I have to say you made it seem easy peasy for Winnona to drive right through--gotta acknowledge David for being the fearless one at the wheel. <br /><br />Sad to see you leave the coast but I know you will have more terrific coastal experiences in the months ahead. <br /><br />I am one of those who love to hear trains day or night. The shaking might be another story, however. <br /><br />Big EZ Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042182363320148353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-59375253759079541542013-10-12T00:29:25.467-04:002013-10-12T00:29:25.467-04:00So sorry you got kicked out of the seashore over a...So sorry you got kicked out of the seashore over all this gov BS.

What a stupid mess our county is in. The good news, is that I'm sure you'll go back!<br /><br />You are braver than me. I cringed just looking at your pictures of that narrow tunnel. Too narrow for me to be in a motor home. I think I would have chosen the 100+ mile detour. <br /><br />The campground seems like it's in a great location but 6 feet away from the tracks is a bit too close. I think I would spring for a site further away, but I think I would consider it to be close to Williamsburg.

My father in law had never been over the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel and always talked about it, when we drove his ashes from FL to NY we took him over, ever since has been a bit poignant to go over.

A co-worker's parents had plans to visit Utah and Arizona this week and had to cancel. A friend is in France and planned to visit WWII memorial sites and the US sections were closed! <br /><br />I do hope that you enjoyed Colonial Williamsburg. I love that place and was down there in July. Not as crowded as it used to be which is startling. I do not want CW to decline. I plan to take my grandchildren when they are old enough.
