Unplugged!

Location yesterday: Salem, VA (High 40, Low 22)

We started out yesterday morning from Pine Grove, PA. It was another cold morning with temps in the 20s when we headed out. The skies were still grey, but we were happy to see dry roads.

The dry roads continued…

through Maryland,

 

 

West Virginia

 

 

 

 

and Virginia.

We were very happy that staying in Pennsylvania for the extra day had worked as far as the roads we had to travel.

Our luck was not as good when we got to the spot for our overnight stay though, in Salem, VA. When we went into the office to check in, we found out that the power was out due to the storm the day before.

We ran the furnace on our batteries overnight, turning the heat down to 60 degrees. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my down comforter?

 

This morning we got up bright and early. The upside of having no power was that we had very little to do this morning before we hit the road again. So we were out on the road by a little after 8 am.

Today we had a nice trip. We had a little stretch on I-81, and then started south on I-77. I entertained myself by asking Harry what the temperature was, about every 15 minutes or so. We started out in the low twenties, and landed in Lexington, SC about 2 hours ago to a very pleasant 57 degrees.

And now we are settled in for the next week. There’s not too much on our agenda…taking some walks, and maybe some bike rides…and generally just enjoying some nice January weather (southern style).
