Sat May 26th - Washington - Pennsylvania

·      Time to break camp and move on (reluctantly I might add). Had leisurely breakfast and asked for late checkout.

Got coach ready for take off and went for a walk on the hiking trail around the camp. What a pleasant surprise. The walk is mostly through the wooded area surrounding the camp and by-passes ponds and an enclosed dog runs (complete with a fire hydrant) , and the cottages they have for rental (more like houses)… still in awe of this amazing campground.  Best ever!!  Janice saw a deer streaking by in front of the path (unfortunately Derek missed it … must have been preoccupied with something else).

 

 Back to camp and hitched up before heading to pool.  Derek went for a swim – Janice regretfully didn’t wear her swimsuit and was highly jealous of Derek frolicking  in the pool while she baked in the VERY hot sun. But took photos of him.

·      Left at 1:30pm and drove up to Pennsylvania to Conewego Isle Campground. The difference is like night and day from the last place.... This place is friendly as anything but quite 'scruffy' .. not up to m’lord’s and m’lady's standards. NO wifi and NO phone connection at our site.  Even the other campers seemed rather intimidating staring at us as we wound our way through the camp with our big rig to site H.  Later discovered they are a friendly bunch, out to have fun with their families. The whole place is kind of run down and in need of some repair, but it will be home for the next few days so we will make the best of it.

·      After setting up we headed to the pavilion with our computers to send email to the kids and look up area attractions

·      Storm brewing and the rain started .. so headed back to site to batten down the hatches and try to cook some dinner. There was a DJ setting up in the pavillion as we left and we wondered what on earth would be going down tonight!!!!!????? LOL...

·      Storm didn’t amount  to much and Derek BBQ’d up the MOST AMAZING pork ribs (country style with all the white meat) YUM!!!! We are starting to wonder why US meat tastes so good… more research to be done!!! Janice had a nap.

·      Headed over to the Pavliion to see the ‘hoe-down’. Turned out to be a disco for 6-15 year olds, having tons of fun.  As Derek said… this type of thing is what memories are made of for these youngsters.  Wandered around the site and headed to bed early. (One group sounded like they were having a little bit too much fun., sleep came with difficulty).
