It’s sunrise and we are headed south. Our goal today is Timberville VA where we will visit a high school friend Nico and his wife, Barbara. Before talking about our trip south we need to talk about our journey out of our driveway. With our gravel driveway we never gel down to bare ground. Each time we snowblow there’s a thin layer of snow left behind. Over time this builds up and when we have a melt such as on Thursday the becomes ice. So now it’s Friday morning with the easiest way to get down the driveway is with a pair of ice skates. Our trailer needs to be backed down the driveway on shear ice. After applying ice melt and sand we finally are out after 30 miles of trying. We’re on the road with a fully winterized trailer. So there’s no water in the trailer, just some RV antifreeze.
We’re underway as Wells works on getting his sea legs driving our trailer once again. The drive is uneventful with no traffic issue with the weather warming as we head south. We arrive a little aft Wer 6 with the temperature in the high 70s.
