Shenandoah Valley, Virginia

Here we are at Natural Bridge Virginia and it is beautiful! Our trip from Charlotte to here was smooth. We opened the windows in the RV because the air was so cool blowing in we did not need the A/C. We ran into construction on I-77 and sat in traffic for nearly 2 hours. It is nice to sit up high and be able to see far ahead with traffic. The only other traffic jam we have run into was in FL between Tampa and Ocala. A car was on its side on top of an overpass. No other car was involved and no one seemed hurt. It looked like the car had lost control, maybe hitting one of the concrete barriers then flipped. That wait was not nearly as long as I-77.
With the movement of the RV, I only put a small amount of water in the pets bowls. So here we are traveling at 65mph and I am checking the pets water dishes and see that Misty needs water. Now Skid has picked out the coolest spot in the coach to sleep, lying next to the sink. When I turn on the faucet for water, the air blowing in was so strong it blew the full stream of water onto the sleeping cat. Skid FLEW into the bedroom in shell shock! (No more sleeping on the counter. Guess that worked better than the squirt bottle of water I use.)
Poor Skid, she may be neurotic by the end of this trip. Here at the camp site, the front curtains were open so she could look out. When Chris decided to wash the front windshield she was sitting up there pretty as a picture. He got up on the ladder, grabbed his window cleaner, aimed at the window and sprayed. Skid was watching and the minute the spray hit the window she took off for the bedroom. Anyone know a good pet psychologist?
KOA had an "All you can eat" pancake breakfast here this morning in honor of Fathers Day. All dads ate free ( I had to pay $4.) We met a really nice couple at breakfast from PA headed to NC. Campers are a very friendly bunch always stopping to say hi and visit. It reminds me of simplier times when the living pace was slower. We are pulling out tomorrow morning headed for Pine Grove Furnace State Park, PA. There is no WiFi there so my next blog will be from the Catskil Mountains. Stay tuned.
