October 7 – Shenandoah Valley National Park and Appalachian Trail, Luray Caverns

This has been a phenomenal day. I suppose you could sum it up by saying we got really high (summitted Stony Man Mountain), and then hit rock bottom (Luray Caverns – at about 180 feet underground). Beth joined us around 0815 hrs. this morning, and we set off for Shenandoah Valley National Park. There are […]

October 6 – PA-MD-WV-VA

Another gentle start to the day – this is becoming an enjoyable habit! It was a misty morning with occasional spurts of rain. On moving day, we start the process as we wake up. Most important is to get the coffee on for Bill! I start packing up each room – a successful move requires […]

October 5 – Delaware and Keeping It Real

How Bill starts the morning – coffee and apple dumpling: Today we decided we would visit Delaware. Apparently, you can’t get there from here easily. We avoid toll roads when possible. We did have a lovely drive, reminiscent of the old “Sunday Afternoon Drive”. Our travels took us through Amish Country, we shared the roads […]

October 2-4 – Maryland, Gettysburg Day 2, and Pennsylvania

Time for a little catch-up here. Wednesday was a day to tidy things around the house and enjoy the campground. We went to Walt’s house for dinner and to wish him well on his trip. Thursday was designated Gettysburg Day 2. Great plans – but we forgot to designate one of us to be responsible […]

September 30 – October 1 – Pennsylvania to Maryland, Seeing Walt, and Gettysburg

Yesterday we traveled from PA to MD, a delightfully uneventful trip enjoying the sights and I did some serious knitting. We landed at Little Bennett County Campground in Clarksburg, MD. This is our second visit – this particular park is great! Many upgrades since we were here two years ago. They have added cabins and […]

September 29 – Leaving The Mass(es)

The wheels on the truck were turning by 0920 hrs. this morning – a great travel day – sunshine on our back, and much less traffic. In a general southwest direction, we made our way out of Massachusetts and on the way to see and explore new places. We have figured out that rest areas […]

September 28 – Dinosaurs in Connecticut!

We needed to visit Connecticut, and our daughter suggested we check out Dinosaur State Park (and let her know if she would like it). We left, on what our GPS suggested would be a 90-minute drive and arrived 3 hours later. You know what? It was completely worth it! I had visions of seeing dinosaur […]
