dillion SC home of South of the Border. It is about 100 miles inland which should keep us safe.
