August 26, 2022 Travel to Ohio

We did our final checks, packing and walk about and away we went.

Heading south on 209:   

Crossing the Susquehanna on 81:

Past the farms:

Heading to Western Pennsylvania Mountains:

Thru the Blue Mountain Tunnel (Tunnel 1):

Cool – this camera is GREAT!:

The light at the end of the tunnel:

But wait..another tunnel (Tunnel 2)..The Kittatinny Mountain Tunnel:

Love these mountains:

Tunnel Number 3 – Tuscarora Mountain Tunnel:

And the last one – Tunnel 4 – Allegheny Mountain Tunnel:

And we are out and among the mountains:

Pennsylvania turnpike has a few abandoned tunnels and a few years ago, three of us took a trip to see one set of them…very scary!

More farms – I love this picture:

That sky is very ominous:

A little rain as we crossed over to West Virginia:

But stopped as we crossed the Ohio River and entered Ohio:

Very dark:

Just as we got parked at the campground, it poured but stopped about 30 minutes later so we could hook up.

We are staying at Utika Shale RV Park in Belmont Ohio for the night.  It is a no frills park with full hookups.  The reason we are not boondocking is that it is HOT and HUMID and between us and the cats, we like it cooler.

Our Nexus rides like a bouncy truck and things get bounced around.  We thought we secured everything but did not so it was an interesting hour when we first settled in – LOL!  More arranging (and some repairs) to do going forward!

Our new GPS worked wonderful – loving it.  And the camera – loving that too.  Still learning both – good for my brain!

Tomorrow we continue west so stay tuned and enjoy today!
