 As I described in my last blog I was at Ocean Pond Campground for the past 6 days. No kayaking but I biked the four big loops shown on the map posted on my last blog. So this year I ended up biking 780 miles on my new gravel bike and paddling 110 miles in my kayak. I got lots of cardiac rehab and gained a couple of pounds, hopefully all muscle.<\/p>\n

I always watch the weather before I commit to the long drive home. I was ready to come home after my 100 days on the road and it looked like spring-like weather was coming to Cleveland starting with the first day of spring on Monday. But the forecast for Saturday in FL was lots rain all day where I was camped. I was surprised when I awoke that it was still dry but rain was coming in an hour. I quickly broke camp and was on my way by 7:45 AM. I did drive through a little of very light rain in southern GA. Traffic was light and I made really good time. I entered SC at 1 pm which was way too soon to stop for the night.  So I pushed on through Columbia & Charlotte which was slow but still made it to a nice quiet Walmart in Elkin, NC by 5:30 PM.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When I looked at Sunday’s forecast I saw that it was snowing back home but would stop in the morning and there was some snow in the mountains of WV. It was a sunny but a cold day. When I reached southern WV there were dark clouds and snow flakes, but no travel problems.  I made it home at 3 PM, Westlake was the only place I saw any snow on the ground for my entire trip. <\/p>\n

My daughter’s Joan and Pam came over and helped me unpack the RV. It was so fast it would have taken a few days with me unloading by myself, I really appreciated their thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
