     Packed up and on the road to Dillsburg by 10:30 (after going to the dump station and getting propane). The highway(I-81) was busy with mostly truck traffic, even finding a rest area with room was tough.  We stopped for fuel and just our luck the RV lanes are two deep with cargo trailers.  Just as we pull in one leaves but we still are barely off the road.  We wait and wait and wait and finally we get fuel and decided to go to the first rest area for lunch, nope rest area parked full.  On to next rest area we pull in take the next available spot and as I pull in I realize I can't get around the truck next to me to get out.  No worry that truck should leave before we finish lunch.  Nope,  we have lunch, go to bathroom, walk Rudy and again still the truck doesn't leave and no one is in the truck.  Crap, We unhook the truck to back up and just as we finish unhooking our truck the truck driver gets in and drives off.  Well we hooked back up in record time and buzzed right out of there.  We made it almost to Newville and traffic was backed up so we opted for route 11 through Carlisle.  I don't know if we save time but it was a much nicer ride.  We arrived at the McCurdy tree farm around 4pm got situated just before Mel and her grandkids showed up.  A nice visit, burgers and asparagus for dinner.

    Up and moving by 9 am we wanted to get to Gettysburg Farms campground by noon for opening day and it is first come first served camp sites.  We were there by 11:40 and were put in line with the 20

people who got there ahead of us.  We finally get to go in and get a nice site, it's one of two with stone for a front yard, but with rain forecasted as far out as we can see, we are happy and will be here for two weeks.  All settled in by 2pm.  Diane went to grocery store in East Berlin(we needed wine) then we had Pizza for dinner.  Sat by the fire burning the last of our firewood that we left with in January!

    Today is the start of what to do first syndrome.  But today it was easy to decide we had to move out of our little storage unit into a bigger one and the office closed at noon.  So we spent most of the day doing that and by 4pm we were wore out and ready for showers and

Rudy is not liking
being back, he 
wants to go south!!

some wine.  Back to the Moho Diane(social adviser and scheduler) made a bunch of phone calls trying to get everyone on our calendar.  Wore out we just had sausages on the grill and sat by the fire enjoying the last warm evening for awhile.

    You know how some days things just work out for you, well today wasn't it for me.  We left here heading up to work on the storage unit.  Turns out Diane makes a phone call trying to get our mail from Lynne and spends the whole day with her shopping and sampling wine. I work in the storage unit all afternoon.  I went home to get cleaned up, picked up Rudy and headed to the Shirk's for dinner (Shrimp Fajitas).  We had a really nice time catching up on what happened while we were gone. Rudy and Cody had good time running around the yard I think they missed their play time too.  So actually it did turn out to be good day for everyone.

Monday 12 April 2021

   What in the world happened to springtime?  It is rainy, cold and down right winter like.  We are digging out jeans, sweatshirts and warm clothes.  The rain finally let up enough for Rudy to go out.  We spent all morning making phone calls scheduling stuff and sorting through mail.  It is always "like Christmas" when we get back home and pick up the mail.  We forgot some of the stuff we ordered and you open it up and wow I forget we got this.  Doesn't take much to excite us!  Next it was off to Carlisle to Lowes then over to get our first COVID shot.  What an experience that was a lot of people, no where to park but actually we were in and out in 20-30 minutes.  Next we headed down to T J Rockwell's to meet Shane and Morgan for diner.  Food seemed to be a bit disappointing but we had a great time chatting.  Back to the Moho.  And just for the record that is two nights in a row we were out until 9pm.
