Journey home

We began our journey home on Saturday Mar 8 heading to Selma NC for our first night stay.  As we were travelling thru SC, we noticed black smoke on I95 South over the horizon and as we came over the crest we could see a Tractor on fire and as soon as we got closer the fire reached the fuel tank and it blew.  This is the picture I took....Amazing!!!  No one hurt!!  The driver disengaged the trailer and let it drop and moved the tractor ahead...Lucky he got out before it blew!!!  Though the van on top didn't make it.


We had excellent weather on our journey.  This picture was taken of the sun rising on the 9 Mar as we were leaving Selma...heading to Jonestown PA.   We started seeing patches of snow in Virginia heading North.   The campground we stayed at was snow covered and muddy!!!  While there a gentleman next to us heading back to Montreal was telling us there was a snowstorm coming thru on Wednesday so we thought we should make an early start so early to bed and up at 2AM .

This picture was taken as the sunrise as we were leaving Jonestown PE heading to Kennebunk ME.  We saw snow along the sides of the road but the roads were clear.

And you know what they say about red sky in the morning!!!  but coming into Portsmouth you can see how blue the sky is.....




We stopped at Kennebunk at the rest stop.  Someone should of told the tractor that was pushing snow back!!!!....We only got 2 hrs as the beeping as it back up and the bank of the scoop as it hit the ground, we gave up and headed to Bangor....Here is Gary driving the motorhome....after 4 days in the motorhome, the car is pretty small!!!  Hahaha
We heard that Bangor and Moncton was going to get 2 in of snow  overnight and with the storm coming we did not want to be stuck in the motorhome for 3 days so decided to continue heading home and we sleep for 3 hrs at the Duty Free in Calais and arrived home at 5am.  To say exhausted would be a good statement!!!  But we are here ahead of the storm as sleeping in the motorhome in the cold is not much fun!!!

This year's journey is at an end and my highlight is in thanks to my sister-in-law, Amy who got me an awesome deal on an antique tea wagon that I have always wanted.  I didn't realize but Gary had her looking for me.   To say I am pleased is an exaggeration.  I love love it and much thanks go out to Amy for finding it at such a great deal and for my sweet husband for thinking of me....Love you Guys!!! It is an L. Hancock antique....
