Trip Log

May 1, 2009

We are at home and unpacking.  We spent last night camping at Roamer's Retreat Campground in Gap on route 30 this side of Lancaster and we are now storing the trailer there until we leave for Erie for the 4th.  Yesterday we drove home with a load of stuff and then stopped at Jeff's on the way bac

The weather has turned cool and is getting cooler.  We drove into Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, shopped the outlets and then drove through Lewes.

We went back to Ocean City to see the sights without the crowds.  We walked the boardwalk and then the beach.  It was hard to believe it was the same place without the crowds.

We didn't realize Assateague Island was so long.  It goes north to the Ocean City inlet and the state and national parks are only 4 miles south of the campground.  Both parks have very large campgrounds along the ocean and bay and even have walk in tent camping.  There are no utilities at the sit

We are camping at Frontier Town, a very nice and large campground a few miles south of Ocean City and right on the bay.  It is very nice with an attached Old West theme park and water park.  Plenty to do  for the kiddies and the child in the adult.  The season doesn't start until next weekend so

We settled at Chesapeake Campground in Deep Creek, VA next to the Dismal Swamp canal.  We were trying to stay at the First Landing State Park on Cape Henry at the mouth of Chesape

April 21, 2009

A very nice place so today we took advantage of it.  We worked, walked, rested and generally caught up.  Monk enjoyed the walk as well but had to stop and investigate anything remotely interesting.

April 20, 2009

We drove back to the Outer Banks and visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial.  Being a pilot, I knew it would be interesting but actually being there and seeing all the details and preparation brings a new meaning to the accomplishment.  We then drove down to Jockey's Ridge State Park and w
