Up at 6 AM due to the alarm that went off unexpectedly! Didn’t check to make sure it was off at bedtime last night! Oh, well, we could organize our day and begin our journey home. After breakfast from hotel supplies, we packed up and were on our way around 9:15 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cached our way home as follows:

Carillon Park, Luray Virginia (sadly, no music during the week)
Samuels Public Library, Front Royal Virginia
3 Guardrail letterbox caches along the highway in Maryland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s drive from Harrisonburg VA to home was along familiar roads that we have traveled for years. We took US 33 from Harrisonburg to US 340 through Harpers Ferry WV, Boonesboro, MD, Thurmont, MD and Westminster, MD. Today we covered 5 states and 215 miles. Ms. Merlot also passed the 82,000 mile mark along the way! Making the 3-week journey a total of 2,960 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrived home around 5 PM today. Turned on the water in the house, lowered the air conditioner for a more comfortable temperature, unloaded the car and enjoyed our usual arrival dinner of Chef Joyce’s homemade pizza (previously frozen) and a very nice sparkling rose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little TV from our usual stations, some laundry, watered the plants and did a bit of catching up on all the things we missed while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great trip all around. No car issues, fun doing different things we can enjoy together and visits with family we don’t see very often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
