Rain, Rain, go away.... Tuesday Sept 6th

The beautiful cool weather we experienced all weekend came to and end Monday night and the rain set in.  We had to fold up the camper in the rain Tuesday morning. After breakfast we said our goodbyes to Bruce and Sue and their family and headed home. We decided to stay on the interstate most of the way because of the bad weather.  The traffic was heavy and we saw several caravans of utility trucks heading home after assisting with hurricane Irene cleanup. About mid afternoon we received a phone call from Shannon telling us she had been in a traffic accident on the way back to school.  No one was injured and both cars were able to drive away but she was very upset and of coarse we were very concerned. After a few calls we determined that she could drive her car on to school and were very relieved when she got there.  We drove to Hagerstown, MD and headed to a KOA but changed our mind when we came to a low lying bridge across a swollen river and a sign stating "Caution: Flood Area" and it was still pouring rain.  We went back to the interstate and found a campground at the next exit.  It was one of the Jellystone campgrounds and was very nice.  Since it was raining so hard we did not put out the beds on the camper and slept on the fold out couch and dinnette bed.  Unfortunately, we also discovered a couple of leaks in the camper, one in the shower and one in the A/C.
