Day 51- Richmond to Binghamton, New York (409 Miles, 9,644 Total)

Our jaunt North finished on Day 51 as we pulled into Binghamton, New York (State, not city) for a 4 night stay. The journey was quite something as we went from the palm trees of Florida to the snow of Pennsylvania. Over 3 days we saw the seasons and colours change and I started to really appreciate how big this country is. The whole journey was 1,215 miles- that's more than 4 return trips from Newcastle to London. This place is massive, and as a result, it can be raging fires in the west, beautiful sunshine in the south, and crisp snowfall in the north. It's big (did I mention how big it was).



As always a day in the van brought little in the way of events worthy of reporting. It did allow me to finish a book I don't really understand, get annoyed when a stretch of interstate went down to single carriageway for no apparent reason, and wonder who is in charge of grammar use for signs in welcome centres (or maybe they're just getting down with the kidz!)


Binghamton is pleasant enough, we took in some nice grub and live music at the "Lost Dog Cafe". Next is a day off in the snow. Now where did I leave my sledge :)
