June 29, 2014 - Trip Home

We left the campground at 7:00 AM. On our way, George saw a sign for a McDonald's as he had a hankering for a Sausage McGriddle. So of course we have a 42 foot motorhome plus a 3 foot tow bar, plus a 15 foot SUV. So George pulls into the McDonald's with this huge 60 foot vehicle. OMG! He stayed with the motorhome and I went into the restaurant to get he food. Before going in, I scouted out how we were going to get Big Betsy at of the place. Inside the restaurant, place was mobbed! They had one person cooking the food, one person filling the orders for the drive-thru, one person on the on cash register taking orders, one person filling orders for the inside orders, plus the manager who was working taking orders, and filling orders. There was easy, 20 people waiting for food including myself. Plus the new people pouring in to giver their orders. It took me 25 minutes to get my FAST food. Before we began to feast, we had to get out of this place. Fortunately I wasn't driving because I shut my eyes and hoped for the best. Whew! Made it out of there with no problems. I kept saying to myself, that McDonald's needs to have deliveries made via those huge tractor trailers. The only difference between us and the tractor trailers is we can't back up when towing the SUV. Upon an occasion over the course of our RV travels, we have, had to unhook the SUV so we could get out of a tricky situation. We stopped for fuel once in Ohio, as we didn't want to pay Pennsylvania prices. We bought it for $3.82 a gallon, as opposed to Pennsylvania at $4.50 a gallon. We tried stopping at a rest stop in Pennsylvania when we got on the Turnpike but they only back in spaces for RVs and Trucks, so we pushed further. At the next one we ended up parking for long enough for George to use the facilities in a non-parking zone as all of the RV and truck spaces were filled. I also took Abby out. We then headed home. We actually rolled into NJ around 3:30 PM, and physically got home in the house around 4:30. We didn't eat dinner until around 7 PM. I only brought enough food home that would fit into a small cooler. We had hotdogs and cucumber salad. It was good to be home.
