We’re used to seeing mule deer in the high country of Colorado.
(Not my photo.)
But lately, in the northern tier of states, we’ve been seeing white-tailed deer.
Mule deer have white rumps, so a person might make a mistake as to whether a deer was a mule deer, or white-tailed.
Unless the deer is doing this.
I think we can safely say this is a white-tailed deer.
Northern Pennsylvania.

Lots of rain and lots of Pennsylvania!
We’re getting deeper into fall colors.

Henry loves it.
We decided we’d better get Henry his own bed in the motorhome too, so he doesn’t think the new puppy is in his bed.
He loves it.
Everyone was outside their campers having such a fine time yesterday. So many friendly people. It is a lot quieter today though.
Still 490 miles to Pleasant Valley. P minus 5.
And into Ohio.
Dayton. Columbus. And almost to West Virginia. Yes, West Virginia. We’re headed through Pennsylvania, but there is this tiny sliver of Northern West Virginia for us to drive through. It will last about as long as it takes to say it. Wheeling, West Virgi… Done.
Alone in a forest?
Well, not quite the state park wilderness experience we were hoping for. We’ll see what it’s like tomorrow; if it clears out Sunday morning.
Even with the weekend crowd though, there are nice quiet trails here without another soul on them.

We’re seeing a crop we’re not used to seeing. Soybeans!
And other stuff.
And a great sky.
And lots of seed corn.
Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign. We crossed into Indiana. Now we’re in the Eastern Time Zone. Indianapolis, the largest city we’ve been through since Seattle. We got past it before rush hour on a Friday afternoon.

Now we’re camping in forests.
