Sunny and 16.5C (61F) this morning as the decision was made to head for home directly. We had planned on stopping in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey in order to add those states to our "states we have slept in" map.
At 8:30, we were on the road and at 8:40 entered Virginia. Diesel in Virginia is the cheapest we have seen so far on our travels: $3.659/gallon. ($.99/L).
We followed the I295 bypass around Petersburg and Richmond as the temperature rose to 22C (71.6F).
At 11:15, we encountered a construction delay, where we averaged 10 - 15 mph for 5 miles. Finally at 11:55 we reached the end of the road work and got back up to 60mph!
After taking 495N around Washington we crossed the Potomac River and entered Maryland. Light rain has started.
We stopped in Frederick, Maryland for fuel and lunch. At 2:00 we were back on the road, heading north on US 15.
Light rain continued as we entered Pennsylvania at 2:35 and the temperature has dropped to 16C (60.8F).
We met up with I-81 at 3:40 as the northward trek continued.
This route takes us through mountains (1800 ft.), and from 4:20 - 5:05 we encountered dense fog, which made for tense driving.
One more fuel stop at 6:30. BRRRRRR it has cooled off and is a windy 14C (57F)!
At 6:55, we entered New York and continued on to Cortland. Arrived at Cortland Country Music Park and Campground at 7:55pm. Hooked up power & water but didn't unhook the truck, ready for a quick get-away in the morning. This is a nice park, so it is a shame that we won't be staying long!
Mileage today was 875 KM.
