| Leaving Maryland on May 27, 2015 |
Driving through D.C. was a breeze, as was cruising by Frederick and Hagerstown, MD. Our itinerary had us reaching Grantsville, MD, in time to stay overnight at the local Pilot Travel Center. Free "lodging" is a courtesy they extend to RVers traveling the country. Advance reservations are not an option, and unfortunately, upon arrival in Grantsville, the Pilot Travel Center was filled to capacity with those cowboys of the highway: truckers. The truckers have parking priority, so we moved on down the highway, eventually finding our way to Morgantown, WV, where we spent the evening in a Walmart parking lot. Walmart also extends the privilege of overnight parking to weary RVers who need to rest.
As planned, we departed for our next destination, Terre Haute, IN, promptly at 7am on May 28. We left West Virginia and passed through Pennsylvania, only to re enter West Virginia again. Leaving West Virginia a second time, we entered the state that is round on the ends and tall in the middle,
o-HI-o.
During a visit to one of the highway rest areas, we met another short in stature, high in personality dachshund named Kamikaze, or Kaze to his friends. Kaze was your typical, full of love and energy dachshund; you would never know he was going blind. (He has detached retinas.) He seems to have adapted well to his setback. And just a by the way, the little fellow was rescued.
Today was another easy day of driving, getting us to our destination of the Terre Haute, IN, KOA campground, just about a half hour after our scheduled arrival of 4pm.
Though Scout, Deutsch, and India were well behaved and traveled well today, the barking in the campground upon arrival garnered them some unwanted attention. We asked the sheriff to feed them well and to give them some blankets to crawl under. We said we'd be by the jailhouse around 7am the next morning to bust them out so we'd all be ready to mosey on down the road to Eisenhower State Park in Kansas. We hope the little felons, uh, fellows, that is, slept well!

Hi this is Meredith - kazes owner. Ki shared the blog with me. What a wonderful idea. I rescued kaze when he was 7 weeks old. He originally hails from Arkansas but now lives in NYC with me, my husband, our other rescue dog Shuggie (short for Meshugana ) and our 10 month old daughter Keke. And is lucky enough to have Ki's farms and love to vacation on. Have a safe and successful journey!
ReplyDeleteKaze is such a sweet little dachshund. We are so happy that we were able to meet him and hear his story. Deutsch, Scout, and India are not rescues but are volunteers for all dachshunds in need. Thank you for sharing your life with not only, one but two rescue dogs.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your adventure started immediately and you already have some great memories! Love the jail pictures from the Sheriff's office, and Kaze looks so sweet! I really enjoyed reading about your trip so far and look forward to the rest of your adventures!
