Dillsburg to Tioga County

Saturday 10-12, by the time we left the CG the creek water was back in its bank, we were both amazed at how fast it came up and then receded again.  We finally get out of the CG about 10:30, Brad stopped for fuel while I took the bikes and rack to Mel’s.  We then met at Tractor Supply and got Rudy a new leash, a stop at the storage unit, then lunch with dad at the Summerdale Diner, on the road again about 2:15.  With all the rain and stuff on Friday, we were flooded in the CG and couldn’t get out to do our last day running.  We finally get to Tioga County and settled in about 6:30…..what a long day.  The CG is small and we are the only one’s here, no Internet or cell service but we can get texts, now that we hooked up the booster. 

Sunday we headed over to see the Ochenriders before they were packed up to head home.  It was a nice visit and I think we kept them from getting ready to leave.  They did decide they were coming up and next weekend since we’ll be here to visit.  We borrowed a propane tank then headed back home, walked the dog a lot, a little hike through the woods, hot dogs for dinner, a lazy kind of day for us.

Can you say 'Yard Art?'

Monday we headed into the Knoxville post office (closed), so into Ackley’s for propane and we were both surprised to see the lack of inventory they had.  We decided that if they aren’t going out of business they are doing a mighty good imitation.  We then headed home to get things ready for the rain they are calling for on Tuesday.  Brad hooked up the propane tank, and the water hose for the black tank, we put out the awning and anchored that down. Brad washed the bug guts off the windshield and the front of the Moho.  I then filled my bird feeder, hung that up and just spent the better part of the afternoon puttering around the campsite. We then headed to the VFW for wings, oops, not on Monday so we had a couple of beers then headed home to see what we could scrounge up here. 

Tuesday I put dinner in the crock pot then we headed out for a day of running.  First stop, lunch as the courthouse was closed.  After that Brad stopped at the insurance company, no luck, I’m not sure they are really an authorized insurance company.  Then off to the Court House to get his doe license (his never showed up in the mail), off to the liquor store and we did some window shopping while in town.  We head home about 3:00 and did all the back roads, just enjoying the color and fall weather.  Back home walk the dog then had ham and green beans for dinner, yum.    We never did get much rain, but at least all our outdoor chores had gotten done. 

Wednesday we packed up all the laundry (lots from the rainy Friday we had) and headed into the Laundromat to do all the rags, rugs and heavy clothes.  We walked down to the coffee shop and while in there we ran into Ken May, so we chit-chatted with him until he left, then we headed back to check on the clothes.  After they are in the dryer, Brad headed over to the hunting store to get his archery license and ask about getting the bow sited in, (we put a new scope on it last year and need to find a place that can make sure it’s mounted correctly).  After that gathered up the laundry, back home put all that away then head off to see Don and Bonnie Gilman.  We ended up visiting with them about 2 hours, lots to talk about and stories to share.  We headed home about 4:00, tended to Rudy then off to the VFW for hoagies. 

Camp site with Pavilion

Thursday morning I get ready for my 10:20 Dr. Appointment for my regular yearly checkup (1 year late), x-ray of my hip and orders for blood work and a mammogram.  I get back home about noon to find Brad putting the bathroom fan back together.  He had taken it apart to clean it and when he had it back together, found a part on the table he forgot to put back, so he tore it apart again to replace the missing pin.  I have the computer outside under our “private” pavilion working on the blog and enjoying the wonder weather.  There is rain and colder weather in the forecast, so I’m going to enjoy what I can.  About 2:00 we headed out to do some running, over to Elkland, and a cruise around the back roads, getting lost and ending up in NY.  Back home, tend to Rudy, then off to the VFW for wings.  We have missed the food from there and it is nice to be so close.  Back home tend to Rudy and off to bed about 10:00.

Lovin' the leaves

Today, Friday we got up and headed out about 11:00.  Over to Mansfield for lunch, Lowes, Tractor Supply and back to the coffee shop so I can publish the blog.  It is now about 3:30, we didn't get anything we actually came over here for, but got lots of things we didn't need or were shopping for.  Will try to post again, before it's catch up for the week.
