1st Full Day at Thousand Trails Near Hershey!

Another beautiful day in the Hershey Area!  We had a late breakfast and then took a long walk around the CG.  It certainly is a sprawling one!  Many different areas to camp with numerous amenities.  Really is a very nice setting!

Looking across the small lake towards one
of the camping areas!

Lots of geese and their babies, plus a duck with her
little ones on the little pond in the CG!  So cute!

Took sometime to relax and then made reservations for future camping adventures this summer - Circle M for 3 days with our 3 granddaughters and then 5 days in August at Sea Pines near Wildwood.  Most of July we are on the road - 1st a 2 week trip to 1000 Islands in NY and then to this CG near Hershey with the 2 other couples we camp with many times throughout the summer.  Lots to look forward too!!!!  Then we spent time trying to learn how to use our new handheld GPS to do geocaching.  I guess we aren't to electronic savey, for we had so much trouble trying to understand how it worked.  Ken ended up calling Magellan support and the lady was so patient and helpful.  So we downloaded 3 geocaching sites from geocaching.com that were in the Mt. Gretna area.

After lunch we loaded the bikes and headed to Mt. Gretna to ride the Rails to Trail and to try our skill at geocaching.  Two new benchmarks were accomplished today - I actually wore my brand new helmet to ride and we found our 1st geocache!  Boy, what a day!  Did I mention that finding the 1st site was a bust!!!!  Never could figure out that one!  Oh well, 1 out of 2 isn't so bad!!!  Also saw a deer today while riding the trail.  Another day to remember!

Bike helmets are so attractive!!

Ken, are you sure this device is working properly?

Success!  Our 1st finding!  A paper to sign
 in a small hollowed out stick!  Note
the attractive helmet!!!!

We love seeing deer!

Also picked up "Diesel" on the way back and only had to pay $86.00 to get an oil and filter change and a lube!  Wow!  After some of the other bills we have had the last 2 years, this was nothing!!!

Tomorrow is expected to be a raining day!  Sounds like relaxation to me!
