We had a good night of rest and were ready to hit the road again this morning. We stopped at WaWa for gas and some breakfast sandwiches. (Did you know that New Jersey is now the only state that does not allow drivers to pump their own gas?) We also bought some blueberry muffins for tomorrow because they are so good. We had some dear NOMADS friends from NJ and Bobbie just loved WaWa so sometimes we just must stop there for the memories. We also stopped at Sprouts, one of our favorite stores. We haven’t seen one since we left SC 52 days ago so we picked up some more goodies for our trail mix. Then it was time to put some miles behind us, which we did for a couple of hours. Then we stopped at Big Oak County Park in Smyrna, Delaware for some walking and geocaching. It was a very nice park and we got most of our exercise for the day.
Back on the road, we drove south to the small town of Millsboro, Delaware. It is a beautiful pastoral setting, corn and soybeans in the fields. Tonight we have another very nice Harvest Host who greeted us and made sure we were comfortable. This host’s business is “Range Time”, a shooting facility. Unfortunately, the food truck that sounded so good was not here today. It will be here Saturday and Sunday. Oh, well. They also have knife and axe throwing lanes. We have some friends that did a video of themselves trying throwing for the first time. It was pretty funny, so since we had never experienced it, we gave it a try. We were given a little lesson and after some practice we were getting a little better. Not good – still rank amateurs but it was a fun new experience. Shoulders may be sore tomorrow. It was another fun day and now have all states east of the Mississippi River on our map. We know we will need to revisit New Jersey and Delaware because we haven’t given them the time they deserve, but at least we have visited. Another very nice day and looking forward to another peaceful night.
