^John, we're about an hour north of Boone, so we're "on the way" to your nieces' place. Just a few miles off of Route 77. We are currently in the middle of massive renovations, so no room for company right now, but as soon as the place is finished we'd be thrilled to have you.
Left Jersey around 1 PM on Monday during the heavy rain. Traffic was moving around 30 mph on the PA Turnpike, so we pulled off at Morgantown and grabbed a room at the Holiday Inn. Figured it may be the last time in the area, so ate dinner and breakfast at Shady Maple. Left Tuesday morning for NC. Near Harrisburg, I started to smell burnt antifreeze and a film was building up on the inside of the windshield of the Silverado. Blown heater core. Drove the rest of the way with the heat off and the windows open. Only lost about an inch of antifreeze in 6 hours, but we did get here safely yesterday afternoon.
So, you want my address for the WAZE do you? What kind of fool do you think I am?
