| Wonderful Site, need to revisit |
We made it to Dillsburg March 27, spent 2 weeks doing what needed done, got through Dad's sale, stayed an extra day so we could see Shane, then on the road again.
We left Sunday April 12, heading to Coopers Rock State Park in Morgantown, WV....what a beautiful place. But first, we had to stop in Gettysburg, no brake light showing that the car brake was working. We got that fixed then on to Chambersburg where we stopped for lunch, then yea we finally hit the road, stopping one more time at the Gap visitor center. We just like that place and it has some beautiful views. We didn't have a WV map, so our next stop is at the welcome center then finally off to the CG. The lady at the WC didn't know if it was open, but we chanced it, a very narrow, windy road into the place, but we made it, only running off the side one time (yikes). We checked in, bought a bag of fire wood
(small bag) and had a fire and hot dogs that night. What a beautiful night, no TV, very little cell service and a fire until bed time, a very enjoyable first night on the road again.  |

Monday we got on the road, sunny and warm, nice day to travel. We have decided to not use the main routes, so we hit route 50 heading to Chillicothe, Ohio. It was a nice ride for the most part, windy and hill, but a fairly slow, peaceful ride. We had a couple of stops, just for breaks and pulled into the CG about 3:30. Not a bad place, nice enough for a one night stop, but not a destination that I need to got back to. There was no cable and very little on the antenna, so we suffered with MeTV all night......I can tolerate that channel for a couple of hours, but by the end of the night, I had had enough. Off to bed listening to the rain on the roof of the Moho.
Tuesday we didn't get on the road until 10:30....don't know why, we just weren't moving very fast. We got hooked up and heading back to the highway, when Brad noticed that the car was not following us, but was off to the side.....not good. He pulled over(stopped on 2 lane road, 4 ways on, back to the car, where we unhitched, re-hitched and too a little finagling, but we finally got it to work. We did stop on the ramp to the main road just to double check and again about 20 miles down

the road....just to make sure all was fine.....what a scare. We tried another day of two lane roads, routes 35 in Ohio and 46 and 9 in Indiana, nice driving and we enjoy being off the Interstates. So now we are heading to the Whitaker Place CG, at the Military base called Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, IN, as long as I can find a good phone number. I tried the main number listed, no answer, no machine, I called the second number and left a message. I did get a return call, but it was a private line and the poor guy had nothing to do with the place. So back on the internet, looked up the base and just started calling numbers that seemed like they would relate to the CG. I finally got a hold of the correct place after about 6 wrong numbers. We decided to spend 2 nights, $20.00 a night and free fire wood....not bad, and it ended up being a nice place. The CG seems new, no shade trees, but on a cloudy day, who cared. We parked and I headed up to the office to check in. Back to the Moho, a little walk in the woods, and 4 ticks pulled off Rudy, so out of the woods, back to the Moho and a fire started. We are just having sausages, so a little foil on their grates and we'll be good to go. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes....probably laundry and a day of recovery here at the CG. We are hoping to visit Jim, our friend we met last year at Utah, on this trip for a couple of days.....hope it all works out.
