Winter Excursion 11, Day 5

We were lazy this morning after the time change. Cath made some super good French Toast for breakfast (or was it brunch)....LOL

We did some camp maintenance and stayed around camp. 

Early afternoon we left camp and went to Mister Ed's Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium. We have been there before and were able to stock up on peanuts and candy. They have all the old stuff we remember from our childhood.

Back at camp we enjoyed the weather and sat outside by the fire until dusk.

We did find these painted rocks near our site. Cath was scared of the eyes on the top rock! The other is supposed to be a flag. That kid will not be an artist!

We are going to do a little exploring tomorrow. Stayed truned for more fun!

Winter Excursion 11, Day 4

We left camp at 0930 (beat our 1000 as the latest departure time). Got on I-81 and drove the 270 miles to our new campground at Caledonia State Park near Chambersburg, PA. We've been here before and really enjoy the area. It's near where I grew up and went to college. We had some nice cloud formations on the drive.

We arrived around 1430 and called our camping friends, Bob & Marie, and made plans to meet them at a local joint for dinner. They are camping in Gettysburg, PA. about 20 miles from us. We had a great evening catching up as we've not seen them since June. The "local joint" was a joint, but nice. Beer was cold and the food was good! We will meet up again in Jun 27 at Ives Run Campground.

Back at camp we watched a John Wick movie. We are looking forward to Chapter Five.

Here's a pic of our new site. We are here for a week.

All is well in the Boss Camp!

 

Winter Excursion 11, Day 3

We had a very brief rain shower early this morning when a cold front blew through. Today's weather was way different than yesterday's. The high today was around 50 and the wind was kicking all day. 

We hung out a camp did a few chores, packed up for our trip tomorrow, and grabbed a couple of showers.

We left to see our friends again in the afternoon and was treated to a super good Lasagna dinner. We will see them again in the spring on our way home. It will be nice to camp together and walk to each other camper instead of driving 40 minutes...LOL

We got back to camp before dark. We are in the country so we didn't want to deal with any deer wandering around on the roads.

We are on the road again tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 11, Day 2

We hung out at camp today and did some camper maintenance. Cath worked on the inside and I worked on the outside. It took me a few hours to get rid of all the Ladybug/Japanese Beetle tracks, but it looks good now. Cath did a great job on the bathroom and made a super good dinner of Chicken Tetrazene.

Our Friends came over around 1500 and we had a good time catching up on all kinds of stuff. After dinner and a nice slice of the local Apple Crumb Pie Jean ad Chris headed home. We will see them tomorrow.

We sat by a campfire and watched the sunset.

Along with the honking geese and the great evening temps (70s) it was a nice end to a great day. Temps are going to turn a lot cooler tomorrow.
 

Winter Excursion 11, Day 1

Well here we go again. This is Winter Trip Eleven (11)!😀😂😉😊

We left home this morning around 1030 after closing up the house. We are actually getting pretty good at this...LOL

We did the quick drive (125 Miles) to our first campground. We've used Greek Peak Campground for the last few years. It works great as it gives us time to do final shut-down on the house and still get to a nice campground in the afternoon.

Another plus is we have some camping friends in the area so we get to see them one more time before next spring.

We are here for three nights. Here's a few pics of the campsite and campground. As usual we are the only camper in the park. It closes on Saturday.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 225

The day started early as we wanted to leave before the forecasted rain started. As usual the weather guessers were wrong. We had no rain this morning and didn't get a drop until after we were home.

On the way home we stopped at the Ford Dealer and checked out our new truck.💙 Even Cath really likes it. The blue heart is for Ford blue. We pick it up next week!

We got home around 1430. All is well. We got the camper all set up and will turn on the house water tomorrow.

After a quick visual of the house it looks like all is well.

We will spend the next few nights in the camper, but it's good to be home!

It's been a good winter tri[p with the exception of the truck issues we had. It will be good to get the new one, but we had no issues with the old one since the engine change. 👌 I just need to get it to the dealer for trade-in.

Next blog post will be 28 Oct 26. Stay tuned!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 224

We did a little pancake breakfast as I didn't want to set up the flattop for just one meal. It turned out nice and everyone had plenty for  breakfast.

We spent the morning packing up in preparation for leaving for home tomorrow.

We did leave camp in the afternoon for a few supplies and to fill the truck with gas.

In the late afternoon we all went to a local joint that has draft beer and the best Philly Cheesesteaks! We were all stuffed once again. We will be glad to get home and start our fasting!
