When we were in South Carolina, the azaleas were in full bloom. When we were in North Carolina, the trees were fully leafed out. As we traveled north on I-95 yesterday, the leaves on the trees got smaller and lighter green. We started seeing flowering redbud and dogwood trees. We arrived home to find our yard and garden on the cusp of Spring. We left a monochromatic yard with white snow on the ground and bare grey trees. We returned to a colorful yard with bright green grass, tulips, dogwood blossoms and a few azaleas blooms. We even had swiss chard and lettuce waiting for us in the cold frame. Spring is a wonderful time to come home!
Following the trend for these kinds of things - here is our trip "By the Numbers":
3,486 - miles traveled
49 - nights on the road
32 - blog entries
21 - campgrounds (9 state, 5 private, 4 municipal, 2 national, 1 relative)
9 - States visited
9 - kayak trips
3 - major thunderstorms that lasted more than 24 hours and involved major flooding.
Thank you for reading our blog, and for sending us comments and emails about it. We have enjoyed writing it and sharing our adventures. Our next trip will be sometime this summer.
We met you at Port St. Joe SP. After we left there, we went to the Winter Springs area, then Indialantic, and at that point, 2 nights opened at Fort Clinch SP, over Easter weekend, so we were up there for 3 days, before heading back to the Ronceverte, WV area. We enjoyed meeting you , and if you are over to the Lewisburg-White Sulphur Springs area, let us know.
