The Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Forest, Gatlinburg and The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and Mammoth Cave are behind us. Lots of lessons learned for us novices during this “shakedown” cruise, and Barbara and I will certainly talk, and talk and talk about those lessons. For now all we know is that we love being on the road and seeing and exploring new places, meeting new people, and damn, we actually still like each other and look forward to being together each and every day all day (25th wedding anniversary coming up in February!). But we’re on vacation. How this translates for us into a fulltime RV lifestyle, I’m sure, will be the focus of our talks for months to come.
So it’s a short 4 hour ride crisscrossing the countryside from Cave City to Bloomington, Indiana. Bloomington’s home to grandchild #9, Kyra Grace and her parents-just about a day visit in Bloomington. Then a short 4 hour interstate only ride to Yellow Springs, Ohio. Yellow Springs is home to grandchildren #7 and #11, Maggie Elizabeth and Penelope Rose-just a little more than a day in Yellow Springs.
Sadly this vacation is over, but both Barbara and I felt that our maiden voyage was a 100% success. Now it’s a non-stop 10 hour drive and we’re home…at least our home until late next spring or early summer, but that’s a story for another day.
