Yesterday we left our nice campsite at the Wildwood KOA near Lynchburg, Virginia. We wanted to get off a little earlier than our usual noon departure, so breakfast was a catch-as-catch-can event. I had one of my nutritional shakes, and Curt decided to fix himself a pimiento cheese sandwich. Unfortunately, the bread had migrated to the bottom of the cooler and was swimming in the melted ice. But, hey, we're camping, so that didn't bother Curt at all. He pressed the water out of the bread (as you can see on the picnic table), slathered on the pimiento cheese spread, and tucked in. What a guy!
MMMMMM..........Good,
About an hour into our trip, we hit our 2000 mile mark. Here's a shot out the car window of the farm we passed near Staunton, Virginia when the 2K rolled around. The Virginia farms were pretty impressive! This is a very small one compared to many we saw.
We settled into a campsite at a KOA near Hagerstown, Maryland. What a spot! We're right next to a creek with an unpronounceable name....though it looks like a river to me! Swam in the pool! had our showers! ate dinner! and then drove into town for more groceries? Historic Hagerstown is a pretty unique looking place!
This is the view we had this morning from our campsite as we were doing our morning devotions...and we were praying for you!
And another view of the creek through our camper window. This is the view we woke up to this morning:
This afternoon I hung around camp to relax and do a little business and creative work, and Curt went out to visit Antietam Battlefield, the site of a pivotal battle during the Civil War. If we could get his iPad to work on the 4G, we could share some of his photos. But for some reason mine is working and his isn't, so that'll have to wait.
We had a boomer and crasher of a thunderstorm this evening. It lasted over an hour, and we couldn't even talk to each other, as the rain pounded so loudly on the camper roof. But we stayed snug and dry inside, and as the rain subsided, we tried our Netflix video streaming plan for the first time. I know, that's not very camper-like, but it was dark and wet outside and too early for bed... So we pretended we were city folks, and watched a movie.
Tomorrow we plan to pack up camp early, if everything's not too wet, and head northeast. As we go through East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, we plan to visit Curt's parents' graves, and then head on to Delaware Water Gap, in eastern Pennsylvania, near the New Jersey border.
Oh, by the way, I'm re-learning how to speak Southern Mountain. The other day when we asked someone for directions, I couldn't figure out what the man was telling us until I remembered that the word "hill" has 2 syllables in the South... It's pronounced "hee-yul." Just thought you'd like to know!
Blessings to all!
Karen and Curt
