Awake: 5:00am Temp 48 sleep 5+46 some clouds overnight @
Nicktown.


We have our coffee, make a final prep on the tow car, disconnect the
land-line phone, the shore power, switch off the main circuit breakers &
then wrap site # 1 for the winter.

We leave our circular drive hangout in Nicktown @ 7:30am. Smooth roads
with medium to light traffic en route to Bedford, PA (60 miles). Here we
stop & spend approximately 5 hrs @ the Penn Detroit Diesel facility having
our 6 AGM batteries & 2 lead acid batteries load checked + having our
diesel engine steamed cleaned after that dusty road experience in Canada.

After a light lunch in the motor home, we continue our travels to the
Northeast by taking the PA turnpike for 146 miles. That turned out to be a
little costly; we were charged as a commercial vehicle having 5 axles
equating to 62,000 lbs & $25.00.

We exited the turnpike @ Carlisle, PA & continued on I-81for a few hrs. As
we are bumping along, I ask Kathy to look ahead for a campground for
tonight. After a considerable amount of time, she finds an easy off, easy
on +big rig friendly possibility & makes a cell phone call: yes, they have
space available. We arrive @ the 81-80 RV Park in Drums, PA @ 5:35pm.

Today’s travel: 4+54 time 257 miles 34 gal used 7.6 mpg
52.4 avg speed

7:45pm dinner: Alaska salmon, brown & wild rice, mixed salad & toast.

Late satellite movie: “Jackie Brown” with Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson,
Robert Forster, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, etc. Grier plays a flight
attendant who’s been trafficking in hot money for lowlife Jackson; when
caught, she plays all the angles she can think of to keep herself out of
jail, managing to keep the cops, her chief client, & everyone else on ice.
1997. Another movie not for children but very entertaining.
