Turnpikes and Halliday’s Winery, Milton Lake, OH – May 12, 2016

Turnpikes and Halliday’s Winery, Milton Lake, OH – May 12, 2016

We drove on the PA and OH turnpikes at points along our journey from Washington DC to Michigan. That was quite an adventure. Even with an E-ZPass you are required to go through the tight toll booths. When you consider the wide mirrors on the RV, we can be wider than a semi. I held my breath as we squeaked past the toll booth with what seemed barely an inch to spare. At another point on the PA turnpike we came upon…

We were able to pull right in and leave the vehicle attached. After our tour…

We signed up for the house and garden tour. As an Engineer, I enjoyed seeing all of the technical things Jefferson invented and acquired throughout his lifetime. He was a brilliant man.  The grounds and gardens were spectacular, as was the wine cellar. I believe they…

Galax, VA – Deer Creek Motorcoach Resort, May 1- 4, 2016

Deer Creek is a Class A Motorcoach lot ownership community located in the Blue Ridge Mountain region. It is a very nice resort and the owners were very welcoming. We had met one of the couples, Mary Anne and Mike, previously at a Tiffin Rally. They were kind enough to invite us up for a few nights, at no cost. It gave us an opportunity to explore the area and to see what a Class A Motorcoach ownership community was like….
