Chipmunks
We are now in Gettysburg Pennsylvania and there are Chipmunks running around everywhere. I would get a picture but they won’t stand still long enough to take the picture. I know I have said it before but the houses we pass by while taking the country roads are amazing. I just can’t understand why they need such big houses. These have to be 4,000 sq ft with there 3 stories and most likely a basement. Susan says they remind her of the White House with there tall columns in front. These are set back from the road a couple hundred yards with manicures front lawns. Some are surrounded with corn or wheat fields. It should have only taken us about 2 hours to get here but we had to take a detour that added another half hour to our drive. Looks like we are headed for the mountains. We have been traveling along the coast lines since entering the gulf coast of Texas and barely got higher than sea level. Now we are turning inland and have run into some foothills. We are only at about 700 feet now but once we head toward Niagara Falls we will be heading over the Allegheny Mountains. Since we have been heading down the country roads, I don’t think I have had the coach over 55 MPH in a while, mostly 45. Probably good on gas mileage.
