STN Hop 5: Emporia VA to College Park MD

190 miles on I-95 and I-495 (around Washington). Cumulative distance: 1,134 miles. If you want to take your RV rig out for a leisurely drive, I-95 near Washington – and I-495 (the “Beltway”) around Washington – is NOT the place to do it. These roads are always crowded and the drivers are always crazy. Just … Continue reading »

QTE Hop 4: Lorton, VA, to Foxboro, MA

This was a get-more-states-on-the-map hop. We stayed just four days at Pohick – and it warmed up after that icy start, fortunately – then did three quick trips to MD, DE and CT. It was an uneventful hop… until the end. QTN Hop 4, Day 1: Lorton, VA, to Greensboro, MD 105 miles via I-95, … Continue reading »

Amish furniture

We love Amish furniture.  Part of it is that we love furniture made from solid wood.  Another part is that we appreciated craftsmanship.  The third part is that we like a bargain. Which is why I drove for 8 hours on Saturday to pick up two oak swivel gliders to replace the very uncomfortable loveseat … Continue reading »

GTW Hop 5: Gettysburg, PA, to Lorton, VA

101 miles via PA 116, US 15, I-270, I-495, I-95 and VA 600 and 242. Cumulative distance: 775 miles. A ding-a-day. It is the theme of this trip. It would be more accurate to say “ding a hop” but that doesn’t have quite the same ring. So a ding-a-day it is. The Hop 5 ding … Continue reading »
