'21/#37 This Time The Rain Is Real

New York is behind us and we are on our way. The roads out of Itica were quite steep and curvy. The were typical mountain roads but with patience and caution we had no problems. Some of the roads could have used some repaving which we found out when we stopped and found the trailer's contents had been rearranged, but that is life on the road. We were looking for a truck wash and missed the turn off. Oh well there will be more, but that route put us about an hour out of the way. The best tool in an RVer's tool box is flexibility.

Anyway, we continued down the road through Pennsylvania back into New York and finally into Connecticut with Mystic as our destination. Mystic Seaport is a neat place we have been to before, but there are a few new things we want to see. Of course Mary will see a couple of lighthouses, but I want to the Submarine Force Museum in Groton and the restored Charles W. Morgan in Mystic. The oldest submarine shipyard is in Groton Connecticut and the Electric Boat Co. sold the navy it's first submarine in 1900. So where better to see the history of US submarines. Farther on down the road we will see the first submarine used successfully in combat when we get to Charleston. But more on that later.

This morning it is raining as it has all night which has put a literal and figurative damper on our plans. It was easy to sleep in with the patter of rain on the roof and when we get cleaned, fed, and dressed we will make plans for the day. Hopefully the rain will let up and we can start being tourists instead of hermits. Well I am ready for my second cup of coffee so I will sign off now from our home in Stonington Connecticut because.....

Home is where we park it,
