Santee, SC to Richmond, VA

Drove from Santee So Carolina to Richmond Virginia, I95 all the way. Set the speedometer on 59 and didn't have to brake except for gas stops til we got to downtown Richmond during the rush hour. Not much to see along the way except for trees, both sides of I95 were lined with big trees all the way.

Our time at Santee State Park was nice - did 't need the AC at all. No mosquitos but lot's of gnats, fleas and flys. We sat outside, rode bikes and walked through the woods. Squirrels and great big spiders were the only wildlife we saw.

Our park here is the closest one we could find to Jerry (about 25 miles). No shade, but the driveway is graveled and the yards have grass.

We should be in New England in plenty of time for the colors - it's still fairly warm - but Pat is saying snow around the great Lakes this weekend.
