Only 8 hours 45 minutes from Springfield to Fern Lake, and that included an unintentional detour through Philadelphia, Trenton, and Princeton. Take a gander at a map to really appreciate the magnitude of that navigational faux pas. At least I missed the New Jersey Turnpike entirely… and found gas for only $2.28 / gallon. No mice (or signs thereof) and no mosquitoes! Disconnecting the coach batteries when leaving the RV unattended for awhile worked as advertised… refrigerator started right up. After stowing food and clothes, removed the remaining glass from the broken window and cleaned up the residual mess using the shop vac. Discovered why you don’t park an RV under a large (and apparently quite virile) oak tree during the nutting season. It may be a long night…
