We are taking a long day’s drive through the East Coast, covering 665 miles over 5 states and a district. Despite being solidly along the coast, the route will be fairly forgiving, cutting through Raleigh, Richmond, DC and then… Harrisburg? There is enough urban driving, and then the drive into the Poconos to account for, so our speed will only be about 62.5mph on average. Still, 5 states in a day? Not bad.

It’s just that time of year. A low in the Gulf Stream is tailing a boundary into the Carolinas. It’s enough that there is widespread shower activity in the Appalachians tonight, and it’s liable to be a foggy morning as far north as DC. There will likely be showers embedded within the low clouds throughout Virginia as we make our way northward as well. I’ve been in Virginia only a couple of times, and it has rained every time. Is that a thing? Crossing the Potomac, and then heading north into Pennsylvania will be a bit nicer of a time. We will arrive in the Finger Lakes with mostly cloudy skies and a muggy atmosphere. The next boundary will be sliding out of Canada, making sure we don’t have TOO much fun in Ithaca.
