Tolls

I grow weary.  The trip is taking its toll in many aspects.  And while it's not surprising to anyone, weather plays a huge role in everything we're doing.  I'm sick of the rain.  And the bonus of camping in the rain?  Wet leaves.  All over the place.  We did a major washout of the van and trailer at Deep Creek and finished just as it started raining again.  The last campsite with no rain?  Medoc Mountain in NC.  Just after Easter, by my accounts.  That's not to say that we haven't had days here and there with no rain, but rain has been the majority.  

We spoke with another family with a Sprinter.  They have six kiddos, they've taken their kids on summer trips across the nation, nothing crazy like what we're doing.  She asked if we were tired yet.  Oh yeah.  Tired doesn't come close.  This is a great experience, I'm happy that we're taking this truly amazing opportunity.  Once in a lifetime.  Spectacular learning experience.  Phenomenal cosmic power, itty bitty living space.  So while we're enjoying everything we get to do, it's wearing.  If only the stupid spring weather that brings such glorious beauty would clear the $%&@ up.

  1. It's sunny en route to Syracuse this morning. I hope the sun finds its way to you, too!

    1. We got sun for our travelling, and then it dumped and hailed as Bill was getting ready to cook outside. Dinner was still tasty, though!
