We left Juniper Springs on Sunday 3/7 when a nice weather forecast predicted that we would have 3 sunny days driving home and when we got to Cleveland it would warm to the low 70’s while we were unpacking and cleaning the RV up.
Wow this is 20oF above normal so we got on our way by 7:45 AM and made it all the way to Columbia, SC by 3:15 PM, a 7-1/2 hr. drive. There was virtually no traffic on US-301 all the way. The only Interstate highway that we hit was when we got to I-77 in Columbia. Of course we stayed at a quiet Walmart parking lot for the night.
On Monday morning we left at 7:30 AM and hit Charlotte, NC with light traffic. Most of the road construction there is now complete. We decided we could make it all the way to Marietta, Ohio, if there were no traffic jams on the WV turnpike. We made it to Marietta by 2:45 PM and we could have made it home in another 3 hours but we decided that that 7-1/4 hours. was enough driving for the day. We stayed at another Walmart for the night
On Tuesday we left before 7 AM and made it home before 10 AM, so we got an early start unpacking. The warm days they had predicted were great, we even got the RV washed with my grandson John’s help. So this week we will fix any minor problems we had and hope we can get a spot at the same storage lot that we used last year in Avon.
This year we had no problems at all with our RV unlike two year’s ago when we had all sorts of failures. See this blog for that story: https://keelhauler.org/WordPress/2018/11/
Some wonder why we come home so early in March. Well we miss all our kids and grandkids who all live nearby. If I can get home with driving in good weather, I don’t mind looking out our windows at home at any bad weather that may come after we get home.
