Cross Country Trip – Day 74

1 Jun 2018

I was up and out of The Yellow House by 6:30 am.  It was a fairly short trip over fairly decent roads through Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut.  The only strange thing was to be on interstate highways the whole way and having to pay tolls.  I paid cash to the tune of $7 total for Maine and New Hampshire.  I have no idea how much the Massachusetts tolls will be since they do it only by tag.  

When I was at Niagara Falls, they gave you a web site you could log onto and pay the toll.  There was no ability to do that for Massachusetts.  I have to wait for an invoice.  That has to be expensive.  I’ll probably owe $100 for tolls.

I made it to the so-so Quality Inn in Stratford, Connecticut and immediately started a load of clothes.  I think I’ve washed more frequently on the trip than at home, but then again, the hiking clothes need washing after one use.  They don’t pass the sniff test after a hike – then again, neither do I.

It was overcast the whole trip today with intermittent rain showers but nothing to hinder the travel.  I think Massachusetts drivers are the most impatient of the states I passed through today.  Speed limits are obviously only suggestions to state residents.

After washing clothes, I wanted to hit a Subway for dinner (and keep the half left over for lunch tomorrow.  Unfortunately, TripAdvisor was not up-to-date and the Subway shop was no longer there.  I then opted for the #1 recommended restaurant in Stratford: The Lazy Dog Tavern which was bar food.  That means fried and I’ve about had it with fried food – a horrible thing for a Southerner to say.

As I pulled up to the tavern, I noticed a Polish sandwich shop and opted for their selection.  I chose the meat lovers sandwich on a Polish roll.  I now have half left over for lunch tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I wind my way to Shenandoah National Park and Big Meadows Lodge.  I really do like staying in national park lodges when possible.  Hopefully, the weather will hold so I can do some hiking.  The ankle brace seems to be working its magic and I haven’t had any twinges with the ankle today.  Keep your fingers crossed!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
