Arriving at Gettysburg Campground in the early afternoon, I happily shook off the dust from the Finger Lakes and embraced our weekend adventure. Within an hour of setting up camp, we headed to the Links of Gettysburg for a round of golf. Voted one of the top five courses in PA, its fescue grass, tight…
Finger Lakes Anniversary
Arriving just before 3:00 p.m. at Finger Lakes RV Resort, we let the dogs run free in the dog park as soon as possible. A speedy check-in and quick setup let the fun begin fast. Perched on the eastern hilltop beside Seneca Lake, a slight breeze brought cooling relief from the bright sun, breaking the…
Lancaster 2025
“Alright, house, be good,” Ron said at 7:09 a.m. as he put the truck in gear. We headed out on our next adventure: a week in the Finger Lakes region for our thirteenth anniversary, sandwiched between Lancaster and Gettysburg on the way. Choosing to avoid the DC/Baltimore traffic, we went the more scenic route up…
Two for One at Devil’s Backbone
“We should do this,” Joe wrote when he forwarded Devil’s Backbone’s marketing email to Ron. The email advertised their July special: book one campsite, get the second free. Ron did the legwork and booked the trip. “Man, nice the whole time and rains when we get here,” Ron said as water drops started to splash…
Fourth of July in Edenton
“Away we go,” Ron said when we pulled out of the driveway, embarking on the long-awaited trip to Edenton. When we learned at Christmas of the reading of the Declaration of Independence, we made our reservations, wanting to get our favorite site, one next to the par-three golf course. After setting up, we had a…
US Open 2025
Pups in tow, we left around 7:30 a.m., pointing the rig north towards Fox Den Acres Campground, our home for the next four nights. Trying a seatbelt for Ruby instead of the crate, she did well traveling with the seasoned on I’m Rocco and Sophia, secure together in their crate. We heard what sounded like…
Ruby’s First Camping Trip
Adopting four month old Ruby from New Rattitudes, she reminded us quickly about life with a puppy. Still in house training mode, afraid of stairs, she had lots to learn. When Ron had work to do in OBX, we used it to introduce Ruby to camping life. Site 20, lots of bugs, but also a…
Lisa’s Surprise Party Weekend
“Lisa’s turning 60 and I want to throw her a surprise party .” When Dave called and told us to mark our calendars for this weekend, we immediately did. I volunteered to help in any way I could. Working with their youngest son, Joey, we planned the decorations. “This is the perfect trip to test…
Narrow Way
“First trip from the new home.” Ron’s words as he pulled himself into the Dodge marked the beginning of our venture northeast to visit Laura and family, as well as do a little work. “Are you still willing to do a website for the church?” Laura asked a few weeks ago through text. With my…
Christmas at Jekyll Island
“See ya Claymill! We’ll see ya in 10 day, 11 days, no 10 days?” Ron asked as we pulled out of our neighborhood, the clock reading 8:07 a.m. “Ten days,” I responded as we turned right, on the road of adventure and a new experience for the holidays. Arriving in Lumberton, NC, around 1:30, the…
