That's all she wrote follow.  Gary took me to the train station

Goodbye to our summer Home!

Our new adventures begin!

Road trip Final stretch home

First stop after Rochester is Ive's Run COE in PA

The site I reserved the electric box was 60 feet away so after much finagling we got the spot across the way

A bit of a view of the lake

They built a channel between 2 reservoirs,   Lake Hammond which had clean water and Lake Tioga which had acid drainage from old coal mines.   Mixing water from Hammond Lake to Tioga Lake improves it's water quality 

View from dump station on our way out.

Next layover was near Harrisonburg.  Being close to Shenandoah Valley RV Parks were $90 a night so found a County Fairgrounds that had sites for $40.

Next stop Floyd WV

We venture into the Town of Floyd

 Place recommended by Park Host was closed so we went to Floyd's Country Store

Cute place, Lunch was delicious.  I guess it used to be more of a country store, but now it's more gift shop and cafe.

A stop at the arts center in the way back 

We went back later to listen to some bluegrass music

I had wanted to stay 2 or 3 nights but someone was wanting to look at the 5rh wheel and the government shutdown was the next day.  We take the blue ridge pkwy
