We’ve opted to stay in the hotel for another night. The sleet is rough, and I’m really…really tired from yesterday. Slow and steady wins the race, after all.

Well that didn’t go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard that’s hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. We’ll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.

I can’t stop listening to this album. There’s something about the 1800’s era Americana theme, combined with…just really catchy melodies. I’ve actually listened to it so much that it’s caused me to watch documentaries about “Ohio Fever” and “The Year Without a Summer”.
Funny, since we just came back to Ohio after our 4 years on the road. Maybe we had Ohio Fever, too.

I think the biggest takeaway I have from our years traveling in the RV is that the world is so much smaller than you think it is. What feels like an entirely different world is usually 1-2 days away. I remember before we left, I would think “I have to go all the way to PITTSBURGH?! (2 hours away)” and now I find myself looking at the Outer Banks (9 hours away) like “I could be flying my kite on the beach before dinner today.”
Even longer trips, such as going to Yosemite National Park, is only 3-5 days of travel by car, and I’d even get to make a pit stop to Taos on the way ????.

When it’s really windy like this I still feel my stomach drop every time the wind gusts. Low key anxiety from when I lived in a camper, because I’d always worry that I left the awning out ????.

We lived full-time in an RV for about 1,300 days, and tonight is the last night I will spend in one as a full-timer for the foreseeable future. The blow is softened knowing that I have a king size mattress waiting for me at the house ????.
All joking aside I’m so, SO excited to be moving back to town. I love RV life, but we’re pretty tired, and have no wanderlust left in the tank right now.
