Starting home

Sunrise comes early here in Saratoga Springs.  The daylight woke us before 5 am, and we were on the road by 6.  We drove through beautiful countryside before getting on I-88 and I-81.  After having a fuel stop for both the truck and our tummies in Frackville, PA, Bob did a check of the trailer and truck before continuing, as is his habit for safety sake.  He noticed one tire didn't look right, and sure enough, it was low on air.  A further inspection showed there was a screw in it.  We were lucky to be close to a tire store which was able to plug the leak in no time at all.  However, PA law requires that the vehicle to be worked on be inside the garage building, so Bob had to carefully pull the truck into the garage without scraping the top of the trailer. We continued down the road back to the Lazy A campsite near Martinsville, WVA, where we had stopped on our way up.  It is a nice, quite spot for a one night stay, and nine and a half hours on the road way enough for us.  Tomorrow, we will continue wending our way toward Calabash, NC.
