Thursday - 11 Feb/16

We stayed overnight in the motorhome which was in storage. We were up and on the road by 6:30 a.m. Two 750 mile driving days will get us home.

On our way to I-95 we were delayed by a transport accident. The truck/trailer was on it's side and the driver was helicoptered to hospital. We were delayed about 20 minutes. No other vehicle appeared to be involved.

We were on the I-295 (Eastern side) going around Jacksonville when we spotted the highway and the on-ramp traffic stopped. Luckily we were able to exit and went north for a few miles on city roads before taking a route to I-95 Northbound.  The accident had just happened and emergency equipment was passing us in the other direction. We could have lost a few hours here; but were lucky to spot the backup in time to exit.

All clear (roads and skies) to our night stop at the Super 8 in Fredericksburg, VA. We pick Super 8 because they have a 6 a.m. self-serve breakfast which gets us on our way quickly in the morning. We picked Fredericksburg to get us past Richmond, VA and off I-95 for starting the next day
