After driving most of the day we have arrived at the Hampton Hotel in Asheboro. The drive went well through Ontario, New York and Pennsylvania. We had thick fog in Niagara which amazingly cleared as soon as we got to the border. There was only one gate open at the border and we stood in line for about 30 minutes. We were not expecting that. It was smooth sailing right through to West Virginia where it started to rain. It wasn't bad at first but the further south we got the heavier the rain became. There was a lot of flooding in the woods that you could see. Everything is still pretty green as we saw no snow anywhere. Once we hit Virginia, the rain was a steady downpour. There were at least 6 major slow downs all related to the rain and accidents. We just took our time but when we reached the hotel we were pretty tired. We had planned to go out for a nice dinner to celebrate Ralph's 65th birthday but opted to wait till we got to Myrtle Beach. We went next door to the Kickback Jack restaurant and enjoyed a light dinner and had an early night.
