May 3, 2023 We are in the EAST!

(Note: This blog is picture intensive.  Many of the pictures were taken as we were driving so they may not be super sharp. But the scenery just had to be captured. Notice the topography changes as we traveled– Amazing!)

We were up early heading east.  Love these small towns:
