Traveling
Last week was interesting.
We drove down through the NH White Mt. There was snow on the top of Mt. Washington. The Fall colors were pretty much at their peak and the weather more or less cooperated. Our second day driving is always the worst - through NY and PA - but at least this year we didn't have a blizzard. The third day is almost all the length of Northern and western Virginia and then through the Smoky Mt. The final day is the length of GA - a mix of back roads and interstates - i'll have to take the car in and get the bugs scrubbed off. The high cost of gas hasn't seemed to diminish the traffic. Florida is still pretty warm (hot actually) - a far cry from the chilly weather we left in New England.

Sounds like a long drive...here we drive at most two days to get from the one side of the country to the other.
@Zeal4living - Hi Jurgens
The drive is most of the length of the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Almost 2700 Km -we do live in North Florida - so don't have that added 600 Km - thirteen different states the way we go. But that's nothing - when we were younger we drove from South Florida to Maine via California and Canada twice - not exactly a direct route - it took most of the summer.
With my wife now confined to a wheelchair, our rambling long distance travels are somewhat curtailed, but we still make the drive each way every year. I expect one of these days, we'll have to consider another form of transportation.
I’m having the same problem as a few different people, whenever I click to download the Archive my computer loses internet connection. I’m running off a wired connection and it still happens, can anyone help me out?
I think this is among the most vital info for me. And i’m pleased reading your post.
The website looks good, the articles are excellent.
