Romance, WV - June 3, 2015

 

June 3, 2015

Happy Anniversary to us.  Married nine years – where has the time gone?   Just shows that time flies when you are having fun.   We are having fun.   However, this morning, not so much.  We are on our way to an RV shop.  The jacks did not retract properly so we are listening to the jack alarms as we drive down the road.  It is a lot like what I expect Chinese Water Torture to be like.   We are about ready to chew off our arm.  This will surely test our patience with each other. 

It was determined that we might have a leak in our jack system.  At least we got the alarms turned off.  Now we know not to put the jacks down again until we can have it looked at by a technician.

We left Indiana this morning, went through Cincinnati, Ohio, down to Lexington, Kentucky, and plan to make it to Milton, West Virginia.  That make four states in one day.  Sure does make a difference from travels on the West Coast.


We have encountered roads in various stages of disrepair.  I guess with the number of trucks on the road it is a surprise that it isn’t worse.  Illinois had the worst roads so far.  North Dakota had a lot of construction going on, but easy to get through.  Ohio had construction which caused long delays.  Kentucky road are about the best so far.  West Virginia joined the list of the worst roads in US.

We have seen many dead animals along the road.  Wisconsin had the worst with at least seven deer along the road.

  We have seen a lot of raccoon as well.  Sad.

Swan on the Lake

Lake with swan, fountain & chapel

As it turns out, we are spending our Anniversary night in a town called Romance.  How about that?  We had planned to stay at the KOA in Milton, WV, but the entry was WAY too tight, so we decided to keep driving.  The next RV park was the Rippling Water Church of God Campground, in Romance.  It is beautiful.  We are right near the pond that has many fountains and even has swan swimming around, with a chapel in the background.
