Yesterday, Saturday, Doloris and Fred arrived at our house at 7:15 and they followed us with their rig for the drive to Colonial Beach. We stopped right before the Maryland border on Route 83 to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Definitely not a favorite of mine, but they sure are RV friendly for parking. With the 5th wheel, sometimes our choice for stops is rather limited. Only 1 more stop for something to drink.
We arrived at Harbor View CG, a Thousand Trail Park, around 1:00. Several weeks ago they have 22" of rain in a relatively short time, and the CG resembled a lake. It is still abit "soggy", but fine! This is another example of a park that is in need of some TLC. There are not a lot of sites, but the CG has many acres and is in a quiet area. Seems to be a rather depressed area. The CG is obviously older, as most of the sites are deep, but the cement pad and the hook-ups are so close together that it is hard to get in between them. We had to put our tires on the cement to fit into the site. (Most have been designed for smaller rigs way back when!!!) We had some problems getting set-up, but eventually we were level and ready for the fun to begin. Kathy and Sam got here about an hour after us. So, the 6 of us are looking forward to a full week of fun. (This is the first time Fred and Doloris will be camping for an entire week! They are so excited!)
All of us took a walk outside of the park. It was about a 2 mile circle of nice homes that back up to the Potomac River. No traffic on that road, since is really goes "nowhere", but around! The men made a campfire and we had an easy supper of hamburgs and baked beans. Then we sat around the fire chatting and called it a night around 10.
Let the good times roll!
