A BUNCH OF SLEEPY-HEADS.
Day 30 – We went to bed early last night and slept in this morning. Yawn. We didn’t do much today, just made a loaf of bread, took a drive around the campground – it’s HUGE, and basically preparing for our trip tomorrow for a week visiting my daughter, Pam. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky. We’ll be staying at the campground we stay at every time we visit, Charlestown State Park in Charlestown, Indiana.

Day 29 – It was 38 degrees and sunny this morning – a beautiful day. We are on the eastern side of Ohio. Today we drive closer to the western side of Ohio, about 20 miles from Cincinnati. We left our short, narrow campsite at 10:45 a.m. The RV was covered with Ladybugs.
TRAVEL DAY: BRUCETON MILLS, WEST VIRGINIA TO REEDSVILLE, OHIO.
Day 28 – At a little after 7 a.m. it was 34 degrees and sunny. Daylight Savings Time granted us an extra hour. The campground emptied out fairly quickly; the weekend was over. After dumping tanks, we departed McCollum Campground at Coopers Rock State Forest, and once again drove the road which was meant for only one vehicle at a time, yet vehicles were coming in the opposite direction, too. Crazy. It was 10:25 a.m.
A CATCH-UP DAY
Day 27 – It’s cold in them thar hills! 34 degrees this morning. Good thing we’ll be heading south soon. AND that the girls have their heating pads.

TRAVEL DAY: THURMONT, MARYLAND TO BRUCETON MILLS, WEST VIRGINIA.
Day 26 – We hope you had a wonderful birthday, Ted. Hi Carol. Did you guys go somewhere fun for dinner?
It was 38 degrees this morning when we got up at 7:30 a.m. While we got ready to leave for our next campground, the girls lined up on the dashboard and looked out the windshield at the Sparrows walking around on the roof of the Honda. Kept them occupied until they realized we were packing up.
TRAVEL DAY: FELTON, DELAWARE TO THURMONT, MARYLAND.
Day 25 – Cold this morning, 40 degrees. We are heading to western Maryland today; it will be even colder. On another subject, we’ve been watching the girls do their business in the litter box for several days. All is still normal. Must’ve been a false alarm. Good!
GOOD LUCK TODAY, LIZ! THINKING OF YOU.
Day 24 – Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, day 2. The weather report is for sun, although it was only 42 degrees this morning when we got up. We decided to spend another day at Bombay Hook.

Day 23 – It was supposed to rain most of the day, so we decided to check out a different Wildlife Refuge in the morning. Prime Hook was 20 miles south of our campground. We’d been there a long time ago after visiting Bombay Hook and while it was good to see the migrating Snow and Canada Geese at that time, the Refuge wasn’t set up as well for spending a lot of time for viewing the birds.

Day 22 – It was 50 degrees this morning, sunny and windy. We slept better last night because we didn’t have to leave the hallway light on; Rob attached a flashlight to the wall of the shower instead. Not nearly the glaring light as the night before. The girls also slept well – they all discovered their pads were heated again.
Continue readingHAPPY HALLOWEEN!
TRAVEL DAY: NORTH EAST, MARYLAND TO FELTON, DELAWARE.
Day 21 – It was a long night. To provide enough light in the shower stall for the camera to film the cats using the litter box at night, we had to leave a bright light on in the hallway all night. Everyone wants to be filmed while going to the bathroom, right? LOL. Well, the cats seemed mystified, noticing the camera and looking up at it, and dumb old mom & dad left the light on in the hallway – this is what happens when they drink too much! So half the time, they’d see these changes, the light & the camera, and not use the box. Then, they’d come back in and try again. And again. And so it went. The bright light and all this activity did not help us sleep either. Anyway, so far, we cannot find a cat with a bladder problem, but they will be watched and filmed for a couple of weeks. That light will drive us all crazy, though!
