Winter Excursion 11, Day 7

We had a lazy day in camp. We put our outside stuff away as rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

We drove over to some camping friends house to check out their new fifth wheel camper. It is really nice and I'm sure they will enjoy it.

We all went to a local TexMex joint for dinner and the food was really good.

Back at camp we watched a couple of movies and then hit the rack.

Winter Excursion 11, Day 6

We slept late again (sucks to be retired) and then had a nice breakfast.

We left camp around 1030 and headed to Colonel Denning State Park. It was only about 30 miles away, but I could not remember visiting when I was a kid in this area. Anyway we did the short drive and got to see the park.

It is a nice, small park with a nice trout pond. The campground is very small and hilly. Not suitable for our current camper. If you are a tenter or a pop-up-er, it's perfect.

On the ay back to camp we stopped at the Dutch Country Store. I had to have my Pennsylvania pickled egg/beet fix.

Cath picked up some black strap molasses. She says it will be used for ginger bread. I can't wait!

Back at camp it was campfire time again.

I forgot to post yesterday that we scored some cute butterflies from the elephant joint. They have magnets in them and now hang from our over-island lights.

It's been a fun time here. More to follow!

  

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.
