6/1/2009 Killens Pond State Park, DE Sunny, warm (low 70's).
Up a little early and onto the road for the longest distance this trip. West on I-95, NW to I-84 across the Hudson River, then South on I-87 (NY Thruway) and I-287 around Newark NJ. Then onto the NJ Turnpike, over the Delaware River Bridge into DE, and down DE-1 to US-13 and the campground at 4:00 pm. Some 410 miles total.
The trip wasn't all that hard but there was enough traffic to force one to pay attention, and a sufficiency of squirrels doing strange things like exiting to the right from the left lane. Only saw one accident and it didn't look bad.
D's brother Tom and companion Abby had us come to their townhouse for drinks and chats, then we went to the M/V Last Chance, a 65' boat owned by five old reprobates who decided to have fun with a boat. It's going to be beautiful when they finish, and parts of it are beautiful now. I'll go take some pictures of it tomorrow. There's some real work gone into making over that boat.
Then we went to a mexican restaurant for dinner, and chatted some more. Lots of laughs and fun.
We departed when we returned to their house to get home not-too-late. Now I'm doing these notes and will shortly settle in....
