Home Again, Home Again!

After 8,842 over 57 days, we arrived home safely.  Before we left, we had secured our home with hurricane shutters and then inadverently engaged the deadbolt on the front door.  That made it virtually impossible to get in. Thankfully, new batteries allowed the garage door opener to work, and we were able to get in through the garage.  Now to unpack and plan for another trip!

Blurred Vision? No--snow!

We had hoped to see snow when in Jersey...or at least on this trip, and we weren't disappointed.  At about 7:30 am, enroute from TN to NC on I-26,  the white stuff started to come down....

Bluff City, TN

Our last travel adventure stop..Bluff City, TN, about 11 miles outside of Johnson City in north eastern Tennessee.  Our campsite was at Lakeview RV park, overlooking part of Boone Lake.  It was raining and cold the two days we were here.  On Thursday, we took a brief tour of Rocky Mount, a pioneer homestead.  Tomorrow, we will head for home.   

Gettysburg, PA

Monday, November 1, we left New Jersey and went to Gettysburg, PA.  On Tuesday, we took the 24 mile auto tour around the 6000 acres of the national park which included the fields where the battle was waged July1 thru July 3, 1863, where a total of  51,000 Union & Conferderate soliders were either wounded, killed, or missing in action.  It was hard to believe a place of such beauty was a scene of such carnage.  You can't help but be moved by the monuments throughout the park, and especially in the cemetery, where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address.
