We headed out sort of early. We can now break camp, inside and out, in around 45 minutes. Shortly after starting, but before we got onto the Interstate, my "DEF is low" warning came on. We are so proud of ourselves--we just pulled into a gas station, opened the hood (I actually now know how to do that), got the 2 gal jug of DEF from our storage compartment, and a funnel, and we just filled that little bugger right up !! Who would have thought I even knew what DEF was?
It took around 4 hours to get to our overnight KOA campground in Maryland. We drove parallel to the Shenandoah Mountain range for quite a ways--very pretty countryside. We didn't want to go through Baltimore or Washington, DC on our way home, so this is a little more westerly route. And, we wanted to stop in the NYC area on the way home--for a big finale weekend.
We drove about 130 miles on I-81. It was a 2 lane (in each direction), but was filled with trucks. I drove in the right lane, so was behind trucks that slowed down at the hills, and sped up downhill. That was very frustrating. There was a lot of traffic, so passing was pretty difficult. On the other hand, a more local highway we traveled on, with two lanes each way, and a meridian, was absolutely perfect, and beautiful. That is my perfect RV road--the RV can go as fast or slow as I want, and there is a lane for folks to pass. There is a shoulder, no steep drop-offs (or guard rails, if there are), and smooth paved roads.
This KOA campground is pretty funky, but has the nicest bathrooms of anywhere we have been so far. Go figure. Wouldn't stay here again, but it works for an overnight. After driving all day, we went out for dinner at a local place--just OK.
No photos today either.
