We left Cape Cod Monday the 23^rd and headed south for warmer weather.  After the drive the prior week from the Cape to Long Island on I-95 without the rig, we knew we would need an alternative route when it came time to pack up and move.  We consulted the experts, Ken & Judy.  They’ve been down this road a few times, and we knew they’d have some good advice.  We traveled back up 495 to the Mass Pike, southwest on 84 through CT & NY, picked up 81 south in PA, down through MD, VA, & TN, to 75 in Knoxville and on into Florida.  Virginia was very cold..28*.  Tennessee was very pretty.  I-81 is a great road with colorful trees and wide grassy medians.  “Thanks Dad & Judy for your suggestion…this route provided a very enjoyable trip”. We’ve just arrived at Manatee Springs State Park near the west coast of Florida so, we’ll explore around a little and then put up a few notes and pictures.  ….until then, have a good one!
