   Will be packing the trailer up and moving north this afternoon. The original plan was to stay until tomorrow morning and then get out on the road, but after making reservations at a RV camp in Suffolk Virginia starting tomorrow I realized that it is close to 600 miles away, and more than 10 hours of driving according to Emma, my GPS unit. Of course pulling a trailer makes it even longer in most cases because I seldom drive more than 65 mph on the highway, and it takes more gas and gas stops to get anywhere.
   So with luck everything will be packed and Jessica and I will hit the road by 3 or 4 this afternoon. The idea is to put in 3-4 hours today and then finish up the rest of the trip tomorrow. So it will be a night spent out in a rest area somewhere along the way.
   Otherwise it has been really calm and easy these last two days. Yesterday was spent hanging out at the campground and reading various books. The only 'exciting' thing was watching the movie 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' last night, and believe me, it wasn't all that exciting. I remember watching that movie more than 40 years ago and the only thing I really remember about it was the big dance scene at the barn raising. That part is still one of the best things about the movie, but the rest of it, concerning the physical abduction of 6 young women, was pretty disturbing. The movie does address that to some degree, but the reality of it was that all of the men involved should of been hanged for what they did. Just goes to show how certain ideas of appropriateness have changed over the years. Enough of that though.... time to go get packed up and on my way.
