October 27, 2011. Salem, VA. The Journey.

It has been a lovely drive.  We have done it before but it looked especially beautiful today probably because of all the yellow and orange colors in the trees.   Our journey took us through Hancock and south on 522, picking up 81 at Winchester.  All afternoon we came south through the wide valley.  Two hours for Ken and two hours for me and we are done for the day.

We look like the Oakies except our truck is covered with the cap.  Fortunately, I loaded the back seat carefully with all the boxes I had packed,  so the back seat is full to the top.  This morning Ken and I loaded the five day coolers with the frozen Angus beef.  We have five coolers.  Then we filled the back of the truck with all the other stuff.  It is full to the top.

The GPS said it will take us almost 16 hours to get to Andrew and Christina's home.  As we left at 12:30, we have a long way to go but we are enjoying the trip.   The countryside is beautiful.   We expect to see them on Saturday.
