| Hey That's us ! |
Not a bad night at all 42F at 5 am and warming up slowly. No rush today just going to stop at a Flying J this afternoon. I did enjoy a nice walkabout the campground for a couple of miles enjoying the fresh air and scenery. Had another coffee, stored our satellite dish and hooked up the car. We ready to go.

We left the campground about 10:15 and stopped in Maryland to add a bit of gas to our coach so we could make it to the Flying J. Pennsylvania was $2.99 a gallon. Maryland $2;85 and the Flying J $2; 40. A no brainer will fill up here and stop for the night and enjoy free parking as well. Added 60 gallons of gas and saved $32.40 a vey nice savings, help pay for our repair yesterday.
Through Maryland. North Virginia the into Virginia, Managed to by pass Washington DC no problem , clear sailing all the way just a bit of slow down around Frederickburg, Stopped at a couple of rest areas to stretch and make lunch enjoying the liesurely pace.

Arrived at the Flying J fuelled up and parked just after 3 pm. Relax a bit, do some reading after a few walkabouts, happy hour and then whip up supper. It is raining but we cozy inside.

spotted this boat at the pumps, 3 massive outboard
motors on the back, that sure would be quick ! |
 |
| heating our English Muffin on our Blue Flame |
Supper tonight a very tasty one. Our Canadian Peameal bacon on an English muffin, with egg cheese and tomato for me. Added a few potato chips and this did the trick today.
 |
| quick and easy a nice treat |
 |
| that was it for our day |
Still pouring down rain. and this posting is pretty well done. So time to get my Kobo going and back into some Jack Reacher escapades. Maybe even watch a bit of TV later on. We have 35 local channels on our antenna so will enjoy something I am sure.
Thanks for checking us out and hope y'all had a wonderful day.

Enjoying following along.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you riding along with us Stew.
DeleteFBI Quntico is part of the Marine Base as a training facility, not their headquarters. But is fun how often Quantico comes up in various novels for its expertise in its scientific endeavors. I worked in the are for a few years, Virginia is for BUGS!, know wonder the 'lovers' stay indoors!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that info about Quantico, It has come us so many times in the novels we read. Nice to pas by p[laces that we have heard or read about.
DeleteIt's been raining here in Williamsburg for 12 hours now and raining harder all the time. Supposed to stop by morning though. Should be a good travel day for you.
ReplyDeleteNeat trick using the blue flame heater as an oven of sorts. There sure are great!
Raining here for 12 hours now, should let up soon after sunrise, we are in no hurry again today. We do love our Blue Flame heater, so efficient and quiet.
DeleteNice traveling roads today even with the rain. Stay safe
ReplyDeleteYes JO is was a good travel day at a nice leisurely pace.
DeleteIts pouring here today.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so much rain this season. Supper looked good as usual. Take care.
Still raining here this morning but mild, so quite comfortable.
DeleteSupper was tasty we both enjoyed it.
What Jeff said above about Quantico was my first thought. It shows up in many of our novels.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got moved the short jaunt and looks like your destination ahead is clearer. Safe travels!
Yes it does, nice to pas right by here. We enjoy these shorter travel days when we can do them. Supposed to clear up for the weekend so we will enjoy that.
DeleteWe stopped at that Flying J to dump and get fuel. Hopefully the rain has moved north of you. We drove in rain all day yesterday to get to Atlanta. But its stopped this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat FlyingJ is handy spot to stop. e ran out of rain by 11 am today should be nice for a few days here now, We hading south through Atlanta on Tuesday.
DeleteRAIN!!! OH NO!! So far it's still hot here ... up in the high 80's!!
ReplyDeleteThe rain finally stopped supposed to be in the low 60s now and that is just fine.
DeleteI'm a fan of breakfast food for supper and this reminds me that I need to make some Canadian bacon.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is good anytime and we do enjoy it.
DeleteWe are always relieved that traffic is backed up going the opposite direction and not the way we're going. Enjoy the journey.
ReplyDeleteNice that gas is getting cheaper! Not so out here in NV over the $3.00 mark everywhere near us. Dinner looked wonderful..love breakfast for dinner.
ReplyDeleteWe like the cheaper gas works for us. Dinner was very tasty thanks.
DeleteYou are passing through our old stomping grounds, lived near Quantico before we retired and hit the road. That Flying J was our fueling stop many times, both going and coming home.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice area would better without the rain though, The Flying j's always work best for us too.
DeleteLove being cozy inside the RV with rain outside but not for days on end :)
ReplyDeleteCozy and warm is the way like it too, think the weather has cleared for now supposed to be dry and warmer.
