STS planned route
In 5 days we will embark on our second trip south, to Florida. This will be the first long-distance journey we have taken since getting off the road to sell our house in the fall of 2014. And our first trip in our new Big Horn. I am looking forward to it. Jett, as always, is apprehensive.
The trip will be just over 2,000 miles and will feature long (5 days or more) stays in Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and northern Florida. There will be other shorter stops along the way for a total of 41 days, including 12 travel days.
The trip will begin with a one-night stop in Rhode Island, just to add that state to our map – the only state we will add on this trip. Then 3 days in a hotel while Camping World tries to finish the repairs that they didn’t get to earlier in the summer. I can’t say I am looking forward to that – 3 days in a hotel room with dogs, especially since it now appears that those will be three rainy days.
We then spend a few days in upstate New York where we will visit Watervliet – one of Jett’s childhood stomping grounds – and, perhaps, the site of the Woodstock Festival. Then down to Pennsylvania Amish country for 5 days, a week in Virginia visiting Jett’s sons, a few days in Myrtle Beach (right on the beach!), a full week in Charleston, a few days in Greensboro, GA, visiting some old friends, and a full week at the Escapees Sumter Oaks RV Park in Bushnell, FL, where we will establish Florida residency.
Then on to North Ft Myers for 5 wonderful, warm winter months. After the brutal winter we suffered through last year, that will be a welcome change.
I will blog as we go. Stay tuned.
