July 9th - Claytor Lake, VA, to Harrisburg, PA

​Hank did a short trail run with the dogs. By 8:30, after showers and coffee we were on the road. We only needed one gas stop (in Stanton, VA). We arrived at the home of Hank's Aunt Jean by 2:45.

There was much trepidation as we approached Jean's house, because we needed to back up an S-shaped driveway, avoiding tree branches and a carport awning to park transvers to a three-car garage/barn. Angie called it our "final exam" of trailer backing. The scariest part was that her driveway entrance is on a pretty busy road. Luckily traffic was light and we nailed our first approach, which allowed us to get the truck off the road pretty quickly. The rest was pretty easy, because we had ample time. Even though the driveway is narrow, the grass was hard from lack of rain. So we got away with coloring outside the lines of the driveway.

Jean is one of Hank's favorite people in the world - sweet, kind and gracious. We spent a couple hours catching up, before Hank turned in for a nap. That gave Angie a chance to have uninterrupted one-on-one time with Jean.

Later we went shopping for a new pair of water sandals for Angie. We also got some Stromboli for a late dinner. The sunset over the cornfields and mountains was amazing. Later a first quarter moon shone through broken clouds. The greatest Artist was in rare form.
