Thursday, May 9, 2019 - Wendy has a 3-day Clergy Conference (Thursday-Friday-Saturday), so I'm HITTING THE ROAD:
I hope to see 6 art museums, have lunch with my Best Man in Raleigh, North Carolina, and cover over 1700 miles - "Road Trip" indeed!
Today I logged 724 miles:
Left the house at 6 AM, breakfast in Boston, then down the road.
I had corresponded with the Director of The Trout Gallery, Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA, and was hoping to see some pictures in their storage there. They close at 4 PM, but I was hoping to get there at 3:30 - unfortunately the traffic out there on the Interstates is bad-in-places, and the drive took 10% longer than expected. I arrived at 4:15, and everything was closed:
another day, another year ...
It was fun hitting 81º F on I-81 South:
(I just hope the same type of relationship DOES NOT HAPPEN on Saturday, when I coming back north on I-95)
It is Really Nice driving down the Shenandoah Valley, on the backside of the Blue Ridge Mountains:
very peaceful and easy-going, smooth road and minimal traffic, with the light of the sun lowering in the west.
Dinner on the road at 8 PM:
(I just can't keep away from Wendy!)
I checked into the Super 8 in Roanoke, Virginia at 9 PM:
Thank you God for these Wonderful Adventures!
