Day 12 - 4/18

Went through the forest, found lots of rhododendron plants, a pretty creek, and a seemingly self-sufficient little town on the way out. Got on the interstate and headed northeast. Stopped at a gas station to fuel up and add gear oil to the t-case, but when hot, it dumped a pint of blistering hot oil on the ground as soon as the plug was removed. Cleaned up the mess and continued on. While cleaning up the oil, found a slight gas tank leak, small enough to be ignored for a while. Went around DC, up by Baltimore, then into NJ. Got maps at a 7-11 and found our destination. It was too late again to bang on the door, so slept in the jeep.
