We were up and rolling by 10:30 am no need to hurry with only a 4 hour drive to Buttonwood campground(145 mi). We packed everything but didn't bring in the slides. Diane headed into the Wine and Sprits store while I finished packing and headed out. I stopped for fuel and also put diesel additive into the tank. Luckily I had a flexible funnel or that would never have worked. I don't know who design's this stuff, the neck on the bottle was short and fat I could barely get it to drain into the tank. After a little help from my funnel I had it working. In the mean time Diane was headed to the rendezvous point in Liberty. I finished fueling and put the pedal to the metal and headed her way. We meet at the Liberty gas station, hooked up the truck and headed down the highway. We rolled into Buttonwood around 3pm and with the covid-19 they escorted us to our site no office check in. We hit on and off drizzle/rain most of the way down. To top that off somewhere around Williamsport the passenger side wiper came loose. Had to turn off the wipers and exit the interstate without seeing well. It all worked out we parked fixed the wiper(I think) and were back on the road in just a few minutes. Anyway we made it, the truck and motorhome looked like crap after driving in the rain all day. We got settled into our spot and not long after Lynne and Rick rolled in with there nice shiny vehicles, seems they didn't hit any rain at all. We chatted with Lynne while Rick hooked up their camper. Home made ham and bean soup for dinner then sat by the fire and visited for awhile.

Rick had lost/forgot most everything except the motorhome so he headed home for medicine/wallet/owners card and was forced to stop for a bagel on his way. Lynne had to work for a few hours, Diane and I washed the truck it was so bad you couldn't see out the windshield and was just filthy. We went to check out Mifflintown, Mifflin, and Port Royal before stopping at the grocery and Wine and Sprit stores. We had nachos for dinner some more fire time made a rough plan for tomorrow before calling it a night.

We all started off with a nice breakfast of scrapple, eggs and toast. Diane and Lynne went for firewood and just a drive around the area while Rick and I aired up some river tubes for sitting in the river.. We had a quick lunch and headed down to water to cool off. We were in the water only a few minutes when the clouds rolled in. I'm telling you it has been hot and humid here for the past few days. This morning there was not a cloud in the sky we had to sit in the shade of the motorhomes to eat breakfast. And just like that when we go to enjoy the river it gets cloudy. But we had a good time anyway. After a hour or so Diane and Lynne fixed us up with a beverage and all seemed better. We went back to the Moho around 4pm started to prepare for dinner as the skies cleared and sun returned. Steaks, mushrooms, grilled brussel spouts and baked sweet potatoes. I think we all ate a little to much. A couple glasses of wine by the fire and the day was over. A great day.

Sunday 31 May 2020
The weekend is over already. We all cleaned packed getting ready to head out. Other than the ride down we had wonderful weekend with great weather and we enjoyed our visit. The Shirks headed out around 10:30 and we were right behind them at 11:15. Another really nice day we finish the 71 mile drive to PA Dutch County in Manheim around 1:15. After setting up we had a late lunch and settled for hot dogs cooked over the fire for dinner. We have a week here to visit with Mel and Pere before Shane and Morgan's wedding on Saturday.

Traveled this road many times,
never before did we notice
the center wooden guide rails.
