We took off on Memorial Day for parts north. We stopped in Jonesborough, TN to visit Sue's cousin and the meandered up I-81 to the Poconos. Cell coverage on the trip was the pits. I have both T-Mobile and AT&T hotspots. The AT&T was essentially worthless, while the T-Mobile works sometimes. We spend a few days in the Poconos before heading into NY. We wandered through the Catskills and ended up near Watkins Glenn. Stayed a few days and came back. Met up with a couple of other cousins near Mount Jackson, VA. Then we made our way to Rustburg, VA. Sue still maintains her childhood home which is mostly vacant since her Mom died a few years back. We spend just short of a week there before going back to GA on the 10th of July.
We sort of expected to find the mountains like GA and NC mountains, where there are lots of small towns with interesting shops and restaurants. Not so much in PA and NY. The areas we visited were seriously depressed with a lot of vacant storefronts. The weather was at times chilly and damp. We used our furnace a lot more than we thought we would and I didn't come out of my hoodie until we arrived in VA.
