Tid bits and a tease

  Moving day come along no matter how long you have been there, or what you have done. So it was today. Decided to drop south of the Mason Dixon line an pick up I-68 in Maryland. Speaking of that have you looked at western Maryland, northern West Virginia on a map? Where we crossed from Ohio to Pennsylvania, we went thru Wheeling West Virginia. West Virginia was all of 10 miles wide at that point. From central Texas it is 350 miles to Louisiana, and 450 or so to El Paso. A little different.

 At any rate I-68 saved us the cost of the Pennsylvania toll road. The western stretch was a roller coaster to be sure. Truck warnings to use low gear and 6% grade for 13 MILES. Crawl up a long grade then try not to burn up your brakes on the downhill. Beautiful country but not such a a fun drive pulling a trailer. Not as bad as scenic route 12 in Utah thankfully. At any rate we are safe in our new home for 3 nights. Where you ask? Well that is the tease part.



Next several days heavy with history.
