Our first night out of Tucson

We left Tucson on Sunday morning, March 31st and made it to Santa Rosa NM.  We drove 566 miles this first day.  This is where our daughter was born 28 years ago!!  I was so tired after the first day of riding that I forgot to take pictures, but here is a photo of the brochure from our campground.  It was nice, clean and very comfortable.


Our next day consisted of 626 miles through the rest of New Mexico, the panhandle of Texas, all of Oklahoma and we stayed at Fort Smith, Arkansas.  That was a very long day, but a fairly easy drive.  Oklahoma City has the absolute worst freeway of all that we drove the whole trip.  Very bumpy and confusing.  Here are a couple of pictures of the campground there in Fort Smith.



Day three took us from Fort Smith to Lebanon Tennessee.  We drove 532 miles that day.



From Lebanon TN, we traveled 472 miles to Lexington, VA.  What a beautiful campground!  It was the Natural Bridge State Park area.  Another uneventful day of driving.  Larry's doing all the driving, so I get to do all the navigating.  So far, we've only had to turn around twice, I think that's pretty good... LOL.  Here are the pictures of Natural Bridge park... sorry, we didn't take time to actually go see the bridge.  That type of sightseeing will be on all of our other trips back and forth as snowbirds!




The last day was much shorter, from Lexington VA to Covington PA.  Covington is between our property where we will be building and our daughter's home.  It is a great park; they actually opened early for us.  No water yet, still too cold to turn it on, but we have electricity and sewer... that's a plus.  Only a couple of days without water, so it's no biggie, we are just using out of our trailer's storage tanks.

Tomorrow I will post pictures of "Tanglewood Campground" where we will be living for a couple of months.  I have a few pics, but will get some good ones tomorrow... so you'll have to wait until then to see them.

Thanks to everyone for being so concerned about our travels, we're doing great!
