Wilmington to NYC

Image
I've spend a few days in Wilmington visiting with family, & this morning, my dear sister-in-law took me to the train, so I took an Amtrak train to Penn Central Station in NYC. At the station in Wilmington, the announcements were completely disconnected from what was actually happening with the trains; they would announce a "last call" for a train that had already departed, & announced that one train to NYC was arriving when it was actually another one - just crazy.  A cab took me over the Brooklyn Bridge to a hotel in Brooklyn. There's a lovely walking/biking path with lush greenery along the Hudson River that's just beautiful (not easy to photograph from a cab).  The Manhattan Municipal Building is quite impressive. This weird cab caught my eye.    The big excitement for the day was dinner at a Peruvian restaurant across from my hotel - sea bass with shrimp, mussels, & squid.  My reason for coming to NYC today was to be here early for my cruise, whi...

As much as I love being on the road, & often feel like I could go on the road full-time, I do enjoying arriving home. Though it was 62* here, these snow piles are still hanging around in the parking lot of the local shopping center - a reminder of why all that driving to AZ was worth it.  And by my front door, these snow drops are welcoming spring. My summer trip will be to the UK without the trailer, so I don't expect to post here again until September, when the fall trailer rallies begin.

heading home

Image
The part needed for the trailer came in yesterday, & the repair went smoothly. I left Stone Mountain mid-afternoon & drove to the northern South Carolina. Spent the night in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Gaffney, SC - lots of highway noise, but the price (free) was right.  Today, I drove on to central West Virginia to a KOA in Flatwoods. It's very quiet, & I'll be able to dump here in the morning before heading home.  These geese visited my campsite at Stone Mountain; clearly, I stayed there too long, as I was desperate enough to befriend the local waterfowl.  😁

still at Stone Mountain

Well, the lady who promised to order in the part needed for my trailer didn't do it, so it wasn't there this morning; it's now promised for tomorrow. So, I had another day to noodle around Stone Mountain & enjoy the early spring here.   a very cool rig

around Stone Mountain

As expected, I'll have to wait for a part to come in to get the electrical issue on my trailer fixed. Fortunately, the part is due in on Monday, & it's an easy fix, so I should be back on the road on Tuesday. In the meantime, I explored Stone Mountain a bit yesterday & today. Seeing daffodils in February is amazing!                      southern magnolia

a change of plans

Image
Well, my plan for today was to drive to Charleston, SC, & have dinner with my cousin tonight & see her again tomorrow evening. It seems that the fates had other plans, as the signal lights on my trailer didn't work this morning. The short version of the story is that I moved to the other side of Atlanta to Stone Mountain, & an RV tech will come tomorrow to take a look. My theory is that we'll need a part, which will need to be ordered.  Here are a few shots from around Stone Mountain.

visiting a friend in Marietta

A friend of mine from Pittsburgh recently moved to Marietta to be with her daughter. I spent the afternoon & early evening with them, & it was wonderful to catch up with her & see her settling in so well in her new digs. No pics, as I don't usually put pics of people on my blog.
