Fog and Rain

We moved from Harrisburg into West Virginia today and spent the day driving through the mountains (up to about 3,000 feet) in rain and fog. It was 6 degrees when we got up and it did not warm up very much. We were moving along pretty quickly as the speed limit here is 70 mph or 112 Kph. Because there are lots of hills and big semis we generally move along at about 105 except for the bigger hills where we slow down and we have been up to 115 -120 for short sections. My guess is that my mpg is going to go down. The roads have been really good for the last few days.

When we stopped for lunch we abandoned our usual BBQ'ed hot dogs for a deli lunch in the trailer with the heat on. That is the first time this trip that we have done that.

Below is a picture of one of our lunch stops from a few days ago when it was sunny. You can see the BBQ at the back of the trailer. There was no picnic area at this rest area so we just set up shop at the trailer.

The campsite we chose for tonight said "Open all year". We are the only people here. The owner said to Kathie "you don't want to use the washrooms do you!?". The campsite is also down a long 5 mile country road that is only 1 1/2 lanes wide. I don't know what I will do if I meet someone going the other way when we leave tomorrow. I may have heard banjos playing because one of the "resorts" around here is the Hillbilly Cabins.
