We departed our driveway at 7:15 this morning and stopped in Middletown to hitch up the car. It turned out the posts that attach to the car hitch would not come out. Luckily we were heading on I 84 west which is near the RV place in Bristol. We pulled in there and someone was able to help us get it all working again and glad we had a can of silicone aboard! We were off on our way by 10:15, bouncing and bumping along I 84, then I 80 through Pennsylvania. I was worried about the bikes on the back of my car with all the pot holes and slamming we were taking, but they held fine. They are both latched on to the rack, tied with the strap that came with the hitch, bungeed, and wheels tied with string, foam between the bikes so they don't scratch! I'm glad we bought the Thule rack, but they still do bounce a bit more than I'd like to see. We arrived at Yogi Bear Jellystone RV Park in Williamsport, MD around 6:00. We only needed to open the bedroom slide and one slide in the kitchen area. That one opened, then we heard crackling or dripping sounds, and suddenly the slide worked its way back 1/2 closed! We think it may have done this because we are not level from "bow to stern". We may have to have it checked at Lasy Days RV in Florida. We planned on stopping there for 1 night anyway since it's on the way just outside of Tampa. We'll be heading out Wednesday for Raleigh, NC for our appointment to have the engine serviced. At least we have not more snow and it's a bit warmer here!
