The drive from R & D Family Campground in Milford VA to Americamps RV Resort in Ashland VA was only 31 miles and totally uneventful. Both are located, respectively, between Fredericksburg VA and Richmond VA (some 58 miles apart), and each gave me about a 15-mile drive from the RV park to the respective city. My early arrival in Ashland gave me an opportunity to visit the Richmond Visitor Center where I got some clarification and supplementation. You didn’t hear it here, but …. A) After asking where I could park near the Virginia State Capitol, I was told the visitor center is the “chaperone” for the spaces designated “20-minute parking for visitor center only.” B) I could leave my truck in one of those spaces and walk to the nearby attractions. There’s some Southern hospitality! ... read more

Taking the train to NYC, Penn Station, tomorrow. Spending the night in Richmond, rather than getting up at 4 and driving down. Mike picked the closest hotel to the Amtrak station and we drove over to see where to park and how to pay so we don't have an interesting discussion at 6 tomorrow morning! Hotel also comes with breakfast so that should be nice. Had dinner at a great strip mall Italian restaurant (actually, decent size once you got into it)--great bruschetta, good service, very pleasant dinner. Mike wants to write a book reviewing "strip mall Italian restaurants", which would be fun. Off to another adventure!... read more

Today we had a surprise day off as the Richmond Affordable Housing affiliate build day fell through, which was a nice surprise and a much needed day off! I didn’t set an alarm and awake a few minutes after 9am because I heard friends shuffling around to head to breakfast. Our hosts cooked up a wonderful spread—pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, OJ, & coffee! Beth attempted to make a breakfast burrito full of all the things and it was quite the site to see her try to master that! Raffi was also up to the challenge of eating the biggest pancake, which was bigger than his head! Silly friends ? Desperately wanting to catch up on the blog and hang, we were all slow moving as many people also had journal entries and Safety Nav reports they ... read more

This morning waking up knowing that we had a Pony Pool Party to look forward to & only 60 miles, made for a much more enjoyable wake up than 90 miles in this heat, especially after yesterday’s ride. I finished packing my freshly clean clothes before tucking in for breakfast from the men at our host. After breakfast, I cleaned out the cooler that was infested with milk & lemonade mixed together at the bottom that Carly & I discovered and nearly got sick over ? Unfortuantely the hose outside didn’t work, despite the helpful efforts from Noah, so I just dumped out the grossness & took it inside and wiped it down. I think as a team we are deciding to not carry milk around in our coolers anymore.... We had route meeting lead by ... read more
