Good-bye to the Martins!

Saturday night the 4 of us played cards till 12:30 AM and then we headed outside to look for the display of shooting stars that was to happen in the nighttime sky from midnight til dawn5:00.  There were supposed to be about 25 to 50 per hour, but we were disappointed.  Only Fred and Doloris witnessed 1.  So much for staying up late!

So, we were very slow at "rising" Sunday morning.  Fred and Doloris were leaving today and it is their last camping adventure for this season.  A sad day for them and us, for we had such a good time together.  But, they slept in their trailer 43 nights this year, doubling last year's camping record.  They are also looking to purchase a larger rig so this could be the last year for their Surveyor.  Time will tell.  Fred winterized before heading home and Doloris did some "housecleaning" so Ken and I cooked breakfast in Willie for the 4 of us - blueberry pancakes, sausage and fresh fruit.  We all contributed food to the meal.

Ken and I left the CG and headed out River Road to drive around and look for beautiful trees and mountains.  We were very successful!  We had planned to do a hike at one of best vista trails, but it is amazing how crowded the Delaware Water Gap gets this time of year on weekends.  We couldn't find a place to park at any of the parking areas.  So we checked out the old General Store in Shawnee NJ on our way back. 

We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon inside Willie, but did take a walk late afternoon when we had a lot more sunshine.  It was rather cool and cloudy until then.  Seems quiet at the CG when our camping friends leave!

Spent about an hour sitting by our neighboring campers fire enjoying some conversation about camping adventures!  Frank and Doreen Clark are from NJ and enjoy RVing at least every month. 

We spent the evening watching football, making jewelry, and reading.  Life is good!
