All the hoop-la is over! We went to Shane and Morgan's for lunch and to visit the grandkids some more. Lunch was pizza and salad from Pizza Grill, both were good. We visited for quite a while before heading back to the Moho. Time is winding down for our stay here in Dillsburg close to family. Diane rearranged things to go to storage and thing we need for the trip south. We still have a very busy schedule.

More packing, over to Bev's for lunch. She made sloppy Joe's with all the fixings. Again, we had a nice visit, talked a little about everything but mostly how fast time goes now. We drove separately Diane had some errands to run B.J.'s, Lynne's, among other places.

Running out of time! We had lunch with Jen and Greg at Brothers Restaurant. We had a great time catching up. We haven't seen them since they left Ives Run and before their accident. So much has changed in just a few months. Back to the Moho, I took Rudy for a nice walk then over to Marzoni's for dinner with the Shirk's. We got the last of our mail and said our farewells.
Friday 29 December 2023
Here it is the last day before we pull out and once again, we have 10 things to do in 10 different places. I left first off to Mark's to drop off the kayak, over to Lorin's for a short visit, up to the storage unit, then over to visit Bev and pick up some more deer meat. Diane was leaving just as I got back to the Moho. She was off to Lynne's, Staples, gas station then over to Karen's where I met her to drop off the truck. It was 4pm when we left Karen's and we still wanted to visit Chase and Kennedy (Shane & Morgan too) one last time. Back to the Moho at 5:30, Diane started packing up the inside while I ran into town for wings from the VFW. And to think we had a month to get ready.

Finally, we are on the road to our next adventure. No vehicle to hook up. I pulled out at 10:10. Didn't get out of the campground before Diane called, she had no key for the car. I pulled over, she walked up, got key and I was on my way. Made to the Legion in Dillsburg when the refrigerator door

came open. Pulled over and fixed that, thankfully nothing rolled out. Just went under the turnpike Diane called she left her coffee cup sit on the picnic table and she was going back. Just before lunch I hit some on and off rain showers and on top of Seven Mountains it was snow. I had to slow down as it went from snow to rain and back several times. Diane was slowly catching up, but I had to eat lunch alone. It was a long nervy 197-mile drive, and I was happy when we arrived at the Love's campground just outside of Alaska PA. Diane arrived just a few minutes after Rudy and I around 3pm. She left almost right away and headed into Brookeville looking for a grocery store to get sauerkraut. She said it was an interesting town, some old building and streets straight up and down.

We were getting ready to leave, I decided to fill the fresh water and dump the tanks. Hooked up the hose turned on the faucet, no water. 😐 I checked the water at the next site, and it worked. So, I got out several lengths of hose and filled up with water and dumped tanks. Just as I was putting the last of the

hoses away there and a loud pop (I figured a firecracker) at the far end of the parking lot. Nope, it was a transformer failure and cut power to the entire place. Can't get fuel or anything. We pulled out at 9:20, hopefully get some miles behind us before we hit the snow showers. Diane needed gas but we were trying to make it Ohio where gas was much cheaper, she caved about 50 mile short of the boarder. We hit the Ohio turnpike and made it to the first service plaza. Lunch, diesel for the Moho ($3.65) gas for the car ($2.65). By now the snow was falling. After about an hour it let up and we were back on the road. When we pulled into our destination plaza, it was only 1:30. We talked it over and decided to go another 50 miles to the next service plaza. We hit some more rain showers but no more snow😁. Finally parked at 2:30 and settled in for New Years Eve. I sure was glad I filled the tank, the water at the service plaza was turned off for the winter. All of the plazas we stopped at had several restaurants to pick from, not this one, just a Hardees. After searching the freezer, we decided on air fried burgers, they were delicious.
Monday 1 January 2023 HAPPY NEW YEAR
We have only 149 miles to travel so a hardy breakfast left over potatoes, mushrooms and eggs. We left the Genoa service plaza at 10:30 for a comfortable drive of 149 mi. Believe it or not we had no rain or snow and even had 30 or so minutes of sunshine. 😀 We made to Elkhart by 2:15 and had all afternoon to unpack and settle in. The campground is kind of a dump, but it was the only we could find open this time of year. First was a good cleaning for the Moho. Three days of travel and we had dog hair floating everywhere. We finished just in time for the annual pork and sauerkraut meal. YUM! Not moving for 4 days.
