2 RV's to Hershey PA

... spending the night at Harrisburg PA


After breakfast, I went out and 'stood by my RV' until BB got out there. Then decided that was it. No more for me.


BB needs fuel now, I do not so she goes and fuels while I am doing my inspection.


BB had made all the plans for today, last night. Now this AM we see that fuel is a lot cheaper in Perrysburg so she is putting in just enough fuel to get there and I have enough fuel to get there.


Less than an hour later we are at our first stop, Loves in Perrysburg. $.30 less than by the hotel. I was guessing I was actually getting 8 mpg, but BB didn't think that was enough fuel so I put in more. Easier that way.


That was an extra stop, we decided not to re-do the whole day's stops.


2nd stop was now the Oasis in Amhurst for the restroom.


BB wanted to make sure that where we stopped for lunch had a big enough place to park and by now we were off the toll road. So we end up at the Country Pride at the TA. This was the first one we have seen today, the Country Pride locations have all gone ma-pa places.


I have breakfast, BB has fish. It was good, but took a little longer.


4th stop was a Sheetz gas station in State College PA. No where for me to park, it looked bigger online. There should have been room next door at the Cracker Barrell, but I headed down the street. One lane so no where to park their either. I ended up backing into a construction site. But was on what would be a road so people kept stopping to let me go. I just waited for BB to add more fuel.


From here I let BB and her GPS take the lead. Two hours of non-freeway and a dozen road names. I had looked at the route and noted the major roads but not how far on each and most did not have 'exit numbers.'


I would have been OK until the last two miles or so. That I had not looked at close enough. But if I had been leading I would have just kept going to the airport and been able to see the hotel from the final exit.


Comfort Inn Harrisburg. They have a free shuttle every half hour so we'll both ride that in the AM and then move our stuff when we have the car.


Sheetz. Is the only food within walking distance. They do make sandwiches to order but BB found a wrap she wanted on the shelf so I got a chicken salad sandwich off the shelf also. They also had egg salad and ham salad besides tuna salad. Not great, but food.


My windshield is now cracked the full bottom to top on one crack, the other cracks didn't seem to expand.


I did hit a road gator/tire today. But I sit high enough up that I don't think I did any damage.


Lots of cops out today, lots of drivers stopped.


When we got to the hotel, BB started to say "if we do this again ..." I stopped her, I knew what she was going to say. And I was right. We could have taken the freeway/toll way all the way here. Almost no mileage difference, but about a $20 toll difference. Worth it for us. We will likely go back that way.

We have a 9 AM shuttle set up for the rental car. Hopefully have the 1st RV at delivery by 10 AM ... MAYBE ... the 2nd at delivery by 11 AM and then get back to Cleveland or Toledo before getting a hotel.
