Tuesday April 12th 2016

It was a rainy travel day today. I got picked up and ready to go by 10AM. The forecast was for occasional showers transitioning to sunshine. They missed the mark a little. I had rain all the way to Richmond Virginia around 200 miles. It had stopped and was starting to clear when I stopped for the day in Ashland just north of Richmond.

Heading down the rainy road

The heavy north bound RV traffic has caused me to reserve sites ahead of time. This results in a penalty if I change plans, so not traveling in the rain wasn’t a good option. This was not my first time traveling in the rain, I traveled in the rain a couple of days going south to Florida. As long as you keep the air moving on the windows to maintain visibility and keep good spacing with the cars in front, it isn’t that big an issue. A little more tension than I’d like, but rain is easier to deal with than wind.

Site E-28 at Americamps RV Resort

This campground is close enough to I-95 that you can see the trucks go by through the trees. It is  noisy but nothing that I’m not used to.   I’ll be here for 2 nights. I hope to get the laundry done and do some grocery shopping before I go into tourist mode in Washington DC until Monday.
