Clarion, Pennsylvania (GA579)

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

I’m currently in my 24th year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

The motorhome is parked at Shady Acres RV Park in Yuma, Arizona. I may be here until March 4th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 243 miles from Scotrun to Clarion, Pennsylvania. 99.9% of the trip was on Interstate Highway 80. At about mile marker 111.0 we passed the highest elevation of Route 80 east of the Mississippi River at 2,250 feet. Clarion is at 1,475 feet. At 5:30 AM this morning it was a cool 49 degrees. Delightful!

 

 

The first hour of yesterday’s trip was in the rain. For the rest of the day it remained mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 73 degrees and humidity of 53%. Much more enjoyable weather than I have experienced for some time.

 

 

We will continue our westerly travels later this morning.

I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
