A BUSY DAY.
Day 403 – Well, you can’t be lazy every day. We decided to go back to the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. It was 30 degrees last night and is supposed to get into the 20’s tonight. It was less windy this morning. We figured we’d better go out today since it continues getting colder for the next few days.

Day 402 – Yep, winter is here. It recently snowed in NY and is supposed to snow again a couple of days after we get home. Here in NJ it is cold and windy. The low last night was 39 degrees, and today the high was only 45. The wind makes it feel much colder than that. We stayed at home in the RV except for a trip to the closest grocery store, 20 minutes away. We don’t mind cuddling with the girls; we’ll take that kind of day anytime.
A STAY-AT-HOME DAY.
Day 401 – It rained hard all night and was very cold and windy today. We stayed at home, wrapped in blankets and cats. It was a very nice day. This campground is quite nice, especially off-season. The campsites are spacious and there are plenty of trees and bushes between the sites. Only a few people are camping now; it will probably get busier over the weekend. For now, it’s peaceful and quiet.Yawn!
COLD & RAINY.
Day 400 – Another cold morning at 33 degrees when we got up, it only reached 52 degrees today. It started raining in the late afternoon and it’s supposed to continue into tomorrow. They are expecting snow tonight and maybe tomorrow where we live in NY. We’re sorry to miss that, but our time will come soon.

From: Trap Pond State Park, Laurel, DE.
To: Nummy Lake Recreation Area Campground, Belleplain State Forest, Woodbine, New Jersey (NJ).
Day 399 – Brrrr. It was 33 degrees at 6:30 a.m. this morning. The high today was only 49 degrees, but it was sunny and that helped. We’re getting closer to home, and winter temperatures are expected there. Looking forward to that first snowfall!
DELAWARE WATER GAP.
Day 87 – It rained last night and was 54 degrees this morning around 7 a.m. We departed at 10 a.m. It was partly cloudy. Most of today’s trip was on I-80. We had decided to try for a campsite at the Worthington State Forest Campground, located just across the PA border in New Jersey along the Delaware River.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN.
Day 41 – After much to do about nothing (Pixie), we departed home at 11:15 a.m. It was 39 degrees & sunny. Lots of pretty snow & ice everywhere, but the roads were clear, and the air was crisp. We were hoping to just repeat the same journey that we made in late January when we rushed home, staying at the same places & taking the same routes. We’d made reservations back at Edisto Beach State Park, where we were staying when the knee problem began. There was so much to do there & we never got started.

Day 5 – Cold, 27 degrees, but sunny and clear, 6:35 a.m. Got a fairly long drive ahead of us to make it from NJ to NC and have time to set-up at the campground before dark. But I have to wonder whether we should just start this blog all over again with this being the first day of the trip (since we went all the way back home again and started over), or maybe call this Trip 1-B?
