Running South out of the cold - Jan 27 - 29

With 0 degree temps and the bay freezing over in Hull, it was definitely time to get out of Dodge! We really had no other plans than to get as far south as possible our first night so we wouldn't freeze in the van.There was also a forecast for freezing rain down into DC and Virginia. Sane folk would book into a hotel for the night but not the Chisholms who didn't want to risk (or unpack) all the perishable food and wine. 20 miles south of DC, we stopped for a dinner break and attempted another run that only got us another 60 miles to the Cracker Barrel in Ashland, VA by 11 p.m. totaling 609 for the day. Turned out to be a good move because our frozen windows melted by the time we were ready to go in the morning with temps at a balmy 33 degrees.

We readjusted our goal from FL to SC and headed for a favorite, Buck Hall Recreation Area in McClennanville, SC for a couple days so we could stretch and relax sort of. Now that we could fill our water tanks, water started dripping underneath the van. Imagining the worst that our winterizing routine was lacking, further investigation revealed faulty elbow connections to the shower mixer. "MacGyver" is pretty good but not without parts that would have to wait another day.
